Sorry for asking about this in a github issue, but I didn't see an any form of contact on your github account.

I went ahead and made a few icons because applications I use frequently weren't supported. I'll upload them here but I don't know if they're good enough to be included :P

youtube-music-desktop youtube prism-launcher

Readf0x commented 1 year ago

forgot to mention, the applications here are ytmdesktop (app.ytmdesktop.ytmdesktop) a generic youtube icon for pwas, and prism launcher (org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher)

I have now also made icons for the pop shop and notable! notable pop-shop took me forever to find the pop shop's icon name, but it's apparently based on the app store from elementary.

Hey @Readf0x, Sure, I will take a look and include them in the pack :wink: Thanks for contributing !!

alvatip commented 12 months ago

Just a few questions :stuck_out_tongue:

edit: to find most of the icon names easily, I run these two commands in my terminal cd /usr/share/applications/ grep -e "^Icon=.*nameoftheapp.* * where nameofthe app is the name (or part of the name) of the application. e.g. for Firefox, I would try 'firefox' or 'irefox' (in case the first letter is uppercase) image

OMG thank you, I didn't know grep could be used to search inside files! The first icon is ytmdesktop, a standalone desktop app for YT Music. The name of the flatpak is app.ytmdesktop.ytmdesktop I'll be back at my pc in a few minutes, so I'll figure out what pop shop and notable are called then.

Notable's icon is simply just notable and the POP!_Shop is io.elementary.appcenter.

I would like to know how I should submit icons in the future though?

Thanks, I added them to the theme and will commit it shortly :wink:

To submit icon, the easiest way is to create a pull request (see this page for more details on how to submit a pull request)

For the creation of icons, there are some blank templates in tools/templates and color palettes in tools/palettesthat can help you.

Once your icon is created, you name it and place it in src/apps/scalable.

If the app as several possible names (ex: for Firefox, the app will use firefox (if installed through repo) or org.mozilla.firefox if installed through flatpak), you will need to create symbolic links in links/apps/scalable pointing to the icon in src/apps/scalable. So for Firefox which has at least 2 names, I will have an SVG icon named 'firefox.svg' in src/apps/scalable then I will create a symbolic link in links/apps/scalable named org.mozilla.firefox.svg

To create the symbolic link, I use the following command: cd src/apps/scalable (just 'cd' into the directory src/apps/scalable) ln -s firefox.svg ../../../links/apps/scalable/org.mozilla.firefox.svg (create the symlink with other name used by the app)

I hope all is clear, if not don't hesitate to ask further question, or create a first pull request and if there are mistakes we can correct them :wink:

Thanks! I didn't know about the palettes or templates, so that'll be a huge help in the future! I do know how to make symlinks, and btw if you use nautilus as your file manager, it has a shortcut to make symlinks built in. It's in the context menu. The shortcut is Shift + Ctrl + M by default.

I'll be closing the issue now, since everything seems to have been resolved. Thanks for your time!
