Zotero 7: Symbolic icon isnt recognized as such by Gnome

antenoraguiar

the symbolic svg isnt really recognized as symbolic by gnome

according to Gnome, it should have a fill: #000000, but the SVG doesnt have any fill at all.

this can be fixed by adding

<style>polygon{fill:#000000;}</style>

in the svg file


i discovered that trying to figure out why the flatpak isnt using the actual logo (like pointed out here and here) and I am starting to believe that maybe it is the lack of a scalable colored icon from upstream, but i am yet to try and prove that hypothesis.

OK, I've added that (as an inline style):

Let us know if that works for you.

antenoraguiar

it works! Thanks!

inline style is actually better as it is lighter to the file.

Could you include an SVG version of the colored icon as well? I think when it is needed, it is just falling back to the best (and only) scalable version it finds, which is the symbolic one

We've already answered this in a thread you posted to:

It's a raster icon. It's not a vector icon.

antenoraguiar

can i try to vectorize it?

antenoraguiar

already done it. all i need are the right colours.

the precise text put in the logo, in the little page behind the Z, would also be good.

i dont know where to host, so here is the svg code

i tried to put the colors the closest I could. the text behind is completely different.

dstillman

OK, but that's not our icon, and please note that you do not have permission to distribute that.

As I say, the icon is a raster icon with different versions for different sizes. If we wanted to create an SVG version other than the symbolic one, we would've done so. Can you explain why you're looking for an SVG version of the color icon? What are the situations where you're seeing the symbolic icon where you don't think it's appropriate?

dstillman

Do I understand correctly that you're using the third-party Flatpak, and you have a screen resolution that's causing it to use the symbolic icon instead of the 128px version?

We distributed a 256px version of the previous icon, so we should probably at least include a 256px version of the new one.

oh, my intention was merely to help. feel free to delete my comment :D

yes, your assumption is correct, about the flatpak
