One 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.

They have a icon contest on the main page.

That'd be great but I can't find it! Any pointers where that's happening?

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.

Revert to v6.2.19 and disable auto update - still works great on Android 13/One UI 5.1.

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.

I think every current Lemmy app for Android has a terrible icon lol

Yeah something matching it's beautiful clean UI. Like a reduced jerboa head or smth.

"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. Then you eat it for half an hour (you don't want to gorge), leave the plants on the side just to be safe and smile at the waiter with a forced look on your face and say that everything was so wonderful. Afterwards you go to McD's to get properly stuffed.

I'd like to see something similar to the Tusky app's logo.

Nooooooooo. Keep the icon. It is one of the things I like best about the app! And I'm not even joking.

I'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

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

You reached the end

Jerboa is a great app but has anyone considered changing the icon? | Spyke
