Add Colored Icon Support - Inspired by #22 #24

Closed heliguy4599 closed 1 year ago

heliguy4599 commented 1 year ago

In issue #22 the feature request to add colored icon support featuring Amy's Adwaita Color's icon pack. This PR adds the support for those to be enabled from your extension. This is acchieved by the following:

A new settings schemea for this extension is made called "theme-icons" of type boolean
The individual icon themes are stored as tar.gz files within the resources/<selected color> directory
The selected accent color is then unzipped to the ~/.local/share/icons/ folder
A Gio.Settings object is made to apply the org.gnome.desktop.interface icon-theme: custom-icon-colors icon theme
If default or blue is selected, or if the Theme Icons switch or extension is turned off, that gsetting is set back to "Adwaita" returning the theme to default

I've tested this on GNOME 45 via openSUSE Tumbleweed.

I've matched your coding and naming styles so that it should be easy to follow along with what has changed. I'm willing to make any changes you deem necessary and really hope this feature can be added! Thank you for an amazing extension!

Just saying, but if this gets merged, Am I allowed to submit it to This week in GNOME?

demetrisk03 commented 1 year ago

hey @heliguy4599, thanks for the pr! :) I don't have access to my main laptop at the moment, but I'll try to test it as soon as I can. I didn't notice any major issues at first glance, I'll make a comment here when I'm able to test everything.

demetrisk03 commented 1 year ago

@AtiusAmy of course, feel free to post it! :) But I suggest waiting until the new version of the extension (v10) with this PR is officially released on the gnome extensions website, so people can actually use the new feature after reading your post.

heliguy4599 commented 1 year ago

Alright that's awesome! I look forward to hearing about it. And no problem for the PR, it was a fun task to work on :)

demetrisk03 commented 1 year ago

apart from those 2 minor issues everything else is fine :)

demetrisk03 commented 1 year ago

@heliguy4599 thanks! :) I'll test everything in a vm as soon as I can.

heliguy4599 commented 1 year ago

Awesome! Can't wait!

demetrisk03 commented 1 year ago

I would like to know why the changes were reverted and are not available in the latest version

Maybe because i abandoned the project, im sorry but i really not have the energy for the Linux community rn, just not a fun place to be around...

demetrisk03 commented 6 months ago

hey @antos07, the colored icons support never got into the extensions.gnome.org version of the extension because the filesize of the extension with all the extra icon packs was too big, so when the icon pack was discontinued I decided to remove the feature, an older version of the extension with the colored icons support is still in the repo in a separate branch but it's a lot of commits behind the main branch by now.
