My general point is that redrawing the icons is a massive task--there are thousands of unique icons in NetBeans, and many hundreds that are seen frequently. We really need to keep the process as simple as possible, to have a chance to get it done. The main goal here--for my own work at least--is to make NetBeans look good on Retina displays (all MacBooks) and other HiDPI displays (on both Windows and Linux). > It's probably less work to consider this now than retrofit them all later? No, I think retrofitting is actually easier--it could be done in one big batch operation. It would have to be part of a general effort to change the color scheme, which requires seeing all the ready-drawn icons side-by-side. There's also the YAGNI principle--don't pre-architect for functionality we won't yet implement. I also happen to think that the existing icon color scheme is actually a good one, and that animations should be avoided. Accent colors are a good idea, but can be limited to other parts of the LAF, such as selection highlights. -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: Neil C Smith <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, January 1, 2022 12:38 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: New theme for netbeans, team member wanted On Sat, 1 Jan 2022 at 11:29, Eirik Bakke <[email protected]> wrote: > For Dark Mode, one can apply a color filter that inverts the brightness > without changing the hues.

I wasn't suggesting otherwise, just asking to consider future proofing the SVGs now with CSS classes (or other mechanism) so this can more easily be done later. It's probably less work to consider this now than retrofit them all later?
