GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 747238
provide a scalable -symbolic variant of the app icon
Last modified: 2015-04-28 13:05:17 UTC
Starting with GNOME 3.16 we streamlined how high contrast icons are managed. The attached patch includes a symbolic variant of the app icon that is used for HC theme and recolorable at runtime. See https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/GnomeGoals/HighContrastAppIcons for more details.
Created attachment 300812 [details] [review] icon: provide a symbolic variant of teh app icon since 3.16 the high contrast accessible theme is covered by the recolorable symbolic variant of the app icon. The symbolic size has been introduced to hicolor to cope with the nominal size of 16x16 rather than the backward compatible 128x128.
There’s an error in the installation directory, I think. It should be “scalable”, not “symbolic”.
Review of attachment 300812 [details] [review]: The icon looks a bit like a window (in a building) to me. Maybe if it used a 3×3 grid, rather than 2×2, it would be more recognisable? Would there be enough space for that? ::: Makefile.am @@ +62,3 @@ icon48_DATA = data/icons/48x48/hitori.png +iconsymbolicdir = $(icon_dir)/symbolic/apps +iconsymbolic_DATA = data/icons/symbolic/hitori-symbolic.svg As Arnaud says, this should be $(icon_dir)/scalable.

That's actually not an error; the symbolic directory is just a new place for symbolic icons. The fun is now that we have half the new symbolics in one directory, and half in another. :)
