Hi Mike Glad to hear that you like the icons. They are actually Google’s Material Design Icons. But currently there is a licensing issue with the icons. The license under which they are available clashes with the existing license of Scid vs PC. Hopefully that will get resolved in some time. Also, the icon changing procedure is not fully complete yet. So it will take a decent amount of time. Stay tuned. Yours sincerely Aditya Chincholi From: Mike Bock I really like those icons, well done!! How can I get those and apply to my setup?

That’s a pity because I put in another bunch of icons and it looks pretty good. I also added a decent bit of padding to some of the elements. I think that’s needed for quite a few elements in Scid vs PC. I am sharing a screenshot currently. Will share the diff files in a few days. Hopefully, then we can work out how to include this as a patch. Yours sincerely Aditya Chincholi From: Steve A Geez, they're very nice. Cheers.! But there may be a problem with the license, as we are under GPL 2. and here it states https://www.apache.org/licenses/GPL-compatibility.html > Despite our best efforts, the FSF has never considered the Apache License to be compatible with GPL version 2, citing the patent termination and indemnification I can probably include them as a patch... but maybe more work needs to be done u.e. the engine add-move and add-all-variations icons. (The engine window shares the V+ button from the main buttonbar). Re the alternative add-var icon. Hmmm... unsure about which is better.

I didn’t have the setup for compiling it before. Instead of designing my own icons, I have taken icons from Google’s Material Design Icons (released under Apache 2.0 license). They seem to working well. There are a few edges to polish, but it looks good. I am attaching the main.tcl and board.tcl files below. Try it out and let me know if you are fine with it. I have a few alternate icons in mind too. We could replace the ‘+’ icon by a split icon as well (also attached). > > Also does using the Apache 2.0 License sit well with the license SCID vs PC is under? > > > > Yours sincerely > > Aditya Chincholi > > > > From: Steve A > Sent: 19 August 2020 15:18 > To: Aditya Chincholi > Subject: Re: [Scidvspc-users] A New Set of Icons > > > > Yeah.. they looked ok until i plugged them on. > > Hard to make icons without the ability to test them yourself. > > I'm not sure if i'll be able to test anymore.

So I made a few icons to replace them. Since there doesn't seem to be any direct way to do this. I have attached them with this email. Since I read somewhere while changing the piece icons that Tk works best with GIFs, I have converted them to 64x64 GIF icons as well. > > >> > > > >> > Link to get them: https://github.com/adch99/scidvspc-icons > > >> > > > >> > I don't really know how to use SVN or how to integrate these into a Tk application.
