Full Color Icon Sources

• To modify an icon, edit the source SVG files found in subfolders within this directory (or create a new one using the Template).
• This folder is subdivided into subfolders that organize the icons sources by context
• To edit the icons you will need inkscape and you'll need python installed to run the render script.
• Files in the tmp folder are ignored by the render script
• Once you have completed your icon/edits, be sure to group each icon into a single object. Set the name for this object using the format {icon-name}-{size} (e.g. edit-delete-64)
  • Do this for each size of icon. This is crucial to rendering the icons without having redundant data.
  • If the final rendered icons are blank, double-check that the correct object is named.

render-fullcolor.py - the render script

• This script will render SVG icons, provided the source file has been modified. Icons are rendered as SVG so they correctly scale to larger scale factors automatically.
• You can render a single icon by passing the icon name to this script: ./render-bitmaps.rb <icon-name>

Template.svg - a blank icon template

• A blank template file for the fullcolor Pop icons (every icon follows this template.)
• The template has as Baseplate layer which will contain the necessary metadata for rendering an icon. (hidden by default)
• There is also a Margins layer which gives some example margins/sizes for icons following general aspect ratios. Try to design icons following these aspect ratios as a start, and adapt where required. The margins are setup to give each icon a consistent general apparent size in the grid of all icons.
• You must change the context and icon-name labels on the Baseplate for an icon to render properly (also hide the layer). Also, be sure to group each icon into a single object. Set the name for this object using the format {icon-name}-{size} (e.g. edit-delete-64)
