    Hi,

    first at all, I'm very happy that the development of this fantastic software continus and also very impressed about the new features.
    Now to my question: where are the icons located?
    The reason: a friend of mine is visibly impaired and uses under ubuntu the "highcontrast inverse" theme, which works fine with QLC+. Only the icons are in same cases not relay good visible, so i want to change the icon set with one which fits better to the inverse theme, how can I realize that?

    Regards Bernd

    Hi, I'm afraid the icons are bundled into a binary library, so it's not possible to change them unless you recompile QLC+ from sources.
    Sorry

    I am sorry I cannot help you in a short time.
    The easiest way to compile QLC+ is on Ubuntu Linux. In Windows and OSX might be a bit harder.
    Here's the info to build QLC:
    http://qlc.sourceforge.net/development.shtml

    For QLC+ you just need to add libmad-dev and libsndfile-dev
    Otherwise if you contact me on my email address I will see what I can do in my spare time.

    Always willing to help.

    Hi Massimo,

    no need to waste your spare time, I managed it to compile it and it works fine.

    One idea at this moment:
    The icons we use for the dark background is the original iconset, only reworked a little from a professional grafic-designer (a good friend of mine) to fit the needs of the dark background and/or visibly impaired people.

    While testing the icons I noticed, there is only a little "fine-tuning" necessary and we can have a icon-set which is accesible even ond light backgrounds as also on dark backgrounds.

    If you're interested in this I could initiate work session with my friend to find the best look of the icons for "both worlds".

    Hope you understand my "excellent" english ;-)
    For questions even free feel to contact me via my private email address.

    Regards Bernd
