Replaced icons #270

Closed t0msk closed 5 months ago

t0msk commented 5 months ago

Hello, I dont know here to ask so I ask here,

icons are located in betterbird/chrome/icons/default/default.svg and betterbird/chrome/icons/default/newmail.svg, I changed it, several days ago I updated betterbird and icons were replaced to original state, so it looks like that new version will replace custom icons, so I wonder if there is any solution to keep custom icons during update :)

Thank you

The quick answer is: Use Windows ;-)

On Windows, the icons are resources within the executable, and the icons in the directory you mentioned are not replaced upon update. They override the ones in the binary.

On Linux, the icons are installed each time. We suggest you use a script that puts the icons you want back. Not ideal, but also not a big overhead every 2 or 4 weeks.

"use Windows" is no go :D but thanks, I will create some script for it :)
