I would like to share with you that it’s possible to return back the old 2023 full-color icons for tools in SketchUp.
I am not sure why ‘modern’ software developers are loving the new fashion way of using flat and mono-color icons which are really difficult to use. I really don’t understand that fashion. At least they left the chance to return back the old ones.
You only need to get old icons from 2023 app, you need to locate the app, put Show Package Contents and copy .pdf files from /Resources folder to the same path to 2024 app and overwrite them all. That’s all. Easy.
It has long been the way with Mac to store resources such as cursors and icons outside the app and with Windows to bake them into the app. So, it is easier to tinker with a Mac app. One bonus from this that may go away when SketchUp is ported to Qt on Mac is that the nib (Nextstep interface builder) files that define much of the UI are also external resources that one can tweak if they know how.
Same problem with Sketchup 25 26 in Win11. Would be great to be able go back to the colored icons. I agree that it is much much easier and faster to use. The guys whom have decided this can’t be actual users…that’s why I keep my 2021 copy on my main computer and have been forced to go 25 on the new portable computer… but I really regret this(and also the fact that I can not redeem the licence of a broken computer)…
