Possible New User: Question About Menus/Icons

[CVH]

Hi, John

The two buttons are "Make All White Layers Black" & Make All Black Layers White"

These methods are from the Misc section and have no associated icon.

The (Pro) scripts are named:
LayerBlackToWhite.js
LayerWhiteToBlack.js

Following Andrew's notes you then need to include under the Themes folder an 'icons' folder with:
LayerBlackToWhite.svg
LayerWhiteToBlack.svg

Unsure if this works because the initialization of these scripts don't call for an icon.
Let us know.

I think that for the QCAD Dark Theme you also need to include:
LayerBlackToWhite-inverse.svg
LayerWhiteToBlack-inverse.svg
-> With an identical look of course

One of the problems I am facing is that there is no 'Default' Theme listed under themes ....

Another is that there is no icon associated initially .... Remark that these are snippets from proprietary code
Not that there are big secrets in there ... Kinda common practice for addons

Code: Select all

LayerWhiteToBlack.init = function(basePath) {
    var action = new RGuiAction(qsTr("Make all White Layers Black"), RMainWindowQt.getMainWindow());
    action.setRequiresDocument(true);
    action.setScriptFile(basePath + "/LayerWhiteToBlack.js");
    action.setGroupSortOrder(78100);
    action.setSortOrder(200);
    action.setWidgetNames(["MiscLayerMenu", "MiscLayerToolBar", "MiscLayerToolsPanel"]);
};

Code: Select all

LayerBlackToWhite.init = function(basePath) {
    var action = new RGuiAction(qsTr("Make all Black Layers White"), RMainWindowQt.getMainWindow());
    action.setRequiresDocument(true);
    action.setScriptFile(basePath + "/LayerBlackToWhite.js");
    action.setGroupSortOrder(78100);
    action.setSortOrder(300);
    action.setWidgetNames(["MiscLayerMenu", "MiscLayerToolBar", "MiscLayerToolsPanel"]);
};

Missing in both: action.setIcon(basePath + "/abcxyz.svg"); with the appropriate svg filename.
And then there is probably nothing to supersede ...

John,
I was able to force at least one of your icons with a little script using the Script Shell
The other is basically a textual swap or simply iterate further until both are found and updated.

Code: Select all

var actions = RGuiAction.getActions();
for (var c=0; c<actions.length; ++c) {
    var a = actions[c];
    var className = a.getScriptClass();
    if (className.startsWith("LayerBlackToWhite")) {
        a.setIcon("C:/Program Files/QCAD/themes/Default/icons/LayerBlackToWhite.svg");
        break;
    }
}

Confirming what I wrote earlier:

Maybe it is possible to alter all parameters for all RGuiAction's.
First hurdle would be a list of things.

In this way they only last for the current session of course.

CVH
