Unpleasant Pixel Icon

[Gabriel Rauter]

ClamTK stands out from the rest of my desktop in having only a low resolution pixel icon.

I agree. We just need someone with some artistic ability to fix it. :)

Unfortunately, I have no talent with this kind of thing. I'll ask around, unless you know of someone.

Actualy i peruaded my brother to work on it, he's a professional graphic artist.

I am marking this as a confirmed feature request, improvement in icon. We hope to see someone in this thread volunteer to make ClamTK's icon better. Thank you very much for your comments.

Hello, I was inspired by this bug to create a nice icon for clamtk, i attached a gzip to this comment with 16, 22, 24, 32, 48, 128, 256, 512 px versions and also the original SVG of the icon.

Skyler,

I think it looks really good! Last time we changed icons, I just went with it. This time, should we vote on it? Or should I just include it?

I dunno :P, whatever you want to do I guess.

I submitted clamtk to this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/AppsNeedingHiResIcons

Fitoschido,

Does the design submitted by Skyler meet the criteria? I'm planning to release 4.38 soon which could include it as the new default icon.

Hi Dave,

I'm supposing the "criteria" is fixing the issue described in this bug: "the icon is unpleasantly pixelled". Well, the proposed icon by Skyler definitely fixes this bug. I find it pretty gray, but it could perform well viewed in an application selector and dock, say Unity, GNOME Shell, Avant, etc. I think it looks good, while it's less colorful.

4.38 was released with this new icon.
