Moving Icons away from CC BY-ND 3.0 licensed Icons to help with FOSS Packaging

[Docteh]

I've seen some comments stating that sharing pre-compiled binaries is problematic for linux distributions due to the CC BY-ND 3.0 license

In this commit I am tackling the 16x16 icons

The reported status of the "yuzu Web Service" section of Configuration uses two icons, checked and failed

checked is replaced by material-design-icons check_circle failed is replaced by material-design-icons error

Colors have been set by taking the white pngs of 18x18, cropping to 16x16, and then adjusting Curves using Paint.NET

Other tools are available.

There is also a locked icon that does not appear to be used in the current code. citra uses it for multiplayer

lock is replaced by material-designs-icons lock

Some of the colorful theme icons are clearly from https://github.com/icons8/flat-color-icons/ which is available MIT licensed

Sources for MIT license: https://github.com/icons8/flat-color-icons/issues/5 https://github.com/icons8/flat-color-icons/blob/master/package.json

This covers plus_folder, bad_folder, chip, folder

Leaving plus, sd_card and star to need further research/replacement

The first two are user visible, the lock icons aren't used right now.

The lock icons are shoddily replaced to avoid having to test and verify that removal doesn't break anything.

Fixes #8077

I find the checked.png icon hard to look at with a white background. Would it be possible to darken its green a bit?

Edit: also, the "wont totally fix #8077" in the PR description will actually close the linked issue, you should put something between fix and the issue number, or replace fix with something like "related to"

Edit 2: you could also try downloading the SVGs and resize them instead of resizing rasterized PNGs; it might lead to slightly better quality

[Tachi107]

The Noun Project offers icons licensed under the free CC-BY-3.0 license. They feature a lot of icons, like SD card icons

[Docteh]

I'm not actually resizing the images, its a crop

Retint of the checked.png, I grabbed the color from the current checked.png

I'm going to convert this to a draft, just to avoid builds being generated when I push

Current icons

https://remixicon.com/ Apache 2.0

Hero Icons, MIT https://github.com/tailwindlabs/heroicons

This one looks closer to what icons8 has. It doesn't have an SD Card, but that can be gotten to.

Personally, I lean towards liking heroicons

@Tachi107 they have a LOT of icons to look through.

• [ ] are heroicons good enough?
• [ ] sd cards

[Docteh]

I've got all the ND icons replaced, so I squashed it down, and have double checked the changes to dist/license.md

Previous Colorful

sd_card, star, plus changed in this PR

New White icons

[Docteh]

Two changes, that I'll commit later. I don't want to spam builds. (These are the 48x48 pngs that will be commited later)

Star, Original color: EFCE4A different color: FFCA28 Set size to 42

SD Card is also a bit big, initially rasterized 48x48, better off at 44x44

Current PR/Preview with these changes

[Docteh]

For the monochromatic icons I'm not sure if they should be filled in or not, but after staring at a lot of icons I believe they should be the same

#8541 adds 11 more icons, in that, 3 variants of 3, and 2 variants of 1 add up to 11. I complained over there about the issue, might need a reminder.

I got feedback from @german77 that the SD card looks like a foot, changed it out. Still a few pins short, but at 48x48 accuracy might he bard to see.

Redrew plus signs, the green felt too small, the others felt too big. I had a hard time seeing the exclamation mark in failed, so it's also replaced

[Docteh]

@IvarWithoutBones Looks like #8541 got merged https://github.com/yuzu-emu/yuzu/commit/705f7db84dd85555a6aef1e136cf251725cef293 so I'll need to dedicate some time for those.

@Tachi107 I copy/pasted the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported license into notepad. Seems okay. But maybe there is better source with files in .txt format?

[sbruder]

@Docteh I tried appending .txt to the license URL and that seems to return a plain text version of the CC-BY-SA 3.0: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/legalcode.txt

Yes, there is. You can use reuse download --all to download all the licenses used by the project into the 'LICENSES/` folder.

You can install the reuse tool on Debian with apt install reuse, or via pip with pip3 install reuse

[Docteh]

I swapped out the license with the .txt direct from Creative Commons. Why? easier to read on GitHub, or in less.

Goes well with CC0-1.0.txt, also nicely formatted.

Yeah I guess that is fine too. If the reuse CI job passes it means that everything is OK

[Tachi107]

Thanks for merging!
