Hi, So I've been looking at importing the icons for applications for the Fedora Applications web site [1]. We'd like to show an icon next to a given application, preferably the one the user would see in the menus after installing said app. This is, of course, complicated. I can currently look for icons inside each rpm in Fedora, specifically the rpm providing the application we're interested in, and the various *-icon-theme rpms. My current thinking is, for each application: o Get the icon name from the application's .desktop file. o Look in /usr/share/icons for icons matching that name from the various default Fedora themes. o Pick an appropriately-sized icon png (probably 48x48). - We could also store svg instead of png. o Create a map that looks something like this: OS -> Application -> Theme -> icon With a 'generic' theme for icons provided by the application. o Save the above map and icon data in the web application's database. o When picking an icon to show the user, pick the one from their currently-selected theme and OS (if we know it), falling back to an icon from the Fedora or 'generic' theme. Does this sound sane? I don't know enough about how icons work to know if I've missed something. [1] https://fedorahosted.org/amber/ Thanks, -RN -- Robin Norwood Red Hat, Inc.
