Created a symbolic link for OpenRGB #86

Just a small comment, but when creating symlinks, avoid making absolute links (aka: /home/maeve/Source/Repositories/GitHub/MolassesLover/Nordzy/src/apps/scalable/openrgb.svg) since it is very unlikely anyone will have the same directories and structure as you on their computer. I usually create them using the terminal and when in the src/apps/scalable/ directory I use ln -s openrgb.svg ../../../links/apps/scalable/OpenRGB.svg. This way, OpenRGB.svg points to a file name openrgb.svg in the same directory. If you look at the file in links/apps/scalable/ you will see that there are only broken links (make sense since all the original icons are in src/apps/scalable) but during the installation process, all links are moved to the same directory as the icons and links are fine then

edit: Not sure that my explanation are good, if this is not the case just comment, I surely can explain it in a better way :smile:

My bad! I was using Nautilus, and expected it to use soft links. Next time I'll just use ln -s

No worries, I also made mistakes at the beginning :wink:
