Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.

Custom Jerboa App Icons! More Details in Post (lemmy.world)

I'm a huge fan of the Jerboa app, and it's the closest experience I've gotten to RiF from any of the Lemmy apps. It's been a pleasure to use despite the occasional hiccups, but one thing that I thought I could personally contribute to was the icon for the app itself. I thought I'd share them with the community, in case if anyone wanted to download them to use for themselves :)

The above Google Drive link contains the five icons featured in the post, and if you guys have any ideas, suggestions, or specific assets you want, feel free to let me know and I can add them to the folder or reply with it in a comment. Things like color changes don't take much time at all, so don't hesitate to ask for something custom!

Pretty cute. I'd like the Vanced ones without the circle, just transparent.

Well either way, now the Jerboa icon looks out of place in my folder of Lemmy stuff since everything else is uglier.

Thanks! Just added the circle-less vanced ones to the folder

[–] WhoRoger 3 points 1 year ago

Dope. Now I kinda want all my icons in this Vanced Light style...

Looks good!

These look awesome! This might be asking too much, but I'll try anyway: I use the Whicons icon pack for the minimalist, monochrome white theme. Would you be able to make a version of these with just the plain white outline and transparent background?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

arcticons dark already has that icon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

That's not bad actually, impressive how many FOSS apps that icon pack covers. It's a bit of a different style to whicons still.

I think something like the top right icon in the image, just without the background circle, would be perfect.

Thanks! Apologies for the delay, was out this entire morning and just got back to my PC. Two files should be added to the drive folder named Lemmy_WhiteOutline and Lemmy_WhiteFill. One of the two should be what you're looking for, but if not, just lemmy know

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Awesome! This looks great, thank you so much! Perhaps Jerboa should include these various community icons natively...

How can I use these icons?

[–] health437682 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

If you’re using nova launcher you can long press any icon on your home screen and edit the icon

You don't need to sign up for Lemmy Premium? Sweet.

Neat! I've been using Nova for a decade now and I never knew that one!

Just like old times

I use KISS, which I do not think has this feature. Bummer!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Me too, would love to use any of these icons

[–] xyzinferno 2 points 1 year ago

Same goes for SquareHome as well, the Android Launcher that I use. I'm not sure if stock android has the option to let you edit app icons, but most custom launchers should
