All 'native' (default) icons in the desktop app have this nice behaviour: their colors are being toggled when hovered upon using the cursor.

2 things happen (that are maybe just 1):

1. The background of the icon change its color.
2. The drawing in icon change to white

For example:

Is this behaviour can be replicated in the ACTION SET assigned icon? If so, how?

Hi erangr,

I dont believe it possible to have this functionality with an added image for Action icon.

It will be limited by the specified image itself and lose this 'nice behavior' as a result.

I wonder though if other implementers have made this work as there is definitely many using the custom icon for actions.

Hi sclow,

Thank you for the answer. Do you think this functionality is not possible due to special implementation of the 'native' icons? If not, maybe a correct set of image properties could do the effect, don't you think?

I found out that using a a PNG format - which supports transparency - yields some of the effect: it changes the color of the transparent part of icon to 'blend' with the bluish background color toggled. Nonetheless, I don't know how to do the 'opposite color toggling' like in the 'native' icons.

Hi erangr,

I dont believe there is special implementation of the native icons here.

What I meant in my earlier response is precisely what you've shown here.

The specified image and its properties for the icon will dictate and can limit how it behaves.

Given an image format to allow for this it should then respond to the .css settings.

I'm not certain how to apply the 'opposite color toggling', but it is something I can look into.
