[Icon request] Dolphin <KDE file manager>

Open Nomen-Luni opened this issue 8 months ago • 8 comments

KDE's Breeze Icon theme now has a nice icon for the Dolphin file manager which is a folder with a cute dolphin on it.

I'm jealous... any chance for Papirus? 🥹🙏

  • App Name: Dolphin
  • Icon Name: org.kde.dolphin
  • Description: Dolphin file manager

No. I'm against the logo because the icon looks terrible in small sizes.

I love it mate! ♥️ ..and you are right about the original at small sizes.

The icon seems to be overloaded with elements, and therefore this design is very controversial. I will not change this in the main branch yet, after all, Dolphin is one of the most important KDE applications.

I hear you RE overload. Removing the 'paper' and making it similar to a plain folder icon would decrease complexity and leave more space for the dolphin icon. Of course it could be argued that this makes it look more like a folder than an application but I think the dolphin is sufficient differentiation.. dunno..

I really like the variant with the full Dolphin. I support it! I think it looks better than just a plain blue folder. Also helps to differentiate the app from a normal folder depending on the context.
