NilsJerboa is a great app but has anyone considered changing the icon?
PropaGandalfyeah sometging matching it’s beautiful clean UI. Like a reduced jerboa head or smth.
Chozo"Reduced jerboa head" sounds like a fancy French dish that I can't afford to order.
Your not wrong lmao. And then you order it and get 5 grams of mice meat on a huge plate garnished with a few plants that you really can’t be sure if they are to eat or just to look at.
Hi im Mac.
Mac Suckerberg?
NewBreezeThere’s a fantastic app called Shortcut Maker, with which you can easily change any app’s icon.
I don’t think the Jerboa icon is very attractive myself. So I just took a lovely picture from my phone’s gallery. Looks much better now!
Apart from that I love Jerboa a lot. Especially the purple theme is a dream.
Built in to Nova Launcher too. But I just put the app in a circle and I’m happy.
Nova launcher was sadly bought last year by a Chinese data harvesting company. If you care about your digital privacy you should switch to something else.
God dammit, anything with decent feature parity?
Honestly I’m not sure. When they were first bought I switched briefly to one called OpenLauncher on fdroid. It’s good and similar but not actively being developed. I recently switched phones (to a Fairphone 4) and since have just been using the stock launcher that came with my phone though.
I dumped Nova for Lawnchair. It’s not as actively developed as Nova was, but it’s a decent replacement.
The icon has an animal which is known as ‘Jerboa’. But in Android one of the easiest tasks is to change the app icon and its name into any.
humanplayer2Yeah, but that won’t affect e.g. the icon of this sub.
FeralThey have a icon contest on the main page.
That’d be great but I can’t find it! Any pointers where that’s happening?
Nooo leave the cute thing
odeOne of the great traditions of FOSS is its refusal to adopt that corporate visual design ethos which turns every logo into an abstract solid-colour silhouette optimised for mobile rendering. I like GIMP’s plucky rodent, for example. A counter-example would be the sad [d]evolution of the Firefox.
Oh god no, pleas no
We can have nice design without the corporate bullshit. They aren’t the same thing.
The logo icon is the only good thing about jerboa. I switched to Connect and haven’t looked back.
Let’s just say it, the icon sucks ass.
No! It is great!
You’re great.
You’re not half bad your self😊
can I get in on this bromance?
Always room for awesome dudes like you!
Nooooooooo. Keep the icon. It is one of the things I like best about the app! And I’m not even joking.
JshKlsnI think every current Lemmy app for Android has a terrible icon lol
ericI’d like to see something similar to the Tusky app’s logo.
I like the icon.
Change the icon is the first thing that I have thought and I tried to create one. But a jerboa is so difficult to make as a good icon :c
nooo i love the icon :c
XYZinfernoI’m actually working on a few right now! I’ll try and have em done by the end of today, and I’ll see if I can post em to this community
Awesome! Please share
Of course! I made a post here: lemmy.world/post/2002082 I just have the icons I made so far saved on a google drive folder
But yeah, like I mentioned on the post, if there’s any kind of icon you want designed, feel free to ask and I’ll see what I can whip up
Custom Jerboa App Icons! More Details in Post - Lemmy.world
I’m a huge fan of the Jerboa app, and it’s the closest experience I’ve gotten to RiF from any of the Lemmy apps. It’s been a pleasure to use despite the occasional hiccups, but one thing that I thought I could personally contribute to was the icon for the app itself. I thought I’d share them with the community, in case if anyone wanted to download them to use for themselves :) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yd17Be_1HaCPYNje_fjKspQ1hpWDDiiS?usp=sharing [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1yd17Be_1HaCPYNje_fjKspQ1hpWDDiiS?usp=sharing] The above Google Drive link contains the five icons featured in the post, and if you guys have any ideas, suggestions, or specific assets you want, feel free to let me know and I can add them to the folder or reply with it in a comment. Things like color changes don’t take much time at all, so don’t hesitate to ask for something custom!
