Geeqie needs a high-res icon

Open jose1711 opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

geeqie.png with dimensions 48x48 looks heavily pixelated in Gnome, perhaps there's a similar issue with other desktop managers and I believe geeqie deserves at least 96x96 icon.

There is a even a vector version of the icon and it needs only to be installed: https://github.com/BestImageViewer/geeqie/issues/511

Just executing: sudo cp <somewhere>/src/icons/svg/gqview_icon.svg /usr/share/pixmaps/geeqie.svg

seems to be all that is necessary to install it. But my eyes don't detect any significant difference :-(

There are articles on the Internet about Gnome's new approach to icons that may be relevant. There have also been discussions here about a new (maybe simplified) icon for Geeqie. If there were to be a change I would prefer that someone (other than me) would create a uniform set of icons for Geeqie (most of the ones that I have incorporated have simply been a hack or straight copy from a licence-free icon from the Internet).

In addition to copying svg file into /usr/share/pixmaps I also had to rename/delete geeqie.png. Otherwise there was no effect. Before: obrázok After: obrázok
