Tray Icon - Color palette exploration #2128

Open xenolightning opened 8 years ago

xenolightning commented 8 years ago

Explore the possibility of having icons better suited to a dark colour palette, a la Windows 10 default.

Black icons on black, are not particularly useful.

See #2127 originally raised by @VictorZakharov for more details.

I second that. We can already assign icons to Devices via ico/exe files, however if the app contained several white speaker/headphones icons, that we could assign to devices that would be great.

A simple white background or a shadow that traces the outline of the icons would work.

@brianpeiris Not a bad idea!

It's something that could probably be done on the fly too. Rather than including a full set of icons.

I'll post an update here once I know more.

Might be able to do a white drop shadow, using the technique described in that article.
