Light Icons for Dodo Workbench

Post by TerenceL »

Hi,
Got to say thanks to all the developers. These new dark themes, are really great! I was beginning to use the Dodo workbench a lot, but i find it hard to see the icons if a dark theme is used. Attached are "light" versions of the icons, if anyone is interested. Please make a backup of your existing set, before extracting the zip file into your /Mod/dodo/iconz/ folder.

Hello,
Here is my contribution for icons design.
In this set, I tried to respect the original colors as mach as possible.
With this set, it is possible to see icons clearly both in dark and light thems.

just download and place these icons int the right module path
for Ubuntu Linux 22.04 users place them at /home/[user]/snap/freecad/common/Mod/dodo
for other OS try to find the module folder location ../Mod/dodo

I do not know if my post in GitHub in the above link is sufficient, or should I do something else ?

If it's to get merged then i assume some logic would need to coded to allow the user to choose which icon set through an interface of some sort..? or did you already propose that?

You can btw use the icon theme workbench it still works. Especially if you have svg files!

I think that no extra coding is necessary. The same Icons are graphically designed to be clearly visible on both dark and light themes.
