Some general thoughts about the current icons are below. Mostly about making them simpler and more uniform, the general designs look fine to me.

• playing card icon should be a single rectangular card for simplicity
• the big F icon doesn't match the other circle sizes
• shuttle icon looks too complicated with that folded middle section (can simplify without removing the fold)
• simple steam icon should already exist and should be used for the steam chat icon
• MyBoy and the ISS icon are too complicated but I have no clue how to make them simpler
• punch out the circle in the spaceship icon
• unwrap the inner objects in the files and Cronograma icons (the cronograma icon can remove the border circle for example)

Thanks for ideas and hints.

• [x] playing card icon should be a single rectangular card for simplicity

• [x] the big F icon doesn't match the other circle sizes

• [x] shuttle icon looks too complicated with that folded middle section (can simplify without removing the fold)

• [x] simple steam icon should already exist and should be used for the steam chat icon

• [x] MyBoy icon are too complicated

• tried a drastic version

• [x] ISS icon are too complicated

• [x] punch out the circle in the spaceship icon

• [x] unwrap the inner objects in the files and Cronograma icons (the cronograma icon can remove the border circle for example)

• uncircled the cronograma icon, and will see what can be unwrapped next.

Another quick mention, I would use an existing settings icon for the AutoTools icon, and figure out a way to increase the outline for the wrench tool. It's too thin right now and won't show up on low DPI screens.

Ok, thanks for the hint. I will try this. I will also redo Rail planner and Helm Sync which are similar with thin lines.

There are now two apps named 'Shopping List' they seem to be different apps which may be installed alongside. I renamed the one from secuso. And the question is a little bit about naming... are dashes allowed, like 'shopping-list'? Would an name like 'secusoshoppinglist' be better?

[dkanada]

I don't believe dashes are allowed so secusoshoppinglist would be best.

Done.

Wow you are really going through a lot of the requests :smile: I have a few comments, but at this point all of the icons can be merged, I'm just commenting on things that could be improved.

• HelmSync looks a bit larger than the other circles
• CircuitTrainer could maybe utilize one of the existing clock or person icons to better match the rest of the pack
• BoxCryptor might look good with less parts and larger gaps between them (maybe a lock icon somewhere)
• BiglyBT could somehow be simplified (the inner left curve also doesn't look entirely parallel)

If you'd rather merge this as is though, I will be sure this gets in the next release.

It's a fun way to spend time ;) while finally gaining inkscape-skills.

* HelmSync looks a bit larger than the other circles

I'm not completly happy with Helm/HelmSync but i have not figured out how to really improve it. It only looks bigger, and it is actually a few picopixel smaller.

Good ideas, thanks for that. I will put it in my tasklist for rework.

I have no clear preference about the time of merge. Would be happy to see some soon, but no hurry about that. I take this as a moment for kind of feature freeze and looking at the issues.
