Micah Ilbery :sloth_coffee:<p>I'm wanting to get back into icon design. Specifically with GNOME style icons, but I feel super rusty at all of this. I'm trying to get back into the groove with inkscape and read up on the latest HIG as well as look at some recent examples from the GNOME design team. There's some amazing talent there and I feel so far behind. Idk, I hope I can get the style figured out soon and make myself useful.<br><a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GNOME</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/icons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Icons</span></a> <a href="https://slothsneed.coffee/tags/inkscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inkscape</span></a></p>
Steven Rosenberg<p>I'm sure there are better screen-shot apps than whatever is the default in GNOME, but I never got around to figuring that out, or getting it to allow me to create images in formats that weren't PNG.</p><p>In KDE, Spectacle is far and away better.
