Update Firefox icon

[pieterdd]

The last iteration of this Numix icon dates from 2016, so given the design changes to Firefox' branding over the last few years I thought I'd tweak this one a bit.

Original icon	Circle icon	Square icon
		I will make this one when the circle version requires no further changes

Here's a first iteration. I'm not sure why I'm seeing some downsampling artifacts in my PNG render. GitHub's rich diff of the modified SVG looks normal to me.

Something among these lines?

Issue #4998

[pieterdd]

Okay. So should it be https://github.com/numixproject/numix-core/issues/4998#issuecomment-604796398 except with a shadow of the fox onto the marble?

[palob]

Yes, you can start from the latest state in that issue.

[pieterdd]

Alright, here we go:

[pieterdd]

Just noticed that the export left some unnecessary metadata in the SVGs (like the original filename) for the circle file. I probably hit Save again after already having written the Optimized SVG version, nothing big.

[pieterdd]

Fixed.

Would you perhaps be willing to amend these changes to the commit yourself? I think you're the most qualified person to get it to look exactly the way you want, and it's probably faster than coaching me to execute your vision. I have enabled the 'Allow edits by maintainers' option.

Regardless, thanks for the insight into your creative process.

[palob]

Alright, I can take care of this, I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment though.

[pieterdd]

No worries, it's not urgent. When you do, feel free to add yourself as a co-author to the commit if you'd like to be credited.

[palob]

I'm working on this, might be ready this week.

[palob]

This is the current state. Inserted two extra path so the colour clashes aren't that hard without gradients. Colours and one or two curvatures might need tweaking, maybe the extra tail path isn't needed.

[palob]

Here's what it looks like with a gradient on the globe.

[maxtron95]

Wow, the new icon is way better than what I had proposed before.

[palob]

Pushed these (w/o globe gradient)

[palob]

If this is approved of I will redo the others (aurora, beta,...) as well.

[pieterdd]

Well, you certainly have my vote 😉 If you guys have a strong opinion about keeping the commit history clean, I suppose we could squash both commits into one now. Let me know if you'd like me to step in for that.

Either way, I'm happy to see that an updated Firefox icon is bound to arrive on my computer sometime soon!

[pieterdd]

What's the next step towards shipping a nice new Firefox icon? Are there still any changes needed?

[palob]

Waiting for a review from @Foggalong, merging a few more PRs and tagging new releases for Circle/Square.

[Foggalong]

Great work both! Updated the four non-branded accounts to use this style too, but if anyone wants to weak them further go for it; I just riffed on the colour scheme each was using before.

[palob]

Hats off for the recolours! I can look into this again, the upstream colour schemes might have changed.

[dvorapa]

Oh my god, this was merged one hour after the last release of numix-icon-theme-circle was published. What a miss!

[Foggalong]

@dvorapa If you means the PPA/AUR/other community repo then don't worry, the next release (shortly!) will contain this!

[msevilla00]

@dvorapa I've just upgraded my system (Ubuntu 20.04) and I got the new icon. Cheers!

[Foggalong]

No problem at all!

[dvorapa]

I know, I just noticed how unlucky coincidence it was, as I'm waiting for a design update of this particular icon for a while now :D Anyway I really don't mind waiting for good stuff and have to say this icon pack is my all time favourite since I first installed Apricity Linux in 2015 I think!
