How to change QIcon color?

Question

I am working on a custom control box (that min,max/restore/close button in the top right of your Windows titlebar) for my new application. I use closeIcon = style.standardIcon(QStyle.SP_TitleBarCloseButton) to get the correct icon for them. See the full code here in my other SO question. What I got is a black icon. In which I need the white version when it's in hover state. should be white

Can we .. I don't know, inverse it? Or should I get another icon from QStyle?

Could you draw a picture of what you want? Just exchange black with white in the close icon? — NoDataDumpNoContribution, Jul 04 '14 at 08:02
Thanks for the respond @Trilarion, but unfortunately I don't have the need to have this feature anymore. I explain in the answer — swdev, Jul 05 '14 at 02:50

This question (and several others) are from the intention of creating a chrome like tab in PyQt application, by hiding the titlebar and reimplementing control box. But it didn't gives the best result. Right now this is my solution to create a chrome like tab in PyQt application. Therefore, I close this question.

By the way, for this particular case, I simply create two version of icons: black and white. And creating a new pushbutton class, that specifically override `enterEvent` and `leaveEvent`. In there, I switch the active icon using `setIcon` to appropriate black/white icon – swdev Jul 06 '14 at 06:44
