The icons are not so bad, but adding something from the catalogs is quite tricky.

There is a similar issue here - #84 (comment)

Edit:

This summarizes what has to be done for icon sets for bright and dark theme: https://openapplibrary.org/dev-tutorials/qt-icon-themes

I leave that for somebody who wants to contribute to Kraft as a good beginner job. The icons have to be converted to bright color (or can that be done programmatically with SVG?) and added as an alternative theme to the app.

So far, Kraft needs to be run in bright mode.
The question remains how to run a single app like kraft in bright mode while the desktop is in dark mode. That would be a workaround.

As an old maintainer of breeze icons and contributor to libreoffice icon themes, I can support you with icons if needed. I also helped collaboreonline with dark mode support.

thank you very much @Andreas-Kainz for the offer. I haven't investigated too much into what has to be done to make a dark theme work properly. What do you suggest how to start? Where would you need my help?

[Andreas-Kainz]

Thanks for your feedback @dragotin I will have a look how to setup everything. Ordinary I didn't have to build everything so it should be not to complicated. When I need something, I will ask.

Can someone assigne me to the bug.

where will the custom-icons be installed ordinary on ubuntu or linux? I search the complete system after the svg files, but didn't find them.
