@jimniels @qlp the state of icons on macOS makes me mad, they used to be so good with so much character and visual differentiation, it’s all the most mid visual soup now

@thomasfuchs @qlp and to top it all off, trying to make it better yourself (customization/skinning) is harder than ever

@jimniels @thomasfuchs I'm glad that the versions of Handbrake, VLC, Audacity and Kdenlive use icons that aren't blah

@jimniels @thomasfuchs In contrast, these are the icons for the installed apps on my Fedora 40 laptop.

@qlp @jimniels @thomasfuchs Just personal taste, but to me, Handbrake and Audacity are two of the ugliest icons I’ve ever seen. Both apps have, in my opinion, also horrendous UX. A pity , as both are practical apps. If you want a trio, add Gimp to the pack.

@dmian @jimniels @thomasfuchs I'm not a fan of either app icons or UX either, but my experience with audio editing has been with Audacity (because, for a long time, I couldn't afford something like Audition).

I'm just glad that at least they aren't bland logos with a white, black or solid color squircle as a background. They stand out, which is both good and bad.
