Papirus-icon-theme: Proposal: New Firefox Nightly Icon

[lokesh-krishna]

Firefox Nightly has a gorgeous new icon. Would be nice to see Papirus reflect this.

[varlesh]

If Firefox devs redesign icon on stable release - we change this too.

[lokesh-krishna]

They have and it will be launching with v57 in November. It too looks gorgeous :)

[varlesh]

Concept:

[varlesh]

Also i think need add more red color and delete сontinents element on Earth

[lokesh-krishna]

Love your take on it, especially the redder variant. Any chance we could see a concept for the nightly too?

@varlesh [email protected] looks great :+1:

[jEsuSdA]

Why not a bit of gradient to match with the new original colors?

[varlesh]

we not use gradients

[jEsuSdA]

Yes. I know. But maybe some other solid yellow element.
I mean, the Firefox's tail is yellow (it means fire) and it will be fine not to loose this characteristic detail.

[varlesh]

@jEsuSdA And how doing this?
Yes i can draw layering style version with yellow color, but it's not looking as original 2017:

For compare:

Not only does [email protected] look gorgeous in its own right, it is also a really interesting new direction for Papirus to take. It stays true to the flat philosophy while letting it better express gradients in the original app icons.

However, the layers are quite difficult to make out at smaller sizes. Maybe use only red and orange and drop the yellow?

Can we please see your take on the Nightly icon?

[varlesh]

Yes, it's not good looking for tiny icons. I think [email protected] better for support. See, all icons сlearly visible and understandable:

Also old original Firefox-2013 icon use gradient too, but this not reproduced on Paper or Papirus:

Can we please see your take on the Nightly icon?

After test and сonfirmation new design on team

[varlesh]

firefox-layer icon added:

[varlesh]

on dock:

[varlesh]

Anyway I like second variant:

[lokesh-krishna]

For what it's worth, I too like the second variant more, especially at smaller sizes.

After test and сonfirmation new design on team

Looking forward to it :)

[amrmsaraya]

I agree with @varlesh. I think firefox-new is much more better, firefox-layer doesn't look good and doesn't match with Papirus Style also doesn't fit well with other icons.

[varlesh]

Changes on Master branch.
firefox-new > firefox
firefox-layer > firefox-alt
new firefox-trunk & firefox-trunk-alt

[jEsuSdA]

Good decision. Two version to allow users to decide. Thank you! You are great, @varlesh ;)

[clasick]

How do you choose a particular Nightly icon?

[SmartFinn]

@clasick just change Icon=firefox-trunk to Icon=firefox-trunk-alt in your /usr/share/applications/firefox-trunk.desktop file.
