Tried to get a bit more information regarding this in #freedesktop. The current results: > <ximion> eliasp: there is no formal standard for that yet, but /usr/share/pixmaps/faces is inoficially used > <ximion> and IMHO that's a very sane location to choose > <eliasp> ximion: ok, that's at least a start for me… thanks a lot > <ximion> we might want to standardize that... -*- ximion makes a note > <ximion> (at time it's used by a few DMs, including GDM) > <eliasp> ximion: great, thanks a lot… sddm might use this then as well: https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/174#issuecomment-47430930 > <eliasp> let's see what the others say > <ximion> eliasp: I stumbled upon that for the Tanglu linux distribution, where I didn't want to implement icon-selection twice in the installer... > <ximion> maybe we can get GNOME to place their images in a subdirectory in faces/, so naming-collisions are less likely to happen, in case someone writes some kind of "faces theme" > <ximion> (I could imagine this might happen in corporate environments - they sometimes care about minor details like that) > <eliasp> subdirectories sound good… so applications should scan faces/ recursively for files > <eliasp> or (if wanted) just pick their own domain-specific subdirectory… > <ximion> yes, that would be pretty nice > <ximion> eliasp: for reference, that's what the directory contains on my system at time: http://postimg.org/image/ptoy80orz/ > <ximion> sizes are 96x96, which is reasonable > <eliasp> I wonder whether optional XXxXX (various sizes + scalable) subdirectories should be supported… 96x96 might be mostly reasonable, but it isn't anymore on HighDPI displays… > <ximion> we might indeed need a formal spec... > <eliasp> ximion: sure… there are to many factors involved for a "just do it like that" implementation > <eliasp> ximion: I'm not involved in XDG specs + processes at all… are you? so could you trigger a discussion and what's needed regarding this? > <ximion> halfline: hi! do you have a second? Do you think from the gdm side that a spec like this makes sense, meaning would GNOME be interested in supporting it? > <ximion> (see backlog tl;dr, defining a directory where DMs can pull default user faces from) I'll keep this bug updated regarding this - I hope this settles as a XDG spec soon, so it could be implemented here. Starting with Plasma 5.4 kcm_useraccount has been deprecated in favor of user-manager (you can run with kcmshell5 user_manager). This means that unfortunately we did not get to fix your bug, sorry about that. We encourage you to try user-manager and report any bug or improvement you may find. Sorry again for not fixing your bug and thanks for caring about KDE :) |
