The folio icons (Add, Remove, Properties, New folio, Title block
template) were anti-aliased gray page drawings, and the previous commit
left them untouched on the dark palette, where their soft gray fills
read blurry next to the line-art icons. They are now pixel-grid SVGs in
ico/scalable/ in the style of the Add PDF icon: a landscape sheet with
a title block line, a plus or minus badge in the corner, text lines for
properties, a filled title block for the template. Same 24 pixel canvas
as pdf-import.svg, same currentColor recoloring for the dark theme.
Only the 22 pixel PNGs go: five files leave ico/22x22 and both .qrc
files, and the alias list in misc/make_icon_themes.py that exposed
three of them under a second name is down to conductor2.png. The 16
pixel files stay, so menus and the projects panel keep their icons at
that size, and the 128 pixel diagram.png stays for the configuration
page list.
tests/qttest/tst_qeticons: every file in ico/scalable/ resolves in both
themes at 22, 24, 32 and 64 pixels, dark ink on light and light ink on
dark, with no 22 pixel PNG left beside it; the light-art check reads
the folio family at 16 pixels, where the page art remains.
The "Add PDF" action used ico/22x22/pdf-import.png, a white page with a
red PDF mark that sat apart from its neighbors "Add text" and "Add
image", both gray line art in a square frame with a plus. It is now
ico/scalable/pdf-import.svg, the same pixel design as insert-image.png:
a frame, the letters PDF, a plus in the corner. One file serves every
slot and stays sharp on high-DPI screens; the PNG is gone from both
.qrc files.
The canvas is 24 pixels with the art offset by one, like the Breeze
SVGs already in the theme. Fusion's toolbar slot is 24 pixels: a 22
pixel PNG is drawn unscaled inside it, but a scalable icon is rendered
at the slot size, and a 22 pixel grid stretched to 24 puts every one
pixel line between pixels and reads blurry.
The file uses currentColor like the Breeze SVGs already in the theme,
so misc/make_icon_themes.py produces the dark copy the same way. A new
ico/scalable/ folder holds QET's own vector icons; the direction
arummler asked for in #690.
tests/qttest/tst_qeticons: the icon resolves in both themes at 16, 22,
32 and 64 pixels, dark ink on the light theme and light ink on the dark
one, and no 22 pixel PNG remains.
misc/make_icon_themes.py sorted icons by saturation alone, so a white
page with a small red mark counted as line art and its dark copy turned
the page black: the PDF import icon read black on black (#919,
Kellermorph), and the folio, diagram and label icons came out as dark
pages with a light border.
An icon whose visible pixels are at least 30% near white is now "light
art" and inherits from the qet theme untouched; it already reads on a
dark toolbar. The generator also removes dark files it no longer
produces, so a reclassified icon falls back to the light theme instead
of keeping a stale copy. Thirteen files leave ico/themes/qet-dark.
tests/qttest/tst_qeticons: every dark theme file, taken as its mean
visible color, reaches 3:1 on the dark palette's window color; the
lightest-pixel check it replaces let a black page with a light border
through. Asking the dark theme for pdf-import, diagram, label, the
folio icons and diagram_bg returns the light art.
189 of QET's 266 fixed-size icons are black line art with no dark
variant, so on a dark palette they were black on a dark toolbar, and
Fusion's disabled rendering lightened them into something more readable
than the enabled state (GitHub #466, #870; bugtracker 335 for the
element panels, which keep their own fix).
The theme "qet-dark" holds light-ink copies of the line-art icons in
ico/themes/qet-dark, generated by misc/make_icon_themes.py. Colored
icons are not copied; the theme inherits them from "qet". An icon counts
as line art when fewer than 20% of its visible pixels are saturated. The
copies keep hue and alpha and invert lightness, scaled so each icon's
darkest ink becomes (220,220,220), the dark palette's text color. The
eight SVG icons get their color replaced the same way.
QETApp::applyIconTheme() picks "qet-dark" for a dark palette and "qet"
otherwise. It runs from initIconTheme(), again from initStyle() once the
palette is final, and on the OS color scheme switch. Icons created with
QIcon::fromTheme() re-resolve on their next paint, so nothing else
changes.
With light-ink files, Fusion's own disabled rendering comes out dimmer
than enabled with no extra code.
tests/qttest/tst_qeticons: every name resolves in both themes, every
dark file has light ink, and a Fusion tool button shows its icon at 3:1
in both themes with disabled weaker than enabled.
QET had no icon theme: the 446 entries of the icon table and the 116
iconsets in .ui files each named a resource path, so an icon could only
ever be one file, and a variant for another palette or a vector source
had nowhere to go (GitHub #466, #690, #870). This adds the theme layout
without changing a single pixel; a dark variant comes in a follow-up.
The theme "qet" follows the freedesktop layout Qt's icon loader
understands. misc/make_icon_themes.py generates ico/icon-themes.qrc,
which aliases the existing ico/<size>/<name>.png files into
themes/qet/<size>/<name>.png, and ico/themes/qet/index.theme. No file
moves. The four table entries that paired a 16 pixel file with a 22
pixel file of another name (ConductorSettings, DiagramAdd,
DiagramDelete, DialogInformation) get the 22 pixel file aliased under
the 16 pixel name.
QETApp::initIconTheme() registers the theme before initIcons() and makes
it current on every platform, so a desktop icon theme cannot replace
QET's icons. Icons are then looked up by name: QIcon::fromTheme() in
qeticons.cpp and in the few places that built a QIcon from a resource
path directly, and theme="..." on the iconsets in .ui files, with the
resource path kept as fallback. Flags, color swatches, application and
MIME icons stay on their paths.
One entry does not go through the theme. The elements panel draws the
project root with ProjectFileGP in the 50 pixel slot it reserves for
element previews, and the name "project" also carries the 128 pixel
file the configuration dialog uses. On a 2x display Qt's loader picks
that file for a 50 pixel request and fills the slot. ProjectFileGP
loads the 16 and 22 pixel files directly, as before.
tests/qttest/tst_qeticons: every name in the theme resolves, the four
aliases resolve at 22 pixels, a Fusion tool button shows its icon at
3:1 with disabled weaker than enabled, and the project root icon stays
at 22 pixels or less when asked for 50 at 2x while the configuration
dialog still gets its 128 pixel file. The rendering helpers shared
with tst_qetpalette moved to tests/qttest/inkcontrast.h.
Standard buttons (OK/Cancel) and dialogs are translated by qtbase_XX.qm,
which macdeployqt does not deploy. QETApp::setLanguage() falls back to
lang/qt_XX.qm, so copy each qtbase_XX.qm there, with aliases for QET
languages Qt only ships with a region (pt -> pt_PT, zh -> zh_CN).
macdeployqt kept /opt/homebrew paths (e.g. libbrotlicommon's install id).
Rewrite them to @rpath/libX.dylib, copying the library into Frameworks
if needed, over 3 passes to handle chained dependencies.
Recent Homebrew bottles (brotli, webp, sharpyuv) reference their deps as
@rpath/libX.dylib, which macdeployqt skips. Copy them from /opt/homebrew/lib
into Contents/Frameworks after macdeployqt, and abort if any @rpath or
/opt/homebrew reference remains unresolved. Drop the ineffective -libpath.
lang1/ was a leftover from the pre-Qt6 translation pipeline.
Qt6/CMake now produces all .qm files directly into lang/, which
is already copied above, making this step dead code.
CFBundleIdentifier was "org.qelectrotech", but Qt derives
"org.qelectrotech.QElectroTech" from setOrganizationDomain()
and setApplicationName() for the app's own preferences file
(~/Library/Preferences/org.qelectrotech.QElectroTech.plist).
Align the two so the shipped bundle and the CMake target (see
CMakeLists.txt MACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER) use the same
identifier regardless of build path.
Note: this changes the bundle's LaunchServices identity, so
users may need to redo "Open With QElectroTech" file
associations once after updating.
CFBundleIconFile in misc/Info.plist was set to qelectrotech.icns, including the file extension.
Per Apple convention this key should hold the icon name without the extension — macOS appends .icns itself.
On recent macOS versions this mismatch causes the Finder to fall back to the generic placeholder icon instead of the actual app icon.
Fix: CFBundleIconFile → qelectrotech (no extension), matching the existing CFBundleTypeIconFile entries (elmt, titleblock, qet) which were already correct.
