Make icons created by Anbox higher resolution

added type::feature + 1 deleted label

I wonder how we would do this. The icons used right now come straight from the applications no? I guess icon themes would have to include more high-res versions of them if you'd do it properly.

regarding the "how to do a correct .desktop for that", here's how an entry currently generated by Anbox looks like:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=F-Droid
Exec=/usr/bin/anbox launch --action=android.intent.action.MAIN --package=org.fdroid.fdroid --component=org.fdroid.fdroid.views.main.MainActivity
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=/home/antoine/.local/share/applications/anbox/anbox-org-fdroid-fdroid.png

Do you know of a way to specify several icons by absolute path? Something like a Icon[256]=… property or similar?

The current icons are 48×48px

No, IMO either icons should be in SVG, or installed into standard icons directory with several resolutions and icon should be specified in desktop file by generic name, not absolute path

I'm not sure what you mean by installed? Note that these are autogenerated by anbox with user permission. We could add an extra XDG_DATA_DIR, resize the images in several sizes and put icons in the specific directories. That seems quite unconvinient, especially given that this would have to be coded in C++.

Alternatively, we could just use a 256px png with an absolute path, and it would just work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, installed, into system, /usr/share/icons/... There should be analog in ~/.local/share/... somewhere that is also considered when searching icons? Or XDG_DATA_DIR

Alternatively, we could just use a 256px png with an absolute path, and it would just work ¯\(ツ)/¯

Maybe!

Anbox has been dropped from Alpine completely, so I'm closing this.
