@windowsrefund I understand why the theme is designed with transparent icons.
In fact you know that I love the sober and elegant feeling that "grayscale" transmits.

However, it seems excessive to me to remove the icons from the toolbars:
- File
- Edit
- Track
- View

The reason is simple. If someone doesn't want to see those bars, they can simply hide them.

But if someone comes new and starts trying out themes, they will think 2 things, either the theme is broken, or Qtractor is.

In fact, in my distribution of your theme I will include a folder called "NoDistraction" inside the images folder that contains the transparent icons.
And in the README.md I will include the explanation of why my distribution differs from the original, and how to activate this "NoDistraction" option (copy to "images" those that find it annoying).

I think it would also be best for the official "grayscale" version... but in that case it's up to you to decide which creative freedom you want to be, which I respect.

Yea, that's totally cool. I'll certainly take a fresh look of your spin-off as well in order to see exactly what you mean. I tend to be very minimal and have been known to go to the extremes from time to time :D.
