adwaita mumble logo
it is a Well Known* fact that the mumble icon is very bad
it looks like a logo made for a open source project in the mid 2000s. which, it is! so that checks out
doesn't change that it's like. really ugly.
why is the shading so weird? why is the band's width so inconsistent? why are the curves so sharp? why does nothing line up? why are the cups slightly transparent? why can you see the mic arm through the earcup? why is the border made up of like 5 different circles? WHY IS THERE A GIANT BLUETOOTH LOW ENERGY IN THE MIDDLE
okay, so what
so i did something about it
i created this icon purely from scratch, following the gnome human interface guidelines, primarily out of spite from how much i dislike the original logo, and how much i really wanted something prettier to look at in my app grid
wowie that's so cool and epic, how do i use it
you can download the regular icon and the symbolic icon by clicking that blue underlined text you just read
as for actually using them as your icons, it should work if you place them in the following locations:
- regular:
~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/mumble.svg
- symbolic:
~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/symbolic/apps/mumble-symbolic.svg
note that if you're using the flatpak, you'll have to replace mumble
with info.mumble.Mumble
if that doesn't work, you might be using an icon theme like MoreWaita which already replaces the mumble icon. you'll have to overwrite the icon there
if that still doesn't work. uh. idk
also if you're on windows or macos i can't help you.
if you're really nerdy, feel free to download the source project and pick apart how i made it
