Glad to hear that) Yes, it turned out quite a flexible solution.
Nice, that FreeCAD supports SVG, most of software still uses pixelart bitmap.

Thanks!
Doing our best) We've started addon's formalization process.
Yes, I faced such issue on Arch/Cinnamon. Guess, that why there are no ArchiCAD/AutoCAD version for Linux, and that's why they have they own GUI.triplus wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2019 6:46 pm Current FreeCAD icons are a bit bulky due to the fact they try to support light/dark backgrounds by default. Therefore simply put icons need twice the amount of information. COIL theme would therefore i guess need to use at minimum two coils to do the same. BUT that would likely be a compromise, and looking at your work, i don't know if it would be justified. Single COIL by design, no compromise. Slight problem might be, that some desktop environments, like GNOME on Ubuntu, can use light background for the application window and dark background in menus.
If you would like to better address different possible backgrounds, providing single icon theme, you would likely need to add a bit of extra information, to each individual icon. Likely that would at minimum come down to using solutions such as using twice the amount of geometry and/or color. Now, on most desktops out there, sensible light/dark variant should suffice.
On desktops, where light/dark variant would suffice, such "unified" variant might look like an compromise. For real "unified" icon theme, you likely therefore would need to make icons more packed with information. Coil with two windings.Here is how Unified COIL (U_COIL) will look like with current low backgrounds contrast base.
It's a custom Linux desktop environment theme. For Linux a plethora of them exists out there. Literally they come in all colors. In addition, the same could apply for FreeCAD theme. Currently two official style sheet variants are available by default. But there are no limits, on possibly having more of them in the future. If somebody will make them other people will likely use them.Meanwhile, I've seen Yorik uses Blender 2.8-like dark scheme. Where I need to press in FreeCAD to get something like this?
I think it is possible to make unified COIL theme contrast enough, if to make dark theme background darker.triplus wrote: ↑Mon Apr 01, 2019 11:27 pm It's a custom Linux desktop environment theme.
