[Suggestion] replace "currentColor" with a color, any color, but a color

Open bernaferrari opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

When using Pixelmator Pro, I need to open Feather SVG files and replace currentColor with #000000. When developing to Android and converting SVG to Vector Drawables I need to do the same thing, else the tools won't work. I know it isn't a huge deal, there are scripts to automate and etc, but should them be necessary? This is the only icon pack I know that does this.

It doesn't matter what I'm doing, the currentColor attr is always making me loose time. Therefore, I have a request, can't we replace all of them with a color, any color? #000000, for example. Would solve all my issues.

Thanks for opening this issue, @bernaferrari. I’m planning to add controls that will allow you to customize properties (like color and stroke width) from the website before downloading. This will hopefully address the issues you’ve been having 😸

Thanks (didn't realise there were a repo for the website! BTW I loved the dark mode!)! I would suggest keeping the default dark/white, and if someone wants, toggle to use the "current color".

Unrelated, but there are a large number of open PR in Feather. May I ask why you haven't approved them? I've always been curious - and even thought for instance you abandoned the project, but the website getting dark mode shows otherwise.

Since I don’t want to compromise the quality of the icon set, I like to thoroughly review each icon before adding it. And unfortunately, between school and work, I don’t have a lot of free time to review the overwhelming number of pull requests opened on Feather.

It looks like feathericons.com doesn’t currently persist input settings to local storage.

I can make sure to support local storage and have the reset button purge the cache so these kinds of issues don’t crop up for users in the future. 👍

My friend also noticed that the color input:

  • [ ] doesn’t respond to hex codes with an omitted # prefix
  • [ ] doesn’t use the HTML color input
