It might be a problem specific to my theme here... Let me play with it until I find out.

Your BCF plugin is now in the addons manager BTW! We can open the champagne

Does it show up in the Macros or Workbenches portion? If workbenches, then we need a logo

Tomorrow I will read more into the colour stuff of Qt. Maybe I did something wrong.

Since we still needed a logo, I looked a bit on the internet, but didn't find anything where I could say for sure that we would be allowed to use it. That's why I created two versions of the logo with an online tool. It does not resemble the original logo really much, but I think it fits nonetheless.

The first version:

The second version:

So what do you think looks better?

Ok then, due to the few votes for option 2, the first icon will be selected!

One little question regarding the icons: I looked briefly at the code of the addon manager on the current master branch and it looks to me like the icons being added to the source repo inside the Resources directory of the addon manager, following the naming convention AddonRepoName_workbench_icon.svg.
Does the addon manager not retrieve the icons from the global variable __icon__ FCMacro file, if one is present? Because I thought it does after reading the guidlines for macros on FreeCAD-macros.

Anyways I pushed the icon now in this commit in a separate icons directory.

The icon that is looked for by the addon manager is ADDONNAME_workbench_icon.svg where ADDONNAME is the addon name as it appears in the Addon manager and on https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons in your case BCFPlugin

The __icon__ macro field, I'm actually not sure where or even if it is used...
