### Free software to create/edit SVG icons

- [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/en/)
- [Inkscape](https://inkscape.org/en/) is a free, open source SVG editor
- There are tools available to convert PNG/JPG images to SVG - [Autotracer.org](https://autotracer.org) and [Vectorizer.io](https://vectorizer.io) are two examples.
- It's important to produce fully _vectorized_ graphic (don't include a base64 image string in the svg).

### Use icons from here

- [Material Design Icons](https://materialdesignicons.com/)
- download them as SVG and edit the icons e.g. with Inkscape
- you can use any other source **as long as the icons are free to use!** This icon theme is absolutely non-commercial, but you should always check the license of your sources!

### Test your icons before submitting
- Preview your own custom icons locally before submitting a Pull Request. See [Custom icon associations](README.md#custom-icon-associations) in README.md for instructions.


## Add translations

- Create or edit the translations in the `src/i18n` directory.
