[question] How to make my own variation of audio-x-generic.svg icon? #3708

Closed MrComexs closed 2 months ago

MrComexs commented 2 months ago

I want to make different variations for my most common used audio formats. examples wav, flac ,mp3, wv, and opus. Is it possible to use a hex color for example #618ECE as the starting base color then it spits out a variant base on that color or is it only work when generics colors like blue, green , red and others.

may i ask if you want this change to be incorporated into Papirus? Audio mimetype colours were established years ago, in #580

No, that was not my intention.

Audio mimetype colours were established years ago, in https://github.com/PapirusDevelopmentTeam/papirus-icon-theme/issues/580

I felt that unrelated topic to my question.

I just want to know how too generate my own icon based on the audio-x-generic.svg like the flac icon is green but I want to generate a bunch of different colors so that I can make my file icons for each of the audio codecs that I listed before.

well, you can just change the colours inside the .svg file with a text editor. i don't see how you would 'generate' them. why not do it manually?

is your intention to make your own version of Papirus with new coloured audio mimetype icons? and to do it automatically? i don't see how this is an icon request.

I thought the colors schemes where generated mathematically based on a base color but I it seems that I was wrong.

No.

i don't see how this is an icon request.

I there was only two options, bug and icon request. I think icon request made more sense and I also didn't want to make it seem urgent. If there was a option for question then I would have used it but I think those assigned manually.
