Description Nikita Zlobin 2018-01-06 08:10:37 UTC
Current galculator icon, imho, is very brand-oriented, and there are few gtk icon themes, where galc icon doesn't look alien. It would be good to have some use flag, which patches desktop launcher, replacing icon=galculator value with something other.
Good values for use with disabled galc branding:
- accessories-calculator: seems to be standard - at least if you choosing icon in glade with option to show only standard icons, this, among few others, will be shown;
- calc: doesn't fall into same category as above, and rather looks like gnome-calculator. However, this name itself doesn't look DE-specific.

As for my taste, i would vote for accessories-calculator.

Use flag: could be "branding", but i already found it, described as enabling gentoo-specific branding, while here it would rather enable/disable galculator brand icon.

Possible modifications in ebuild:
src_prepare() {
  sed -e 's/Icon=galculator/Icon=calc/' galculator.desktop.in
}

Since it is possible for any user to just copy desktop launcher to ~/.local/share/applications and modify,
this still will be good to set default.

Misorinting), though it was for example, i meaned this:
sed -e 's/Icon=galculator/Icon=accessories-calculator/' galculator.desktop.in

Even after reading the report several times, I do not fully understand your report. From that what I understood, you prefer your own icon set. I think it is the best you do this in your overlay.

Please elaborate the ticket with the help of other users and open a new ticket, if I completely misunderstood you.
