Move pixmaps icons to hicolor #418

Closed fossfreedom closed 2 years ago

fossfreedom commented 2 years ago

Packaging guidelines state that icons that an app uses should not be saved in /usr/share/pixmaps - instead they should be installed in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/%{size}/apps/. This avoids an accidental upscaling of icons.

https://wiki.debian.org/AppStream/Guidelines

We should look to follow these guidelines which means

  1. ensuring the icons are of known standard sizes such as 64x64 / 32x32 etc
  2. meson.build should save those icons into the appropriate hicolor folder

@fossfreedom Most of the icons (if not all) are symbolic/vector icons. We can't convert them to fixed sized, pixel-icons without creating issues with theming and losing quality?

they would go in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/
