Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Some alternative app icons (latte.isnot.coffee)

Quite like the development of Jerboa as it stands, but I found the icon of the app to be a bit uninspired (and personally I need to have a dark background so stuff doesn't stand out too much).

Anyway, I got some time on hand last night and prompted DALL-E to create some Jerboa-inspired icons, and after going through dozens and dozens of iterations, prompts and refinements, I was left with 5 that I really like, cleaned them up and tuned them a bit in Photoshop this morning, and here we are:

Now I have no clue what that means in terms of licensing and whatnot. I'm explicitly posting them with no strings attached from my end, but can't tell if any underlying licenses still apply regardless.

And this is how it looks like in situ (my personal favourite):

[–] mitchacho74@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

They all look great, I personally like the brown one, something different than gray, but they're all very cute and look very nice

[–] ratboy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I LOVE the first two but they are all so cute! Good stuff

Nice on Nova launcher 😄

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, Nova is the best! Glad you like it 😁

[–] MrSangrief@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I vote 1st and 3rd!

[–] kionite231@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

OMG these look awesome 👏👍😊

[–] Tywele@dataterm.digital 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The 2nd is my personal favourite

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep, same. Using it myself now. With Nova Launcher you can replace any app icon yourself (might even be possible with stock Android now, I have no idea...).

[–] Tywele@dataterm.digital 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No Pixel Launcher doesn't allow customisation of app icons, unfortunately. I would love to be able to disable app labels but I can't :(. But I also don't want to use third party launchers because of the gesture navigation bugs/stutters.

But I really like the Material You icons you can enable in the Pixel Launcher.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using gesture navigation exclusively with Nova Launcher, that works without any stuttering. Or is that Pixel specific? I'm using a OnePlus.

[–] Tywele@dataterm.digital 1 points 1 year ago

It's hard to describe and it's not exactly a stutter. When you open an app and swipe up to return to the home screen there is a short moment where the screen doesn't react to any input which is really annoying.

[–] PCChipsM922U@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should probably open an issue on GH and just add the icons in SVG or whatever and suggest this to the devs. This way, you'll most definitely get their attention.

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 1 year ago

Very good point, I'll do that in the next few days when I have some time to convert it.

[–] WhiteOakBayou@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Using the second one. Looks great with my dark theme

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 1 year ago

Same! Glad you like it 😁

[–] bownage@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you!! Very nice :)

PS if you want people to use them for anything they like, you'll want a CC-BY (will require listing you as author) or CC0 license (completely public domain).

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 1 year ago

Ah nice, thanks a lot! In that case I'm happy to go for CC0, since really most of the work was done by an AI.

My point was just that I don't know if any underlying license from DALL-E restricts me from opening it up to the public domain. I'll try to get some clarity.

https://file.io/Qtm0OkCjgH9W Made a minimalist light/dark theme variant on version 2 since you kindly provided them no stings attached :)

[–] godless@latte.isnot.coffee 1 points 1 year ago

Wow nice, I love it! Thanks for sharing!
