Icons color

Juan1966
In the 2.2.2 development version, I see that in the widget options there is an option to change the color of the icons, however, I am unable to change it. Is it possible that this option is not currently enabled or am I doing something wrong?

yes, such functionality exists, and it's possible to customize the colors of icons. However, I have to check whether it's included in the appImage installation package.

Actually, switching the colors of icons requires that an LC-specific shared library should be installed as part of the installation process.  

Which operating system do you use?

Well, basically a shared library built as part of the primary build of LibreCAD should be present.

For Windows, there should be <LibreCAD_INSTALL_DIR>\iconengines\lc_svgicons.dll.

If one is present, using the Widget options dialog, it is possible to customize values of three base colors present in icons.

I've noted that in my pull request there - https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/pull/2078
and here is a link to the demo video.  

BTW—external icons that are located in some given directory are also supported (the name of .svg icon file should be the same as used internally).

However, it might be that the shared library file itself is not included in the installer package - have to check this.

p.s—usually, I note the information about new and changed features in my pull requests. However, it might be that they are closed too fast and so are not visible to the majority of users.

Just in case, more details about various changes can be found there: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Asand1024+is%3Aclosed

I'm using Windows 11. Although it's not yet operational in the downloadable version, I appreciate this option and the other one I wasn't aware of, which is changing the icons to SVG format. These two options are an extraordinary step towards customizing Librecad.
