New Black icons in LC 8 DP 14 - hacked
The latest Developer Preview of Livecode 8.0 features a new set of Black icons in the revMenuBar stack.
Personally, while I think they are quite an improvement on the kiddy-candy icons we have got used to from about version 2.0 onwards
I much prefer a dark menuBar with white icons.
So here's a stack to switch things around.
This is completely non-destructive, even if only because Livecode 8.0 is so designed that one cannot make modifications 'stick'.

Thanks Richmond
But on a freshly installed LC 8 DP14 on OSX clicking on "Turn the Tools Palette black" I get:
Error: button "Turn the Tools Palette black" : execution error at line 2 (Chunk: can't find card), char 1
The Menubar buttons work fine ?!
Cheers

Found the problem the ID of my card was 1126
-> set the backGroundColor of card ID 1126 of stack "revTools" to "black"
fixed the problem !

Agreed. If anything v8 is more hackable than ever.livecodeali wrote:Looks good Richmond.

It was never a good idea to directly modify IDE objects directly, if for no other reason than the value of one's own time: with the very next update any changes would be lost.
IDE hacks are best applied as scripts that modify IDE elements, so the script can be run on startup with a plugin and as such will survive between updates.
If one really needs/wants to modify the IDE directly, revMenuBar and other components are script-only stacks, easier to edit than ever before.

Here's an improved version that will work out the card numbers of your palette stacks

This one mucks around with the widget icons as well.

Re: New Black icons in LC 8 DP 14 - hacked
Some people are objecting to the new B&W icons in favour of the previous, multicoloured ones.
The way to recover the coloured icons is to swap out my 'images' folder with the icons supplied with DP 15 here:
.runrev/components/livecodecommunity-8.0.0-dp-15.x86_64/Toolset/palettes/menubar/

- Sorry about .7z rather than .zip; but I needed .7z to compress the folder sufficiently for the Forum to accept it.
