Quick Guide:

  1. Fork the repository to your GitHub account
  2. Download the templates provided here and design the new icons
  3. Upload the SVG icons to your repository's /other folder
  4. Create a pull request and explain your changes
  5. Provide the activity names of the new apps
    • These should look something like org.baitmooth.snow/org.baitmooth.snow.MainActivity
    • If you want to help even more you can add your new icons to the appfilter.xml file

Basic rules

  • use the template files as a reference, the document size should be 48px
  • lines have a thickness of 1px (Inkscape), 1pt (Illustrator)
  • lines should have a round cap & round corner
  • try to be consistent with sizing your icons, make sure it's not to big or small (use the templates as a reference)
  • we don't accept files that are directly image traced, they are a mess to work with and look sloppy
  • if you use any letters or numbers make sure to use the font document from the templates folder.
  • make sure that your SVG file names do not contain any special characters like +-.,!
  • upload the SVG files into the /other directory

Before contributing SVG icons, open them inside a text editor and check for the following features. If your icon contains any of these SVG features, please replace them before submitting a pull request!

- transform elements
- fill-rule:evenodd
- scientific e-notation

How to Replace

  • transform elements: there are several methods to remove this
    • delete all transform attributes
    • combine one of the transform objects with another one
    • un-group the objects
  • fill-rule:evenodd: these can just be deleted
  • scientific e-notation: replace them with the normal notation
