Improve Toolbox Icon Colors for Dark Themes #411

Open Bella-Roma opened 1 year ago

Bella-Roma commented 1 year ago

Description

I'm currently running the Alpha 19 build (compiled from source) on Linux Mint 20.2.

The toolbox and menu icons are very difficult to read with my system's dark theme, as the tool box area is dark gray while the icons are black. Adding an option under Preferences/Interface to change the color of the icons that appear in the toolbox to compensate for dark themes would be great.

Thanks!

yeah, this would be a nice improvement. On the macOS dark theme the icons are somewhat legible, but proper icons would definitely help. For future testing, which dark theme are you using on Linux Mint?

Hi-

Mint comes with a number of dark options, the Mint-Y-Dark themes, which all share the same "dark" elements, but have different folder/accent colors.

I also tried the Adwaita-Dark theme.

As a work around, I used QT5 Settings to change QT app themes and settled on "Fusion" in the appearance tab with the Default palette, which is actually a light theme. There were a few darker options, but I found the default QT5 palette option to offer the best contrast of text/icons against background colors.

Testing this app on Manjaro (Dark mode theme) and the Toolbox Palette is unusable, it's dark icons over dark background. Couldn't find an option to change the style of the Toolbox palette. This is a must have feature that is currently common on apps. :)
