User submitted icons? about nordzy-icon HOT 8 CLOSED

forgot to mention, the applications here are ytmdesktop (app.ytmdesktop.ytmdesktop) a generic youtube icon for pwas, and prism launcher (org.prismlauncher.PrismLauncher)

from nordzy-icon.

I have now also made icons for the pop shop and notable!


took me forever to find the pop shop's icon name, but it's apparently based on the app store from elementary.

Hey @Readf0x,
Sure, I will take a look and include them in the pack 😉
Thanks for contributing !!

from nordzy-icon.

Just a few questions 😛

• Is the very first icon Cider ? (red play logo, round)
• Do you have the name for notable and the pop shop ? Otherwise, I can install them in a vm and find the icon name, but since you are using them it might be easier if you already have them 😄

edit: to find most of the icon names easily, I run these two commands in my terminal
cd /usr/share/applications/
grep -e "^Icon=.*nameoftheapp.* * where nameofthe app is the name (or part of the name) of the application. e.g. for Firefox, I would try 'firefox' or 'irefox' (in case the first letter is uppercase)

OMG thank you, I didn't know grep could be used to search inside files! The first icon is ytmdesktop, a standalone desktop app for YT Music. The name of the flatpak is app.ytmdesktop.ytmdesktop I'll be back at my pc in a few minutes, so I'll figure out what pop shop and notable are called then.

Notable's icon is simply just notable and the POP!_Shop is io.elementary.appcenter.

I would like to know how I should submit icons in the future though?

from nordzy-icon.

Thanks, I added them to the theme and will commit it shortly 😉

To submit icon, the easiest way is to create a pull request (see this page for more details on how to submit a pull request)

For the creation of icons, there are some blank templates in tools/templates and color palettes in tools/palettesthat can help you.

Once your icon is created, you name it and place it in src/apps/scalable.

If the app as several possible names (ex: for Firefox, the app will use firefox (if installed through repo) or org.mozilla.firefox if installed through flatpak), you will need to create symbolic links in links/apps/scalable pointing to the icon in src/apps/scalable.
So for Firefox which has at least 2 names, I will have an SVG icon named 'firefox.svg' in src/apps/scalable then I will create a symbolic link in links/apps/scalable named org.mozilla.firefox.svg

To create the symbolic link, I use the following command:
cd src/apps/scalable (just 'cd' into the directory src/apps/scalable)
ln -s firefox.svg ../../../links/apps/scalable/org.mozilla.firefox.svg (create the symlink with other name used by the app)

I hope all is clear, if not don't hesitate to ask further question, or create a first pull request and if there are mistakes we can correct them 😉

Thanks! I didn't know about the palettes or templates, so that'll be a huge help in the future! I do know how to make symlinks, and btw if you use nautilus as your file manager, it has a shortcut to make symlinks built in. It's in the context menu. The shortcut is Shift + Ctrl + M by default.

I'll be closing the issue now, since everything seems to have been resolved. Thanks for your time!
