Symlink "locked" icon #18

Closed cassidyjames closed 5 years ago

cassidyjames commented 6 years ago

We use a locked icon in the installer overlaid on a drive for drive encryption. There may be a better namespace—though nothing was obvious from the icon naming spec. We could use something like dialog-password if @danrabbit is okay with the semantic change, but I think a "locked" metaphor is more accurate than a "password" metaphor.

Right now in Pop! the locked icon falls back to a GNOME-style icon. In Pop! we could just symlink to one of the existing lock icons.

Welp, we changed to using the FD.o security-high in the installer which also works well in Pop!

It might still be worth symlinking, but it's less of a big deal now.

I imagine this will move to an image that Kate creates matching the rest of the Pop installer artwork.

Yeah, I had mentioned that in Slack, but using more standardized icon names in both the installer and our icon theme is a good goal.

cassidyjames commented 6 years ago

While this doesn't affect the installer directly, a symlink is probably still a good idea for apps that are requesting a locked icon.
