I don't think it is a recommended/allowed practice to use Coral icons for non-Adobe projects (which I suspect is the majority of the cases for this lazybones template, although certainly it is used by, among others, me, to generate Adobe-branded icons).
Are you thinking that the template lets you select amongst these three choices? Or provide a custom one? Or both?
@justinedelson ah - i thought CUI icons could be used as part of Adobe projects. I can look around for an open source icon set w/ a similar aesthetic.
The initial thought was having a single default thumbnail (for simplicity more than anything), but i suppose there could be a input that allows icon selection. IMO the value is the readily identifiable visual in package manager, and differentiating my packages from product packages.
A convo for a different thread, but we should figure out if the CUI icon restrictions requires a re-work of the ACS Commons ACL Packager icons which are CUI based.
I'm more concerned about actual customers using this template to create their packages. In that case, if I'm a developer at FunCo, it wouldn't make sense to use a CUI icon. I want to use a FunCo icon :)
Maybe the answer is to make the default icon for lazybones-generated projects this image: http://lazybonessmokehouse.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/logo.png
I'm sure if we asked nicely, they'd let us use it :)
Out of sight, out of mind. Having a generic pulls in into mind, and (as noted in value prop 2 above) makes it trivial to update the icon to a FunCo logo (the hardest part is finding a 64x64 FunCo logo).
IMO the the package icons ordered best to worst are:
1) A FunCo icon 2) A generic icon that is NOT the default blue cube (Dont care what it is, ideally invokes some sense of an application) 3) The default blue cube
Found the perfect one!
WDYT about including a "custom" package icon for lazybone generated apps? This has 2 advantages: 1) Helps quickly visually identify your app packages in package manager (since pretty much everything uses the default package icon) 2) Makes it trivial to update the thumbnail to a project specific image; swap out the

and you dont have to worry about the maven configs.I made 3 simple options if any suit your fancy. Im partial to the paper airplane, but I like a but of whimsy in my tech too.
If there are icons for the CoralUI set [1] that would work better, just let me know which and i can generate a new icon super quick.
