Description Jones Lee 2004-11-24 22:59:46 UTC
We need new GNOME-ish icon for our project.
 + Icon for the GB SP mascot - (all sizes that I sent to u)
 + Mimetype for .GB .GBC and .GBA
Thanks in advance.
Comment 1 Jakub Steiner 2004-11-25 00:10:46 UTC
What's the mimetype of these files?
Comment 2 Rodney Dawes 2004-11-25 17:18:07 UTC
Let's not add more specific mime types to the icon theme. Ideally, the default
icon theme would be as generic as possible. As soon as we have a standard way of
doing generic fallbacks for mime types, and it is implemented in gtk+/gnome, I
am going to remove all the specific type icons in favor of the generics.
Comment 3 Jakub Steiner 2004-11-26 01:22:16 UTC
what if you removed them from the Makfiles so they're not installed anymore and
I'll add these without adding them either. I'd love to keep these in a central
repository.
Comment 4 Jones Lee 2004-11-26 03:14:02 UTC
To Jakub:
  .GB mimetype will depict the Gameboy Mono ROM
  .GBC mimetype will depict the Gameboy Color ROM
  .GBA mimetype will depict the Gameboy Advance ROM
Comment 5 Rodney Dawes 2004-11-26 14:17:19 UTC
Jones: The file extension doesn't specify what the mime type is. MIME types are
of the form application/x-foo and such. Surely there are x-types for these roms, no?

Jakub: I don't know. I suppose we should be installing them all, until we can
get the generic implementation stuff in place. I'll write up mail about it
today, and see if we can't get something done in the next couple of weeks.
Comment 6 Jones Lee 2004-11-27 01:31:20 UTC
Confirm: Actually, no one has set the standard mimetype for GB ROM, so I propose
x-rom-gb, x-rom-gbc, x-rom-gba. Comments welcome.
Comment 7 Jakub Steiner 2004-11-29 20:42:59 UTC
Jones, is this different to what you dexcribe as x-rom-gb?

application/x-gameboy-rom:

should do for an app icon
Comment 9 Jones Lee 2004-11-30 01:20:15 UTC
Sweet, it's better if u can make it thicker? (I reckon)

Yes, that's right!
Comment 12 Jones Lee 2004-12-02 01:23:53 UTC
Jakub, they're so pretty! But I think you should change the label of GB mimetype
from GBoy to GB. And Jakub, can u make different size version of the GBA SP
logo? I need 16x16, 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64. Thanks in advance. You rock Jakub!

Comment 14 Teppo Turtiainen 2005-07-22 17:09:49 UTC
I think gnome-icon-theme would be a better place for this.
Comment 15 Jones Lee 2005-07-23 03:22:14 UTC
Jakub, can you finish other sizes for the main icon please?
Comment 16 Sergej Kotliar 2005-08-18 11:19:07 UTC
Doing a group confirm.
Comment 17 Michael Monreal 2006-07-05 08:24:57 UTC
G-I-T is not supposed to ship icons for applications like this, those would have to be provided by the application and installed to hicolor. Can we close this bug?
Comment 18 Jakub Steiner 2006-07-05 10:35:30 UTC
Indeed. Closing. 

Jones, Ryan Collier (http://pseudocode.org) has been working on some tango-styled console icons IIRC, try poking him if he wouldn't have the time to help you out.
Comment 19 Rodney Dawes 2006-07-05 14:15:48 UTC
Just to clarify, applications SHOULD NOT install MIME type icons into another theme. If two applications handle the same MIME type, and want to provide different icons for it, they both can't install the same file to hicolor.
Comment 20 Michael Monreal 2006-07-05 14:37:00 UTC
Oh well I was under the impression that this was only about an application icon... about the mime icons, wouldn't the "right" way be to put a generic "rom" icon into t-i-t and g-i-t and update the icon naming utils to link to all the rom mime types supported in the mime spec? 
Comment 21 Rodney Dawes 2006-07-05 15:41:49 UTC
No. The right way would be to have a generic rom icon, and fall back through the icon names to it, and not require all the symlinks. And we also need a way for apps to install MIME type icons. There's been some discussion about adding a way to specify icons in the MIME xml files in $datadir/mime/packages/, but it's not yet in the spec or implementations.
