Icons for button (self.layout.cmyk\_4\_lock) :

```auto
        self.icon_lock = self.Icon_Lock(self.gray_contrast)
        self.svg_lock_cmyk_4 = QtSvg.QSvgWidget(self.layout.cmyk_4_lock)
        self.svg_lock_cmyk_4.load(self.icon_lock)

```auto

        "</svg>"
        )
        array = bytearray(string, encoding='utf-8')
        return array

```

But yeah QtSvg module so people will have issues because Linux version if not an app image they can’t read it.

@tachiko @LunarKreatures

I just want to ask if you are experiencing a sudden brush resetting to 100 when a toggle is set?  
Specially for brushes with predefined brush tip?

I have a buggy version of krita I think. I need to reinstall because I encounter other bugs that probably shouldnt occur.  
I did try your latest update and was buggy but its probably on my end.  
And I was not using your plugin enough to know if it was buggt before either

</div>

I pushed another fix.

You can try it and see if any issue about it occurs again ^-^

From time to time there’s a short time where the brush is force to go back to its actual whenever it gets reset to 100. its blink think. if the toggle is on the side its back before the cursor is in the canvas.

Change some of them;

I change color-rate and flow, they are easily confuse if someone colorblind and if its in small.

Right now I think the only one with issue at very small size is pressure-size. It can be confuse for pressure-toggle-off. Still studying how to add them to my plugin.

Your widget should have something like seticon and you need to give it a QIcon to it or maybe a QPixmap.

Thank you, got busy stretch this week and I haven’t look into the code after finalizing my icons.  
I’ll try it once I can work on this again. For now I’m pretty happy with my icons, I think they represent their respective function well enough.

I kinda made it work with QIcons, the dark icons [#373737] looks nice except for softness.  
I followed how Krita Icons are saved which are 22 x 22px svgs in two modes light and dark.

Soak Ink one is a pretty fun icon cause it dunks the brush 😂

softness needs work, a bit of adjustment to paintmode.

OTH dark theme light icon ver needs alot work.

[idk how to work pixmap so i just qicon from file. I think i need a way to know if the theme is dark or light]

Love the icons, I feel like you could have the option to hide text and make icons larger and square. Since the Icons are very good on their own. maybe a hover 1 sec to see text toolbox.

yes - thats what i want. to have a tall layout or a thin layout with large icon only.

Still need lots to figure out.

Soak Ink is… pretty fun icon if I say so myself 😂

@EyeOdin

We are getting there 😃 . figure out to size the icon - with the button.

Just need to do a bit of cleaning and make it figure out whats the proper view ;

1. Squarish → Icon only + Tool tip
2. Short Rectangle → 3 letter
3. Long Rectangle → Full

which just a lil bit more selection and calculations.

Hello,

I have tried this and Theme\_change work in toggling the dark and light mode.

```auto
if self.window != None:
            self.window.themeChanged.connect(self.Theme_Changed)

```

I just don’t seem to manage to fire it up when i changed theme if the docker is already open when krita opens. temporarily have it in resize for testing purpose.

This only happens when the docker is already running and showing upon opening.  
If I close it and open it again via show hide docker - it works perfectly.

I think in this case the docker shows up before the windows fully loaded.

Other than that thank you 🙂

theme is reacting to 128 so it only changes from light to dark there, but it is being triggered. but in either case place debug messages and see where it is breaking exactly.
