Hi guys, To explain how we ended up with the current icon... in Suru, there were basically two types of app icon: an object on a squircle, or a squircle- shaped object.
Object on a squircle example: https://github.com/snwh/suru-icon- theme/blob/master/Suru/48x48/apps/filemanager-app.png Squircle-shaped object example: https://github.com/snwh/suru-icon- theme/blob/master/Suru/48x48/apps/camera-app.png In the current Yaru icons, we use more than one shape, but the same principle applies, so a few of the icons feature an object or glyph on a backplate (which is usually round or square). The symbolic versions of those icons don't always include the outline because it doesn't add any meaning, and you only have 16px to play with (example: the symbolic version of the tweaks app just has the two toggles without the square outline). Having said all that, I can understand why the current Files icon looks a bit out-of-place, because not many of the default apps ended up having this kind of icon. There are others in the Yaru set but they aren't installed by default. I think startup apps might be the only other one you see in a fresh install. We came to the current design after trying two others (including a folder without the backplate) and ended up cycling back to one that was very similar to Suru. I didn't mind it without the background but we got bad feedback about that too :) Anyway, I'm happy to continue to think about this design. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873346 Title: Remove the grey border/background from the Files (nautilus) icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/yaru-theme/+bug/1873346/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
