Icon for System Workbench for STM32

[Jacajack]

I made an icon for for System Workbench for STM32 - an Eclipse based IDE for developing software for STM32 ARM cores.

So, this is the icon itself:

Also, the butterfly is not symmetrical, because the original one isn't either. Of course, I can change that if that's a problem.

I tried to follow guideline, and I'm willing to fix anything, just please let me know what's wrong 😄

Hi, thanks for your contribution. Can you please change the symbol colour to f9f9f9ff (white L249)?

[Jacajack]

Sure, I completely forgot about that, but there it is. If I may ask, is there any specific reason we shouldn't use white color in symbols?

Numix Circle icons are designed without using eye-jarring/fully saturated colours. Same for white and black where there's saturation per se.
There's no specific reason which would generally rule out pure white for icon design, at the end of the day it's an arbitrary decision you take for a coherent design. For the Numix base theme for instance we use full-blast white.

However if you want to have darker/brighter structures on a solid colour surface (like the bezel shadow on the Numix Circle baseplate) you can't go with pure white/black obviously.

@palob I see, thank you for response. :)

By the way, I recently came up with an idea, that I'd be really nice to have some folder icons with mime-type based symbols on them (like for C, JavaScript or Perl). Obviously, this is not necessary, but for sure it would help to manage some project directories and make them more good-looking.

By mime-type based symbols I mean something like this (I made this one few minutes ago):

I don't really know how to make those yet, that's why it's ugly...

If you like the idea itself, I can create some icons like the one above. (right after, I learn how to deal with ones like these)

What do you think about it?

Sorry for going off topic!

Sure, if you're serious about this it's probably best to discuss this in an https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme issue.

This might be related as well numixproject/numix-folders#78.

Hi, now I've seen the icon along with others I think the symbol looks slightly too big.

Can you try a size 26x24 (w x h) located at X10 Y13 ?

@palob Hi, sure, there you go :)
