Allow SVG icon colors to be controlled in QGIS

[josephholler]

If the repository owners are interested, you can try replacing all instances of fill="none" in the SVG files with fill="param(fill)" in the Maki icons allowing the icon color to be controlled with the fill color option in the QGIS Symbol Selector.

For example, I've done this for the Maki icons here: https://github.com/GIS4DEV/maki

A slightly different replacement would be needed for icons in the gis_lab set.

This way, the icons can be styled with any color, rather than just black.

Made a script to convert svg to controlable ones, may still need minor tweaks to handle canses where the primary color isn't black, shouldn't be too hard to tweak.

Hi!

The icons in different collection have different quality and purpose. There is no reason to make changeable colourful icons like “road_signs”. „gis_lab” icons are a bit messy. So I make a bash script only for „all_maki_icons”. «sed» can be used to reach this goal.

colourful_qgis_icons.sh.txt

Three sets of icons are created with this script.

Background is not visible. You can change the symbol fill and outline colour. The fill colour may be even completely transparent.

The outline colour is used for symbol.

The outline colour is used for background.

I hope someone will find this useful.

Hi!

I have created a 'perl' script to adopt SVG format images for using as 'QGIS' icons:
