Please create theme for LyX #1743

LyX is a superb text processor that outputs LaTeX quality documents. There is no match for academic publication but writing LaTeX itself. Sadly its icon set is barely usable in dark mode. Up to some extent, the icons are not that different from a subset of libreoffice ones, so it shouldn't be that difficult to port them. That said, there is the formula editor. Maybe the math toolbar icons could be reused by just changing their contrast to better work against both dark and light themes.

No need to create a separate theme, LyX gets icons from system icon theme.

@SmartFinn Are all of these actions icons?

SmartFinn commented 4 years ago

@creepertron95 yes. All of the sizes are needed, but you can add 16px only because of I able to transform 16px to 22/24px automatically.

@SmartFinn What I meant was, do I create the icons for the actions folder? Example: ./Papirus/16x16/actions/

SmartFinn commented 4 years ago

@creepertron95 yes, put the icons/symlinks into actions directory.

Hi,

I was also bothered by the icon theme of LyX for a while. I am using LyX in Ubuntu, so if you are also using Ubuntu, I hope my solution can help you.

Here is a screen shot of what my LyX looks like: https://github.com/pangchj/public/blob/Images/LyX_dark_theme.jpg

Follow the instructions in https://github.com/pangchj/public/ to set up this dark theme.

Best, pangchj
