Icon more in style with gnome symbolic icons
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Hello and thank you for the extension! I've replaced your provided icons with two symbolic icons more in style with gnome symbolic icons. Would you be interested in a contribution? Of course, you might have reasons for using your icons and I respect that. But I thought I'd ask.... It's the one on the left in the screenshots. I'm also attachind them to this post in case you want them. Feel free to close otherwise.
Hm! I like them! They are clearly more in style with the others, although I personally prefer the touch of color... but I understand this is clearly better from a graphical point of view.
But yes, I'll add them. Would you like to make a PR? Do you prefer I do the thing (will obviously attribute it correctly 😉)
(Can also add your icons and modify them with the red/green thing, and add an option defaulting to yours...)
Thnaks!
BTW, probably my lack of knowledge --- opening the icons in Inkscape, they are basically invisible (they have no stroke paint defined). I suppose that is normal and made to avoid overriding the user's color scheme, but... ¿could you give a hint on how to edit/play with them? Or a link on how to draw icons for Gnome?
Never mind, I did it ;-).
Hello! Sorry for the late response, I'm traveling Asia currently and not opening my laptop every day.
First of all thanks for accepting the icons :) I've updated your extension just now and it seems to work nicely!
Secondly, I have never contributed like this to an extension (or other project on github) so even if I'd to do it via a PR, I'll first need to find out how to do that (for possible future contributions, since now you've done all the work).
Then to your question about drawing the icons - what I do is to make a screenshot of an existing symbolic icon in the panel, then put it in Figma (or well Inkscape) make a frame of 16x16 px and draw the shapes with rounded corners so that it visually aligns with the screenshot I took as reference, leaving a gap of free space around them. In this case, I took a square of 12x12 px as a base + the stroke. Not really a proper guide I know, but it works :)
