Little retrospective on helping out app developers with icons directly rather than building icon themes. https://blog.jimmac.eu/posts/app-icon-requests/ #gnome #icon #design

    @jimmac@mastodon.social Thank you for service to the community. As a fairly recent convert to Linux from macOS, I can tell you that high quality icons like these really make a big difference.

  • @jimmac@mastodon.social haha didn't expect to find out that someone already made a Slop Finder through an article about icons! :)

    @jimmac@mastodon.social I didn't know about the process but something on the back of my head was sensing some common (and nice) patterns on gnome circle apps icons. Nice work!

    Even though the icon style doesn't really match my taste (I prefer the elementaryOS look), I greatly appreciate the consistency and clarity. That the simpler execution of the style lowers the barrier of entry for collaboration also makes a lot of sense. Overall the icons look very polished and professional. ... That said, I would love an icon theme made from your sketches, @jimmac@mastodon.social. They are beautiful! Oh yeah, love the requests initiative btw. 👌
