First, do you really believe that you’ll do a better job at it than highly skilled professional designers who have spent literally years doing nothing but their respective icon themes? Judging by the fact that the icons shown above do not even stand out from the toolbar and because of that are not recognizable as interactive elements, I very much doubt that.īut even ignoring that, making a custom icon theme is little benefit for a hell of a lot of time invested. I believe using a pre-existing icon theme designed by professionals is a better idea than making your own. Implementing that would let you use every freely-licensed icon theme ever created. I’d like to point out that there is a specifications for icon set format that also specifies the pseudocode for icon lookup. i have a shape on my mind already but if someone has a idea i’d like to hear it first… a lot of icons will probably be a colection of objects held together by something and that’s where i expect this shape to become handy. but the current application icons both have a square base shape and that’s kinda unsatisfactory. this is a experimental idea, of course they should still be easy to differenciate. perhaps the Ion shell is a “classical” shell, but a vi-like editor isn’t what most people would expect an editor to be…įurthermore i was thinking of having some simple shape as a basis for application icons. i’m not sure how generic or brand-ish they should look. i’m not so happy with the icons for Ion and Sodium quite yet. I started a git repository for the new icons i have so far, inluding 32*32 px png versions. (like this silver database cylinder thing, it that the file manager?) but sometimes i can’t quite figure out what they represent. there are of course some icons in the screenshots that i can try to replace. and i don’t know where else to find the icons you need. i tried to run redox in VirtualBox and Hyper-V on two differet machies respectively and i weren’t able to run Redox in there.
