Feature Request: Gsudo program icon to display in UAC?
e-t-l opened this issue · 11 comments
Description
I know this is a very low-priority request. It is kind of annoying/ugly to see the Windows generic program icon in the UAC prompt every time gsudo is run.
Proposed technical details
An icon just needs to be designed (or found, with the appropriate free usage license) and packaged as the gsudo.exe's icon resource. I have limited graphic design skills and could try making something; some other gsudo user might be able to do better. You may have some preferences or design ideas about what such an icon might look like (or you might prefer not to have one at all!)
Do you think you would you be interested in having an icon/logo to represent gsudo?
Hey! An icon is welcomed! I dont have graphic skills. Currently the web ( https://gerardog.github.io/gsudo )
shows a terrible red sharp as web icon: https://gerardog.github.io/gsudo/img/favicon.ico
Maybe we can put the red sharp in front of a shield? Or something else.
Feel free to paste ideas!
Thanks
Hello! I mocked something up real quick, is this close to what your looking for?
Heres the image by itself
Cheers,
I also like this one
logo by itself:
I settled on this iteration. its got got legibility at scale and i like the dark background with the red sharp hinting towards how it can look in the terminal.
Personally, I think it looks great. What does gerardog think? Have you opened a PR for this?
Hey, i love it, but i think that the outer border may look cooler in white or a more calm tone!
Share the source file so I can add it, or submit a PR. Thanks!
Not sure how to make a pr as this is my first contribution, I honestly prefer the red option provided as it has more personality and color harmony, but ive included the grey option if thats your preference. Ill learn how to submit PRs for next time 😅
You should be able to right click and save as svg :)
The bottom left one is a real sudo build, the others are just rough edited.
Win 11 default theme:
Win 10 dark:
React with a 🎉 for grey one
React with a 🚀 for red one
Or add a comment.
I like both.
I agree the gray is a more calm tone, but I actually think that having a brighter, more alarming red color is appropriate for a powerful program like Gsudo. To me, it emphasizes: "HEY! This program can majorly screw up your pc! Are you SURE you want to allow it?"
(small detail, but I personally think it looks cleaner without the medium-dark red accent stroke around the sharp symbol.)
