Better icon

[varamsky]

I have always refrained myself from using this colour picker as it's icon looked ugly 😅 , but after deepin picker stopped working on my system for some reason I switched to this and I realise that this is better 😄

I would just like to put forward a feature request for a new good-looking icon for this 🙏

I'm pretty happy with Pick's icon -- I think Sam Hewitt did a great job -- but if you have alternative proposals I can always look at them, although I'm certainly not promising anything.

Okay.

But you could also check-out a darker theme, not only for the icon but also for the application.

It's your wish but just a suggestion... 😄

A dark theme is up to your OS, no? I'm using Ubuntu 20.04, with dark mode enabled, and so Pick is in dark mode the same as my other applications:

I also use ubuntu with dark mode but the application is white!!

Okay I checked it now.

The application theme works fine with yaru,yaru light and yaru dark but I use a theme called sweet dark so the application defaults to light theme!!

Is there a solution to this??

[stuartlangridge]

Ah, yes. This is a snap thing; they support specific themes but not all themes, yet. I believe that the snap people are working on a general solution for this, but until then this isn't actually anything I can do much about in Pick -- if you use a non-standard theme, then a snap won't reflect that theme perfectly, I'm afraid.

[varamsky]

Okay.

I didn't know about this snap issue. Would this have worked if it was an apt package??
And do you have this picker as an apt package?? (then I could switch to that instead!!)

[stuartlangridge]

I'm not planning on making a deb; I find constructing debs to be difficult and confusing, and I much prefer being able to distribute one version of an app which works everywhere, rather than many different versions for different OS releases and different OSes; that's why I chose snaps. If that doesn't work for you then Pick can be downloaded and run directly out of its own folder from a git clone, if that's helpful!
