the rest of the buttons can have colors too for better visibility and recognition.

    I think this should be an option for users to customize the look and feel of the program. Rather than having them be forced into a theme/color scheme that isn't patterned elsewhere in the OS. With the button coloring option on, I could see the buttons being colored to match the chosen system accent color, and multi purpose buttons changing based on their current function.

    Could you make a recommendation for an icon set that is free for an open source project to use? One which matches the style you desire.

    It's easiest for us to use the existing font icons provided by the framework. These match with the modern design language of the program best out-of-the-box. @0xf005ba11 and myself are primarily kernel engineers, that's to say our "sense of design" is lacking 😉. That said, I'd welcome an icon set from the community that matches the modern design goals of the project.

    In my experience finding one icon that is license free is a pain, let alone a set that share a common theme. Perhaps there is a resource out there that I'm not familiar with.

    Color is possible on the current font icons, I believe. But that's what I recommended in the first option. I think maybe we spoke past one another. Or I did a poor job at conveying my thoughts.

    I'll try some color adjustments when I have time and post a screenshot here for your input.

    Here is the first pass, I don't really like how this is at the moment, but to give you an idea:
