- If you want to contribute to Delta by providing icons please do so by creating a SVG icon, cloning this repo and issuing a pull request.
- Symbolic links of icons can be created with
ln -s (original icon).svg (symlink).svg
in a terminal. - A basic guide to creating icon themes can be found here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Attic/GnomeArt/Tutorials/IconThemes
index.theme
outlines the file structure and properties of the icons. If you are adding additional folders, make sure to reflect the changes in this file.
- Place SVGs in the correct place in the file structure (e.g. application icons under
applications
, MIME type icons undermimetypes
).
- When saving the SVG, save it as an Optimized SVG to reduce hard disk space.
- If you use the text tool on the icon, it is strongly recommended to convert the text using
Object to Path
, this is so it can display correctly in the DEs (Desktop Environments). - Clipping and Masking can't be used as it will not be correctly displayed in DEs and other applications, instead use
Union, Difference, Intersection, etc.
