Overview

Set up the infrastructure to support custom Catppuccin Mocha themed icons that override the default FreeCAD icons.

Goals

  1. Create a kindred-icons/ directory structure for custom icons
  2. Configure FreeCAD's icon search path to prioritize custom icons
  3. Establish the icon naming convention that matches FreeCAD's expectations
  4. Document the override mechanism for future icon additions

Technical Approach

  • Use FreeCAD's BitmapFactory search path system
  • Add custom icon path via User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Bitmaps
  • Icons in kindred-icons/ will be loaded before compiled resources

Icon Design Standards

All Kindred Create icons must follow these guidelines:

  • ViewBox: 32x32
  • Background: Rounded rectangle (rx=4) with surface0 color (#313244)
  • Stroke width: 1.5-2.5 for main elements
  • Colors: Catppuccin Mocha palette only
  • Style: Flat, minimal, geometric shapes

Acceptance Criteria

  • kindred-icons/ directory created with proper structure
  • Icon search path configured to load custom icons first
  • Test icon override working (e.g., document-save.svg)
  • Documentation added for adding new icons
