Contribution Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the icon repository! To ensure smooth collaboration, please follow these guidelines. Your contributions help make this project better.

Table of Contents

Icon Specifications

Format

  • SVG Format Required: All icons should be submitted in SVG format. If an SVG version is unavailable, a PNG version will suffice, and a WEBP version will be generated accordingly.
  • Automatic PNG and WEBP Generation: PNG and WEBP versions are generated automatically from the SVG (or PNG) files using the following settings:
    • Dimensions:
      • Height: 512 pixels
      • Width: Auto (maintaining aspect ratio)
    • Transparency: Enabled

Cropping

  • Remove Empty Space: Crop any empty space from your SVG files to ensure the icon is properly centered and sized. You can use SVG Crop to assist with this.

Light and Dark Versions

  • Monochrome or Single Primary Color Icons:
    • If your icon is monochrome, please provide additional versions if applicable:
      • -light Version: For icons primarily dark or using black as a main color, provide a -light version for light backgrounds.
      • -dark Version: For icons primarily light or using white as a main color, provide a -dark version for dark backgrounds.
    • Examples:
      • A black logo should include a -light version where black is inverted.
      • A multicolored logo using black should provide a -light version with the black replaced.
    • Tool Recommendation: DEEditor can help adjust icon colors if needed.

File Naming

  • Kebab Case: Name your files using kebab case (lowercase words separated by hyphens). For example, "Nextcloud Calendar" becomes nextcloud-calendar.svg.
    • Note: Filenames are automatically converted to kebab case, but please double-check your naming to avoid conflicts or errors.

Quality Requirements

  • No Upscaled Images: Icons should maintain their original quality without artificial enlargement.
  • No Embedded Raster Images in SVGs: Ensure that SVG files are true vector graphics without embedded raster images.

Git Commit Messages

  • Use Semantic Commits: Follow the format (scope): description:
