Description Jakub Steiner 2015-03-26 18:40:51 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.

symbolic icon in use

Nice!
Isn't the flower a bit hard to see in the small variant?

The wiki page mentions a "3.16 status". Wouldn't we require a freeze break for including it in 3.16?
Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2015-04-27 23:52:07 UTC
The symbolic icon is really needed for GNOME 3.16, so if you're OK with the icon, please do backport it.
Comment 4 Felix Riemann 2015-04-29 19:25:17 UTC
Done! Pushed it with a fix that made sure the file is installed into the correct system directory.

Thanks for the icon, Jakub. :)

    icon: Install symbolic app icon into the right location
    
    Make sure the icon installs into the system data dir instead of the
    package data dir. Also fix used icon category.
