pipeline status F-Droid version ameixa Website

Two icon packs (chromatic and monochromatic) that are compatible with Trebuchet, Kiss Launcher, Lawnchair Launcher, OpenLauncher, Adw, and many more launchers (basically any launcher that supports icon packs). It's a material design inspired theme that aims to provide a consistent and minimalistic look to your device. Some code from the Frost icon pack is utilized (thank you dkanada!). Mainly F-Droid hosted apps are supported. and only icon requests of FOSS apps are accepted.

Tips for creating icons in Inkscape

You can be creative, the icon does not have to be a 1-to-1 clone of the original. For many overloaded icons out there it is even beneficial to simplify them.

Nameing an icon correctly

  • the name should be in lower case
  • The name should start with a character, not a digit

General

  • The icon should be white only without any transparency
  • The icon should fit into one of the three hint outlines
  • The icon should be vertically and horizontally aligned
  • The minimum gap and stroke width is 0.6
  • All paths should be united to a single path

Text, Gradients, Masks, etc.

  • Use Paths-objects only
  • Do not use any Text, Mask, etc. Instead, convert them as path via Path>Stroke to Path or Path>Object to Path

Layers

  • Do hide the hint layer after aligning the icon within the hint
  • Do not rename any layer
  • Do not change background layer Do not add additional layers
