Help wanted: create new icon

[igo95862]

Current icon:

It was done very quickly and has a droplet not a bubble.

During testing the notifications it turned out that it looked very bad on dark background.

Requirements for new icon:

1. Look good on both bright and dark themes.
2. Formats: 48x48 PNG and vectored SVG
3. Not contain any trade marks or copyrighted images

How about this? Inspiration comes from a cold glass of amber beer!

Or this?

I found many possible icons that with a bit editing could be candidates ... but some are maybe copyright protected and must be modified, to make them useable....

hmm hope this could help you or inspirate you...!

If someone would ask me, I would say that I woul like when the icon would be blue colored...!!

I tried to doodle some ideas for the icon. I think the latest is the closest to the concept of "bubble jail" but give me your opinion about it, if you have more ideas you can tell me to see if I can doodle more icons.

Pretty good art. Reminds me of some vintage fairytale illustrations.

Not sure why people make associations with beer?

I tried to explore the idea that the other dude posted. xD
But yeah maybe more exploration is needed.

Does Linux have icon overlays? This way, an overlay (of a bubble) could be used with normal app icons. Then in the app menu, apps run with bubblejail would have their icon shown inside of a bubble. Would be nice if this could extend to the application itself. Then it would be more obvious which apps are running sandboxed.

I tried to make more icons. You tell me what do you think it might work @igo95862

@xiota I don't know if that's possible, seems like something it may vary depending of the desktop enviroment. I had the idea of copying the icon executable and then modifying it by adding the bubble on top of it. After that the modified icon gets store on a bubblejail folder or something like that.

@gelatinbomb I like the ones on the right that look like sketches. The round bubble with a lock (second row, fourth from left). It's simple and conveys the point. A similar design might be to replace the lock with three or four vertical curved line "reflections", to make it look like a "bubblejail".

Maybe give it a bluish tint. Then the app icons can be desaturated slightly and put inside. If there's no built-in way to overlay icons, it could probably be done without too much trouble with ImageMagick or PIL. Maybe put the modified icon inside the instances folder?

I wonder whether applications would use the modifed icon if it's redirected inside the sandbox to /usr/share/pixmaps/appname.png.
