Re: Choosing the 'right' icon for an application
Robin Norwood wrote: So I've been looking at importing the icons for applications for the Fedora Applications web site [1]. We'd like to show an icon next to a given application, preferably the one the user would see in the menus after installing said app. This is, of course, complicated. I can currently look for icons inside each rpm in Fedora, specifically the rpm providing the application we're interested in, and the various *-icon-theme rpms. My current thinking is, for each application: o Get the icon name from the application's .desktop file. This seems sane o Look in /usr/share/icons for icons matching that name from the various default Fedora themes. o Pick an appropriately-sized icon png (probably 48x48). - We could also store svg instead of png. I don't think there is a need to store the SVG, there is no straightforward way to embed in in a web page (and have it rendered correctly by all browsers). o Create a map that looks something like this: OS - Application - Theme - icon With a 'generic' theme for icons provided by the application. o Save the above map and icon data in the web application's database. o When picking an icon to show the user, pick the one from their currently-selected theme and OS (if we know it), falling back to an icon from the Fedora or 'generic' theme. I am curious to identify which icon theme is the user using. The browser does not know this info, the only way I can imagine it working is to have smolt reporting the theme and link data from smolt with amber. I don't think you want to go this route (complicated, privacy issues, smolt is off by default) Does this sound sane? I don't know enough about how icons work to know if I've missed something. I want to add that we are not sure at this time which icon set will be used in F10 as default, we try to have Echo but we may end staying one more cycle with Mist (but this should be easy to solve, both themes are using the same naming structure).

Or just having the power to accept our own proposal is not that great and start playing with a concept proposed by someone else (maybe bringing an idea or two from the abandoned work). -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com Cool Fedora wallpapers: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro/wallpapers/ Open Clip Art Library: http://www.openclipart.org my Fedora stuff: http://fedora.nicubunu.ro ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
