Yaru: Missing icon for sound device

[Jupiter007-43]

Actual Behavior

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Open Gnome-settings
2. Go to bluetooth
3. Connect a sound device

Tested on 19.10, I will test on master with my 20.04 VM.

[Jupiter007-43]

Same on master.

Hi @Jupiter007-43 Could you post a screenshot from Adwaita?

[meetdilip]

Is this the intended behaviour ?

[Jupiter007-43]

@madsrh here is :

@meetdilip No, just the full-color icon is missing and revert to symbolic 😉

[Jupiter007-43]

Game controller icon is also missing #1951

Maybe look at the list of icon to see which are missing ?

There is one for Rhythmbox which looks like the one in Adwaita.

[Jupiter007-43]

[madsrh]

Too similar to Rhythmbox IMO

[Jupiter007-43]

Yes indeed.

We could just use the speaker inside that icon? I mean, just emove the baseplate

The bracket / skrew holes from Adwaita are nice too. Perhaps we can borrow them too

@Feichtmeier Here is

🤔 It's a good starting point, but there's something missing...

@madsrh Where is the repository for this Adwaita icon? I searched and didn't find it.

Maybe I've got a problem, but I can't find it... 😓

I got the icon to blue. But not sure where to put in the Bluetooth audio logo

Mockup

[Jupiter007-43]

@madsrh Thanks very much! I must be really tired.

[Jupiter007-43]

@meetdilip This icon is named audio-speakers and not audio-speakers-bluetooth so I don't think that a Bluetooth logo is needed.

Sure. I was banking on the title. :)

[Jupiter007-43]

Reworked Adwaita icon

[ubuntujaggers]

We might consider making the icon more monochrome, because I think of the yellow more as the Rhythmbox logo than a generic non-branded speaker 🤔

[Feichtmeier]

Yeah, maybe that warmish gray #AEA79F

Speakers look a lot different these days

[madsrh]

That's only the speaker casing. That actual speaker unit looks just like that :smiley:

Good thinking :+1:

[meetdilip]

That is true. But people mostly related sound device to mainly soundbar and Bluetooth speakers. I think those sell more. If we change it now, it will stay for another 5 years.

Na, I think putting a bluetooth glyph into the icon could be enough. That boxes you've posted are hard to draw in Yaru style.
I would go with this one https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/1948#issuecomment-589671132

[Jupiter007-43]

Monochrome version :

Hoping to do something different from Adwaita.

That is really good @meetdilip :muscle:
I'm not sure that using a difference metaphor from Adwaita is an improvement. I prefer just creating a similar icon (similar to Adwaita) in the Yaru style like @Jupiter007-43 did here. (is there a PR incoming? :wink: )

It's just my opinion and nothing wrong with you drawing though :smiley:

[meetdilip]

It is simply a personal choice. I somehow relate pictures like this to a sound device. Haven't seen bare bone speakers much.
