Support for -dark variants of icons
Something we're been discussing in elementary OS (and seen discussed for macOS) is support at a toolkit level for loading dark variants of icons when the UI is being rendered in a dark style.
What we could do today:
- Have developers provide
-dark
variants of their fullcolor icons if they wish to provide a dark version. - Manually try to load those variants in places like the elementary OS dock, application launcher, and anywhere else we show app icons (like in menus, etc.) falling back to non-
-dark
variants.
However, it might be more useful if the toolkit itself supported this. There might be a better route than -dark
suffix, but I think that would be most inline with the spirit of the FD.o icon spec and how we treat the -symbolic
suffix.
