Formatting SVGs

Not too versed on graphics formats but are .svg files supposed to only be a black path? The reason I ask is because only the black svgs show up as a button image - if I change the black to white in photoshop and re-export as an .svg, it doesn’t show up.

If this is the case, is there a way to alter the color of the .svg within Cabbage? Or does it have to follow a particular export format? Any suggested tools for editing them?

I use Adobe XD to create vector graphics, convert them to paths there and export as .svg. It’s a free tool, and pretty great for making simple UI stuff

Ah - cool. Thanks for the tip!

Inkscape is great. I also use Figma more and more these days. Just remember that any kind of fancy SVG effects won’t work in Cabbage as the JUCE SVG parser is pretty minimal.

Cool, thanks…
