On darker themes (e.g. modus-vivendi), the Customize SVG icons
(etc/images/right.svg and etc/images/down.svg) are not very visible, due
to the poor contrast between their fill color (#2e3436) and dark
backgrounds[1].
Empirically, AFAICT, the "nuclear" solution of removing "fill:#2e3436"
from the SVG files causes the icons to render with the foreground color
of the default face. That solves the contrast problem, but maybe a more
subtle solution could be devised?
Once the "fill:…" bit is removed, it becomes possible to change the SVG
image's color, either when calling create-image[2], or by applying
faces[3].
A quick dive into widget-create-child-and-convert (down to
widget-image-insert) suggests that there's no way to tell widget.el to
slap a face onto an image; perhaps a new keyword could be added to that
effect?
Then we could add a face that (1) could preserve the original color
(#2e3436) for light backgrounds (2) be set to something more reasonable
for dark backgrounds (3) be themed.
I wouldn't mind working on that (time permitting); I'd like to collect
some feedback first to make sure what I suggest is the right approach;
maybe there are better solutions I haven't considered.
Thanks for your time.
