I have only simply overwrote the old icons by same file name and compiled Npp that way to have a working example. I am not a programmer and therefore have no ability to add these icons to Npp properly, such as having them automatically used when a user chooses NppDarkMode. So I have to do each icon manually and give each pixel some love. So while I could technically batch convert all icons to make the process easier for myself, the batch converted icons suffered from some imperfections and pixel related issues that show up more at 16x16.

There are also a lot of challenges with scaling SVG to tiny sizes (16x16) and converting to old BMP format. So the saved icon was being color-shaded red or green depending on whether the tab was in focus or not and I believe that this is something that requires coding changes and cannot be solved with icons in tab bar. Tab styles, like bright red and green backgrounds. While due to windows' visual styles, pretty much every theme (including theĭefault notepad theme) is using incredibly jarring and garish colors for Unfortunately, since the tab color styling has not really worked in a long I assume this is related to the following issue mentioned over at ( #9587 (comment)): Part of the reason why I made the change on the tab bar with the saved icon is because of a problem where the saved icon was being colored constantly regardless of the color that I was using.

Instead, I made it so that the icon shows up on the tab only when changes are made, making it clear to the user that the latest changes have not yet been saved. I got rid of the constant save button icon that is always present on each tab. I also focused more on the icons in the tab bar as well. The second WIP focused on the filled Fluent UI icon type in the hopes that it would be softer on the eyes. The first WIP NppFluentUI Icons for NppDarkMode was based on the regular Fluent UI icons. Essentially, I don't want to create any kind of noise in that discussion because it is more programming related whereas this is more image/icon related.Įasy to navigate site for Fluent UI icons: My first WIP: I created this separate issue so that icon related details don't clutter up the main discussion PR #9587 that has created.
