Hi,
 
I tried to run Lazarus with dark theme and icons for TLabel and TStaticText are not visible. I propose to use that blue color used with the old icons instead of black.

PS: I have no direct contact to author of icons, FTurtle, so I sent it to Lazarus ML.  

Which "dark theme"? Is Lazarus themed? Or do you mean OS theme? What if somebody selects a blue-ish theme?

FTurtle is not responsible for the palette icons; those were drawn by Ally, a user of the German Lazarus forum.

I mean dark OS theme. See attached screeenshot. It was blue before, it can be found on the wiki: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Tutorial#The_Component_Palette Such blueish theme is IMO unusual, the most common themes are light and dark grey (or black), sometimes with only a small saturation.  
I didn't know about Ally. I saw issues with icon-patches on bugtracker opened by FTurtle, I thought he is author.

Wish for contributions.txt of Lazarus: separate section for picture painters: separate it with caption "Graphic artists" and write like this:

Ally (IDE pallette icons)

FTurtle (IDE command icons)

....

, because ...?

I contacted Ally and asked him to modify these icons.

Ally has been mentioned in contributions.txt with his real name since his first contributions. Now I added "component icons" to his name in the same way as it is done for the translators. But I don't agree with AlexeyT that we should list "Graphic designers" separately. I don't know if FTurtle is already listed, I don't know his real name. -------------- next part --------------

No way, in that case we must split Translators, Developers etc ...there's simply no point to touch contributions.txt.

+1

Of all the things that can be done to improve Lazarus and fpc, I believe that contribution.txt ranks in a very low place, as long as all contributors are listed.

because then users can find authors of Palette icons, menu icons, dialogs icons, and tell them feedback.

You should use a wiki page for that information.

Installed packages add icons too.
All packages contain an author field. And the authors are often mentioned in the readme of the folder as well. For consistency the icon contributors should be added in the images/README.txt.

Mattias

All icon/image authors are (or should be - I updated README.txt in r56687) in images/copyright.txt

I don't think we need to duplicate the information in the contributors file or images/README.txt

Even better :)

All my images currently are mentioned at images/copyright.txt: https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazarus/trunk/images/copyright.txt

The most quick and reliable way to contact me is to send personal FTurtle

You did a great job, thank you! But can icons for TButton and TToggleBox be more visually different?

I contacted Ally (the author of the palette icons) about this, too.

Done in r56689 (incl the TToggleBox). Still not perfectly visible on black background, but visible at least...  If you want the text brighter you should create your own png icons (the svg sources are on ccr/image_sources), overwrite the existing ones in (lazarus)/images/components, recreate the res file by executing the corresponding script in (lazarus)/images and rebuild the IDE.
