I switched to the "ShadeOfGray" theme. When using this theme some menu icons were too light and could not be seen as is, so I found the configure>miscellaneous entry for Icon Theme and changed that to "Breeze Dark". Nice! All is good now. However, maybe you could make it a little easier by including both the Theme and the Icon Theme in the same menu or same configuration page? Or provide a popup hint reminder to also change Icon Theme when changing the theme? Or even change them together with a Theme entry of "Shade of Gray using Breeze Dark (restart required)" A minor issue, but though I would point it out since it took me a while to figure this out again. It does look good now.
Geoff, Perhaps we need to make a map of suitable color themes and icon themes. Can you provide a list of valid combinaisons ? Of course, if we go in this direction, we can only provide color theme options in main menu. Icon theme will be selected automatically with this option and Setup/misc/Icon theme combobox must be removed. Your viewpoint ? Gilles Caulier
I like the idea of combining the two. I think it would be a good simplification to have these settings in the same place or combined. I have a couple suggestions depending on the OS used (Mac or Windows). These could be considered separate, but I'll group here for now as they are interrelated. For Mac 10.11: -On Mac the background of the system menus (for example the Browse menu at top of screen) always remain the same gray color, regardless of the theme or icons selected [this is different than on Windows]. The icon colors do affect the colors in these menus and the "Breeze Dark" icons are too light (white on gray). So the Mac version should always use icons and text that have a dark color such as "Breeze" in these menus regardless of other settings. -The icons and text in the GUI (Such as Properties on the right side or Albums on the left) are dependent on the selected color theme and icon scheme. Below is a map of recommended Themes combined with Icons to use in the GUI Mac : Theme Name - GUI Icons Default - Breeze Black Body - Breeze Dark Color Contrast - Breeze Dark Dark Room - Breeze Dark Gray Card - Breeze Dark High Key - Breeze Low Key - Breeze Dark Shade Of Gray - Breeze Dark Sunset Color - Breeze Dark White Balance - Breeze Windows: This is a little different. All the menus have the same color background. So the same matrix of themes and icons can be used for all.. You could use the same map list as above. Additionally I've adjusted the names below so that they all have spaces in them (can report a separate bug for this if you like)
