Use a different red tone of colour #32

Following the discussion in #31, I noticed that the red tone of colour is a bit too orange. Visible for example here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mumble-voip/mumble-theme/master/muted_self.svg

I would like a darker and more red tone.

As far as I can see, the colour would need to be changed in the following files:

/exported/config_msgs.svg
deafened_self.svg
lock_locked.svg
muted_self.svg
/mimetypes/image-x-generic.svg
/emblems/emblem-favorite.svg
/actions/audio-input-microphone-muted.svg
/actions/format-text-bold.svg
/actions/media-record.svg

I just tested some red tones:

My favorite for now is the html colour code: ab0c10

I think you have to take into account that the icons seem to have a certain transparency set and will thus slightly "adapt" to the chosen background color. I guess that this is probably most prominent when using Mumble's Dark Theme...

Imo the red tone you are suggesting is a bit too strong :thinking:

Interesting.

:thinking: I guess I have to test it a bit more. But now that I have seen the orange, I can't make it unseen :smile:.

Regarding the red tone: Interestingly the tone kind of changes in perception, when you compare a bigger area (like the above example) with a very small area (real icon size). Nonetheless I might test other tones, including weaker tones.
