How to contribute

Thanks for your help in keeping this project up to date - it is very much appreciated!

Have a look at the Pending Distro additions for quickemu or browse through the Pull Requests yourself.

Here are some things to consider before filing a Pull Request.

Build dependencies

  • svgo (npm install -g svgo)
  • svgexport (npm install -g svgexport)

Requirements for distro icons

Once you found something to work on, make sure that the icon meets the following requirements:

  • Size: 512x512 pixels (potential background included)
  • Solid background: The icon should have a big non-transparent area. If it (1) consists mainly of thin lines (like Elementary, Linux Mint or Pop!_OS) or (2) encloses a transparent area (like NixOS, openSUSE), consider placing the icon in a white circle, or at least fill the enclosed area with a white background.

Please test if your icon works well in by running build.sh and checking if all looks good at build/(png|svg)/DISTRO.

Requirements for quickemu icons

Same as the above, but additionally:

  • Provide two versions:
    • *.svg (Full-size icon)
    • *-overlay.svg (to merge with the distro icons)
      • 512x512px canvas
      • Icon is at the bottom right
      • 155x155px circle around the icon (for nobg variants, draw a circle to align everything and then delete it)
  • Naming scheme: FGCOLOR is the foreground color, BGCOLOR is the background color (only used with non-white backgrounds)
    • quickemu-FGCOLOR.svg
    • quickemu-FGCOLOR-overlay.svg
    • quickemu-FGCOLOR-nobg.svg
