No escape from the "About QPrompt" Screen!

[SquashyHat129]

Are you ready to report?
I couldn't find a similar bug and as this relates to v2.0.0 I think its unlikely to have been spotted so far. I haven't gone back and tested it with the previous version but I don't recall it being an issue so I think this is new.

Bug Description
After navigating to the About QPrompt screen there is no immediately obvious way to get back to the main prompting screen. Initially I had to restart the software but after some experimentation I found there is a button but it is "hidden"! See detail and screen shots below.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install qprompt-2.0.0-win64.exe from the Patreon site.
2. Click on the Menu Icon (Tool Tip calls it Open Drawer)
3. Click on the About QPrompt option
4. On the resulting screen there is no Icon visible to navigate back to the main screen.

5. By hovering the mouse over the gap between the Menu Icon (Open Drawer) and the text title "About QPrompt" it is possible to find a "circle" where I think the Icon should be and a Tool Tip appears saying "Navigate Back".

Expected behavior
I would expect there to be a visible icon showing a back arrow or similar.

Detailed description of display configuration (if applicable)
I don't think this is relevant to this issue but I have 2 x 24" displays and 1 x 15" Laptop screen all at @1920*1080.

Screenshots (optional)
See above.

It may be dependent on the window manager in use... It shows under Debian-Trixie, but not under RPi-Trixie...

Some icons are placed by the Kirigami framework. Those icons are specified with a naming convention from the FreeDesktop standard. The Qt framework then tries to load an icon from the operating system that matches said name. Said icons are chosen from an iconset set by the platform's window manager.

These concepts don't apply to Windows, macOS or Android, which is why you don't get these icons for some versions of QPrompt in those platforms. The workaround is ship icons with the app and ship the app with an extra library so that it can locate those icons on these foreign systems (QPrompt is a Linux app).

It's all easier said than done. The extra library has 3 or 4 dependencies of its own, which complicate the build process. For QPrompt 1.x I had moved away from specifying icons using the FreeDesktop standard because it meant the OS would override QPrompt's icons, which made for an inconsistent user experience that was bad for users like @videosmith who run QPrompt on multiple platforms. However I could only do that for icons specified from QPrompt code.

Icons specified by third party libraries, such as the one for the About Page's back button, I have no direct control over, so it's "the FreeDesktop way or the highway".

The whole situation is more nuanced, but going into that would take too long to explain...
