Modernizing graphics

Open tansiret opened this issue 4 years ago • 8 comments

I think LeoCAD is like a great book with an old cover. Its an amazing lego cad software with relevant pieces thanks to LDraw yet its UI and overall design looks old.

TODO: Logo, project website, UI and icons of the app should be remade or improved.

@yutyo how are those more modern than the current icon?

cleaner and simpler aesthetic...

Why does that make it more modern? When I look up the icons for Windows 11, KDE Breeze, and others, I see icons with a little bit of shading that use subtle differences in contrast to define shape. They sometimes have very very thin outlines (1 pixel wide, usually very faint so probably meant to be perceived as more like a fourth of a pixel wide), but I also see some without any outlines. Often they'll have a drop-shadow instead of an outline, it seems.

LeoCAD is hands down the best building tool for LEGO there is or was - I don't care what cover it comes in!
