Some icons look terrible with a dark theme (using Breeze Dark)...had to switch to another icon theme. It looks great but some icons are barely visible (dark icons on dark theme).

Yeah, I'm actually aware of this since the beginning, cause I'm not a big fan of any dark theme. I'll consider to add a dark variant to this icon theme later, but it probably won't come soon.

You can quickly (little over a minute) make turn this theme dark by using sed and find Screenshot_20190408_174030

find . -exec sed -i -e 's/4d4d4d/dbe7ff/g' {} \; find . -exec sed -i -e 's/303030/dbe7ff/g' {} \;

This command will replace the colors 4d4d4d and 303030 with dbe7ff (replace dbe7ff with your prefer 'light' color) "cd" to the Yosa directory in your terminal before running the 2 lines (make a backup of Yosa it modifies the theme) .

//4d4d4d is the color of the toolbar icons in Yosa //303030 is the color of small places icons in Yosa

You don't have to make them the same color in the light version: the KDE default themes uses 1 color for monochrome, so I went with 1 as well.

You can read about sed here (http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html)

Most of the major icon themes just recolor the monochrome icons to make a "dark icon" version, so this method gets the job done completely. You can also be slightly more fancy like Papirus, and recolor the folders in the dark theme (Pink please :). But even then this gets you most of the way.

Thanks demoy, I'm aware of using the sed script to change the svg color, I use it quite frequently to change the svg colors in batch. I'll consider to add a dark variant to this icon theme.

freywazza commented 5 years ago

A dark variant has been added.
