Hi Matthias,
Thanks for your reply. If you look at gnome-looks icons, there are lot of icon themes based on a preferred geometry (like circular, rounded-square etc. I personally use https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme-circle). As any themed icons-sets, those icons only work with prebuilt icons (those provided by the upstream). If I use a software that is not themed by the upstream, it looks out of place. I have added my screen-shot for an example, with nedit not themed (see http://picpaste.com/Screenshot_from_2015-05-05_13-34-03-cZkzdwST.png ) In android system, it is very common that if icons are unthemed, then it will get a layer (masking) ...so all icons have same shape. > Subject: Re: icon-masking in gnome > From: mclasen@xxxxxxxxxx > To: desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: Mon, 4 May 2015 10:02:48 -0400 > CC: desktop-devel-list@xxxxxxxxx > > On Sat, 2015-05-02 at 19:46 +0100, Rudra Banerjee wrote: > > Hi, > > I am a longtime fedora and gnome enduser. > > I want to propose icon masking facility for unthemed desktop icon, as > > it is very common in android. > > > > I talked to such a icon developer (Numix) and I was told that this is > > not supported in linux. > > Is there any work on this? > > Regards, > > RudraB > > Could you explain what you mean by icon masking, and why it would be > useful to have ? > -- > desktop mailing list > desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop |
