radian icon #196

Open dschneiderch opened 4 years ago

dschneiderch commented 4 years ago

just a suggestion, it would great to have a square icon with a transparent background for tab identification. I set up a profile in windows Terminal specifically for radian but I just cropped your radian.png and setup the terminal to use it. Looks like radian.xcf is a gimp file but my gimp skills are nonexistent. the conda icon is distributed with conda in the base environment at "%USERPROFILE%/Miniconda3/Lib/site-packages/conda/shell/conda_icon.ico" when you install it so you could distribute a radian icon similarly.

loving radian - thanks so much for upgrading the lackluster R terminal experience!

Thanks for your words. Despite that, I love your idea, there are no official ways for python cli programs to ship with icons. By the way, your solution will set the icon for all python programs.

We will need to look for workarounds for each OS. Not sure if it is doable.

actually it will use the icon for any command I run in that tab, but the idea is that I only run radian in that tab. this is the same for the conda tab - I will see the conda icon even if i deactivate conda.

also forgot to mention, i installed radian in my base conda environment and I created a profile in WT so all I have to do is hit ctrl+shift+3 to open the new tab that activates conda and executes radian.
just guessing based on what I see here, if you distributed radian through conda-forge you could include an icon to any OS.
