• I'm sure this issue is not a duplicate.

• I'm submitting an icon request:

• Language Extensions: pl, pm, t

• More info: The icon is too dark for for a dark theme

@JimiC Maybe we could provide a light version for the Perl Camel but use some kind of light colour and not just a slight white gray.

[JimiC]

That's the official color. Does it have also a light version?

[KingDarBoja]

@JimiC Not sure as the Camel is a trademark of O'Reilly in association with Perl.

Source: The Perl Camel

I don't see anything that block us to provide a light version as long as we respect the trademark guidelines:

"Color guidelines: The details and outlines of the animals always appear darker than
the background color, i.e., they may not be reversed. If they are to appear on a dark
color, they may be masked precisely with white, with the animal graphic overlaid in a
darker color. Any use of the animals in colors other than their appearance on the
book covers must be approved in advance by O’Reilly Media, Inc."

@KingDarBoja That are good news, I will be looking forward for the new icon :-)

[JimiC]

Read the guidelines again. The animal color has to be always dark even in dark themes.

If they are to appear on a dark color, they may be masked precisely with white, with the animal graphic overlaid in a darker color.

Maybe it's best to get away from the camel icon and use a literal perl icon.

[carlosfrodriguez]

@JimiC That would be also acceptable, to have the onion icon instead of the camel

[JimiC]

Onion icon is already supported. You only need to enable it.

@JimiC I will try, let me read how to do it, but from https://github.com/vscode-icons/vscode-icons/wiki/ListOfFiles , it also looks very dark.

[carlosfrodriguez]

@JimiC I was able to test it and yes it look better, but sill too dark, if a lighter version could be added it will be great

[JimiC]

As I said we can't deviate from official guidelines. Your only option is to use the customization feature and use your own icon.

[KingDarBoja]

Read the guidelines again. The animal color has to be always dark even in dark themes.

If they are to appear on a dark color, they may be masked precisely with white, with the animal graphic overlaid in a darker color.

With mask they refer to add a outline to the logo or what? Because that's what I have on mind.

UPDATE
A subtle change as the icon already has an outline path. However the final result is not what I expected.

So I went with my own outline and got my desired effect:
