One of the great attributes of LiveCode is as the ide is written in LiveCode, it's really easy to hack. So changing the colour of the menu bar is a simple one liner. Set the backgroundColor of stack "revMenubar" to mycolor - Andy Piddock My software never has bugs. It just develops

Re: Black icons in LC 8 DP 14

The label text of the menu buttons actually does go bold, but it seems to be an unfortunate feature of the system font on OSX (Yosemite onwards) that it either changes imperceptibly or not at all when bolded. I have noted it as something we should deal with.

Re: Black icons in LC 8 DP 14

An interesting fact about the new, black icons, is not that they are black, but that they are NOT the previous coloured icons rendered in black, but entirely new designs (generally larger), and a lot of them have new names. Richmond. ___

Richard, you can make that 4! But i've always been a fan of dark themes. I like the monotone icons but agree with Devin that the active state needs to be more pronounced, maybe a subtle colour overlay on the button? - Andy Piddock My software never has bugs. It just develops random

Re: Black icons in LC 8 DP 14

I'm seeing what I think is a related issue in the Script Editor. Not sure what font was used in the SE tabs prior to 8 DP14 but it was noticeably bold on the active tab. In DP14, the bold is hardly noticeable so I'm guessing it's using the system font and this is the same issue as with the
