I have checked the link and I’m already following those rules so I think there is nothing to change when you update it but to create the folders

New version:
Download v.04 here modern_iconset_v04.zip (1,5 MB)
As commented in my first post, although under Synfig v1.5.1 Preferences there is an option to change “icon theme”, it only changes some of them, not the whole set so I suggest to test the modern icons as follows:
I hope you like the update
@rodolforg, how could I check the Ghost Group layer funcionality so that I can design an icon for it? I have seen references in the source code but it looks like it is not operative… am I right?
Thanks
Ghost layers are layers that are supposed to exist in a Switch Layer, but don’t.
The Active Layer Name
parameter of a Switch Layer
can be set/animated with non existent inner layers. In this case, Synfig Studio will show fake/bogus layer children with those names.
A user-written sif file can have it, but here is a way to make it, and the correspondent file:
ghost-layer.sifz (1,2,KB)
Circle093
Circle02
and Circle03
ctrl+shift+a
)Group Layers into Switch
Circle093
in the Active Layer Name
parameterCircle093
as Circle01
Circle02
in the Active Layer Name
parameterOther way to make it happen is to import a lipsync file that you didn’t prepare all the mouth shapes.
Thanks @rodolforg, now I know how to get a ghost layer but… is this a bug? I mean, in what scenario would it this be useful?
I would say that if you rename a layer which is inside a Switch Layer
, then the Active Layer Name
should update with the new name, doesn’t it?
Finally, I guess this is the ghost layer that I should design the icon for, right?
Thanks again
Not necessarily a bug.
If user is using lipsync file, it can happen too, until user set all mouth shapes.
It works as a reminder or warning that such named layer should exist.
Got it, thanks again.
How about these two options?
Any opinions? @KonstantinDmitriev @lobozamora @Khemardi @FirasH @Svarov
Maybe the second option, but with question mark ?
?
Why not to add a little Ghost on the folder?
(<- Not necessarily this one)
Or even better, one of the Good Ghosts of our friend @nethertales !
Here you have all the proposed options:
I can also design a ghost, but I think it’s too literal and does not represent what the “functionality” really does.
The frowning face ghost
@rodolforg I like Ghost Layer (option 1) but I think if it was a light grey in the same lowered opacity it would work better. Something like below:
or even dotted outline:
I don’t see an unified answer… what should I do?
I’m happy to say the theme is nearly finished, IMHO it’s 99% done just waiting for you to test it and get feedback.
Summing it up:

As a last thought, now is the moment to test how the “Icon theme” option under Preferences work as it looks like it doesn’t work properly (tested under macOS and Synfig 1.5.1)
I hope you like it!
Hey, pablogol.
What are the icons that don’t change when using the icon theme folder?
I took a screenshot, in red the ones that even restarting Synfig doesn’t change:
The curious thing is that if I rename the folder /classic/
to /classic_bak/
and /modern/
to /classic/
then the icon theme works perfectly…
So, may I create a Issue in Github reporting it?
Not needed anymore
Awesome!
I’ll try to test it so that everything goes fine
I finally had the time to try the fix: it works like a charm =D
Thanks
PS - Now that I could test it I have a new thing to suggest, but that’s another story, hehehe
