More various nix install improvements

Open user1-github opened this issue 2 months ago • 1 comments

  • Add x256 and x512 icons: Smaller icons will look bad on today's high resolution displays.

  • Rename appdata.xml to metainfo.xml: appdata is a legacy (and deprecated) naming convention. metainfo is what currently should be used as it's better supported and more future proof.

  • Change screenshot url source from Steam to Github: These are the same screenshots, I just changed to the ones hosted on the promotional Github repo in case the ones on Steam are going to be removed at some point.

  • Change summary to "Free first person arena shooter": It's much better practice to have a more brief summary that doesn't repeat points already made in the description.

  • Add brand colors: They will make the game look more appealing on various Linux store frontends. On Flathub in particular, apps that have brand colors are more likely to be better promoted. I tried to find colors that best match the RE website. Here is how it looks like:

Since this wasn't merged yet, I've made some more changes/improvements in this PR:

  • Changed summary to "Free agile arena shooter" in metadata, as the previous summary was a bit generic.

  • Changed to component type "desktop-application" in metadata, as component type "desktop" is deprecated.

  • Renamed appdata to metainfo in system-install.mk - in case someone still uses this, it should now work properly due to renaming "redeclipse.appdata.xml.am" to "redeclipse.metainfo.xml.am" in one of the previous commits.

Now, everything is ready to be merged.
