@srirambv can you be more specific about what is wrong? When I look at the picture shown, it looks good to me (shows picture of Brave icon).

[srirambv]

@bsclifton the icon on right is chromium star we replaced the bookmark icon with our custom icon which should be used.

@srirambv I don't see the star? This is what my bookmarks looks like:

Version 1.4.16 Chromium: 79.0.3945.74 (Official Build) nightly (64-bit)

The bigger issue for me is we should be using our own bookmarks folder icon:

It replaces the Chrome bookmarks folder icon in the browser toolbar and on chrome://bookmarks/

Please use our Brave folder icon:
bookmark folder icon.zip
(Maybe this should be a separate issue though)

@karenkliu need to check the entry in history(brave://history). If the site is bookmarked it shows the star next to it as shown in issue.

another example but in dark mode

[karenkliu]

oh got it - okay, you're saying it should look like this?

Here you go:
fill-bookmarked.zip
Let's make it 16x16 large.

Looks like the fix would be creating a patch on this file in the chromium source. If theres some documentation on how you create your chromium patches/how to validate and test them I can give it a shot

Hi @darrylbutcher - our wiki has some good information about getting setup:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki

We do have a specific section about patching too:
https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Patching-Chromium

This might be as easy as creating a new file under chromium_src (matching directory structure of existing icon)
