The icon Breeze uses for GIMP is bad. This is the used icon: http://filebin.net/d85ggykxye/gimp.svg This is the standard GIMP icon everyone knows: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/plain/desktop/256x256/gimp.png Please consider improving the Breeze GIMP icon so it looks familiar to GIMP users, or remove it altogether so the official icon is used. Reproducible: Always
"Bad" is not feedback. Please provide proper, usable feedback.
Are you serious that my report is improper and unusable? Take a look at the links. The GIMP icon looks like a square nothing. When I asked a GIMP dev to verify whether the icon change was upstream, he responded saying it looked like a placeholder.
Yes. "Bad" is not usable feedback for a designer to work with. Otherwise this is a bug report about you not liking the icon, in which case you can remove the svg file from your system and the original GIMP icon will be used.
There was more to the report after "bad". I explained that the icon is unfamiliar to GIMP users. It does look like a placeholder. Seeing as Breeze is the default icon theme in Plasma 5, I think that is a problem.
Ok, fair enough. However, the Gimp logo, Wilber, is made in a different perspective than icons in Breeze. If there are other proposals (other than resorting to use Wilber) for the icon I can check them here.
I think adapting Wilber's style to Breeze would be best in terms of familiarity and instant identification... Using him as a silhouette in a canvas, or perhaps something like the Inkscape icon.
As Uri is gone and I don't want to discuss if something is good or bad in addition I don't make app icons. If you are interested in an better gimp icon you are VERY welcome. read the icon guideline and upload a new one. I would be happy if it is better than the icon now. sorry that I can't help you by doing something for you. It's open source I give you the possibility to increase breeze.
I've made icons before, maybe I can help. Could you link me to the guideline?
the guidelines are quite good. https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/IconDesign
Created attachment 100090 [details] Gimp icon in plasma5 comparison Here is an example of Wilbur, the Gimp mascot and Icon. The current icon look like a square colored with a gradient. Maybe a placeholder?? The spectacle, libreoffice, kate, konsole are blobs. I normally turn off Information Tip, but I can tell what things are by the icons any more.
you are welcome to send an gimp icon.
I just use the one provided by the linux distribution or go to https://www.gimp.org/about/linking.html. They have a couple there. In this case, opensuse-tumbleweed, /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/gimp.png. But when I right-click the gimp icon (it happens to all icons on the panel), and select "Icon Settings", I get a window that says "Keyboard Shortcuts". There is nothing about Icon's on that window. So at this moment, I don't know how to change these icons. I was able to change the launcher's icon to /usr/share/icons/oxygen/32x32/apps/kde.png, by right-clicking the launcher, selecting "Application Menu Settings" and checking the box, "Use custom image" and browsing to the location.
remove the gimp icon from /usr/share/icons/breeze (default) /apps/64/ and you will get the default icon from the gimp package
