Kirby SVG Preview
=================

[](#kirby-svg-preview)

Renders SVG files inline in the Kirby Panel so `currentColor` paths follow the panel text colour instead of disappearing into the dark frame. Adds `viewBox` and `currentColor` rows to the file detail metadata, and exposes CSS variables for colour and padding.

Without this plugin, SVGs render via ``, which doesn't propagate `color` into the SVG document, making `currentColor` paths fall back to the SVG's own default (black) and become invisible against the Panel's chequered frame (almost black).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

### Composer

[](#composer)

```
composer require medienbaecker/kirby-svg-preview
```

### Manual

[](#manual)

Download and copy this repository to `/site/plugins/kirby-svg-preview`.

What it does
------------

[](#what-it-does)

### File view

[](#file-view)

The file detail view inlines the SVG and adds two SVG-specific rows to the metadata: the `viewBox` and whether the file uses `currentColor`.

### Files sections/fields

[](#files-sectionsfields)

Thumbnails in `files` sections and fields render inline, so `currentColor` paths follow the surrounding text colour instead of disappearing into the dark frame.

### Structure/object field

[](#structureobject-field)

Structure and object fields use the same underlying image components.

### Upload dialog

[](#upload-dialog)

The same inline rendering applies during upload, so you see the final colour before the file is saved.

### Customisation

[](#customisation)

Two CSS variables let you tune the previews:

```
:root {
  --k-svg-preview-padding: 20%; /* default */
  --k-svg-preview-color: var(--color-white); /* default */
}
```

Override them in your panel CSS (set via the [`panel.css`](https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/system/options/panel#custom-panel-css) config option) globally or scope them under any selector — e.g. `.k-svg-file-preview { --k-svg-preview-padding: 5%; }` to give the detail view less padding than the small thumbnails. SVGs with hardcoded fills keep their own colours; only `currentColor` paths respond to `--k-svg-preview-color`.
