Fluent Icons for toolbars

[Marcio Andrade]

Hi developer, i could help you to get new W11 icons to replace the Windows 10 look on remaining parts of the program, like toolbars. 

Please let me know.

Thank you.

It is not possible - it is actually Microsoft's Segoe UI font

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/style/segoe-ui-symbol-font

so only those can show up there. I don't know if they plan to update it with new rounded icons. 

If you mean the two-color icons that they are pushing now, I didn't find a reference where those resources are, in some font or somewhere else.

I was thinking of paying subscription to icons8.com to make a custom fonts so those could be loaded as icon fonts, but I didn't check if they have everything now and if it will be consistent. 

I am not sure how that would be possible to make user customizable as framework supports only xaml or font icons, and not svg, and pngs wouldn't work well for UI.

Can't you use Segoe Fluent Icons font? And here

They are all there.

I have a paid version of icons8 and could provide you any icon you need in any format and size, could even convert Fluent Icons font into svgs or pngs.

Just let me know.

Thanks for sending this! Rereading the documentation I see there is an easy way to have appropriate w10/w11 icons applied (although not dual-color icons of win11 as I still don't see the appropriate accent part of icon as a separate glyph). I'll do that in the next update.

Thanks for the offer on icons8. I'll have to read the terms there, but I will also need to see what would be the best way to support those. My original idea was to just build an font (seems to be an option for icons8) with the same unicode map as the segoe symbol font (so replacing copy icon would consist of adding a new icons8 icon in unicode position for original segoe icon for copy). Having those as fonts would have the benefit of being vectors and rendering well for all resolutions and no need to convert svgs to xaml, which is a painful process in InkScape, but would also have the benefit of cleartype rendering (not 100% sure), plus is the easiest to implement. That process of building a font is probably too complicated for end-users, but I am not aware that any user is even taking advantage of current way of swapping folder/file/menu icon replacements with PNGs, so it probably is not benefiting much to have those open to users as well. 

I'll start with this swap with Fluent icons font for win11 and then later see what can be done with Icons8 and if they have everything needed in consistent look.

Nice to hear that, regarding to custom icon font or font,  IcoMoon App - Icon Font, SVG, PDF & PNG Generator and  Convertio are the perfect combo to create and extract glifs and generate fonts in minutes. Let me know if you need anything to implement this or want to test something.

Regards.

Those might be handy, thanks! One of those seems to let you edit a location for glyphs, so finding a better icon and changing a glyph at location like E8C4 should change the Open path popup button. Then it is just a matter of letting user choose a new font and it will replace the icons/symbols. These are all the used icons in the program (corresponding to that MDL2 / Fluent font)

Is this for me or just for anybody willing to edit their own themes?

[Milos Paripovic]

I have just released 3.7.1 update and it will use fluent icons for win11, and mdl2 for win10.

If you'd like to have more control over the icons and want to make your own custom icon set from icons8, you can use the above list to know which to change. At this time there is no way to replace those, but if you make a custom font I will make an option in settings to load it. So if you have time and better icons set, I'd be happy to do it. I am also interested in compiling a new icon set myself but have quite a few other things I want to work on first

[Marcio Andrade]

They look gorgeous, i'll see if i can make a font for myself. Thank you for being so responsive.
