i see icons included as build input here (gnome.adwaita-icon-theme
)
I don't think this is related, adwaita-icon-theme
seems to only contains icons like "new file", "new folder" etc, not application-related icons.
might it be this just uses system icons?
Well each software installs the icons when they get install. I do believe it is obtained using the above AppStream stuff
hm, as an app store it shows applications that have not yet been installed too right?
Sure, that's precisely why we can't rely on system-installed icons
hm, i was under the impression installed icon packs may well include icons for a bunch of applications not necessarily restrained to applications that have been installed. personally, as a user i tried installing such a pack i found pretty, meaning i would actually prefer for it to be used.
Well, I guess custom icon themes are ignored by this program, but to be honest I have no idea. In any case, even if the icon does not follow the theme, it will only be show in nix-software-center, but after installation, you will of course see the custom theme in your desktop list of applications etc. If you still want to use your theme icon pack for nix-software-center, I guess you want to fill a separate bug.
Thanks again for this nice software. Surprisingly, some icons/screenshots of famous softwares are not displayed, in my case firefox and chromium have no icons:
Also I'm curious, how are icons/screenshots even obtained? Might interest also https://github.com/snowfallorg/nix-software-center/issues/53
Edit: so it seems icons are obtained via this format https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Distributions/AppStream/, I guess downloaded from https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/releases/
