Icon color differences

Closed this issue a year ago · 5 comments

Glider's icon used to be yellow/orange, and is still that way on the webpages of the play store and F-droid. But during package install, and once installed the icon is now black.

Which one's the right color, and should this be fixed on the different places?
Also, it might be nice setting that icon on this repository too.

The icon is supposed to be white on yellow/orange (unless using the themed icons feature on newer Android versions).

Can you check if the same occurs in v2.2.0, available here or whenever it has finished processing at Google Play or F-Droid? Otherwise please share a screenshot, as I'm unable to reproduce the issue on my configurations.

I'll try to check once 2.2 is made available, while waiting for it, here are the screenshots about how it appears:

This started with version 2.0 as before it was red icon everywhere. F-droid website also have the yellow icon. I guess Play-store too, so it's mostly about the icon used by the system (Android Oreo, 8.0).

Also, as suggested, the yellow icon would be nice to set on this repository, rather than your personal generated gravatar :)

EDIT: Forgot to add this in screenshots, but icon in the app drawer/home is also black.

2.2 just hit F-droid, icon looks back to an orange one everywhere I looked. Dunno what got this icon to be black and maybe smaller in this place from 2.0 to 2.1.

Closing; the same icon on the repo would still be nice though :)

Good to hear. ff4040c probably fixed it. The PNG optimizer messed up initially.

As for the repository icon, I don't think I can actually set one. The icon shown is just the user's profile picture.

Damn. By the look of it I thought it was possible to set one. I guess this was first thought for organizations: I checked some and for them as organizations have an icon, it uses that one. Guess I had that in mind.

By checking this, I even noticed that the place with the icon I'm talking about only exists if you're logged into your GitHub account, otherwise the presentation is different and that zone doesn't event exist.
