Description Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2018-07-27 13:17:08 UTC

When integrating clazy as tool into an IDE with GUI, it would be nice to have an official visual identifier to use for the respective functionality provided by the clazy-driven backend.

See e.g. integration of clazy into KDevelop (currently at review request state at https://phabricator.kde.org/D14288)

Having a clazy icon to use for the plugin and the respective menu entries/toolbar entries would improve things :)

I have a logo for it somewhere, will ask the designer were he put it :)

This is what I have, let me know if they work

Comment 4 Friedrich W. H. Kossebau 2018-07-28 14:16:00 UTC

That was quick, thanks :)

Any chance for an official SVG version of the icon as well, ideally one compatible with QtSvg features?

A small challenge I already see is that the icon might be hard to see in dark color UI themes (something which especially some developers prefer it seems, not me :) ).

Will give the current PNG version a try later this WE and report back here how it works for KDevelop with dark and bright color themes.

Here some screenshots with the new clazy kdevelop plugin adapted to make use of the ico128.png file : https://share.kde.org/index.php/s/xHM9CAnpy67RPD7

Works okayish, but perhaps the icon could be made a little bit more "iconic" for smaller pixel sizes?

Comment 6 pinheiro 2019-04-25 19:50:38 UTC

Ok will do icons for this...


Note please ooooo please do not use svg to render icons it's just a waste of CPU for no gain at all.
Spend CPU to create a raster file that then you show, just prerender and save that work...and don't say scalable ;) I will have to kill you all ;)

solution

notice that the source file contains 8 icons, stop using svg for icon rendering independent on size, its making icons messy and blury.
@2x and @3x you can get away with it even if you end up with way to much detail in 2 litle phisical space but ... on normal dpi screens no don't use svg

Comment 8 pinheiro 2019-06-26 12:49:51 UTC

addendum to comment, its as come to my attention that the reason for the blury icons is the lack of specific sized svg's for all sizes. 
I would create a bug for these and send some free beers to people spending time doing them
