Bug Description

### Affected version
GNOME Shell 45.2 on Ubuntu 23.10 (Wayland)

### Bug summary

When you switch between dark and light mode the icon theme is reset. This also affects other theming options, such as the "Legacy applications" theme option in Gnome Tweaks. I suspect that it also affects the primary color settings, since I remember having it changed to the default orange after switching from light to dark some days ago, but I don't remember what setting I changed before this.

### Steps to reproduce

1. On Gnome Tweaks > Appearance, change the icon theme (I used Papyrus dark)
2. On the quick toggles, switch between dark and light mode
3. Switch again between dark and light mode

### What happened

The icon theme is changed to "Yaru-blue" and then to "Yaru-blue-dark"

### What did you expect to happen

No change to my icon theme, or at least use its light variant.

### Relevant info

Some `gsettings` options:

```bash
# After changing the icon theme
org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Yaru-blue-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Papirus-Dark'

# After switching to light mode
org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'default'
org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Yaru-blue'
org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Yaru-blue'

# After switching to dark mode again
org.gnome.desktop.interface color-scheme 'prefer-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme 'Yaru-blue-dark'
org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme 'Yaru-blue-dark'
```
