I'm unsure if this is a Mac bug, or more systematic...

A student uses Dark theme on a Mac. While most of the text is correctly white-text on black background, the molecule / filename list is not...

And also, the icons in the Layer panel are dark-on-dark:

So I guess the first question is whether the black-on-black text in the molecule lit happens on other systems?

Secondly, it would be great to have alternatives for light / dark versions (in SVG?) of the layer icons, e.g.https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs/blob/8dca2dafb3643790566e42053f7a7ee33d278a91/avogadro/qtgui/icons/fallback/32x32/lock.png

I know there are some good open source icon sets - I tried some image search and couldn't find the original versions.

  • lock
  • lock open
  • "…" dots
  • eye icon
  • black X to close a layer
  • (maybe also the red X for "close" in the molecule list?)
