I also got an merge request for an icon and merged it. So the current icon in git looks like this: https://github.com/llelectronics/web...our-webcat.png

That one looks great too!

Maybe we can modify that and insert/overlay the yellow eye of Morpog to that.

Something like that?

Nice one. Decrease the range of the yellow glow and up the transparency for the countries so that they are a tad more visible. Then you're good to go ;)

Be careful about the countries though. Making them too apparent might make things too cluttered, but they should be visible enough to send a message that this icon is a browser icon. Maybe consider making the background more bluish...it could ruin the contrast to the eye but the background might be a little too dark right now.

Don't wanna stay to much "off-topic", but great job on the icons guys :D

@Watchmaker: Unfortunately I don't have a svg of it - This time I purely did it in Photoshop where you can also work with vectors, but not save it as pure vector graphics. I'm about to learn GIMP since I'm not the biggest fan of Photoshop & Illustrator anymore.

Colours are always difficult and proper Sailfish icons aren't that easy to make (simple, flat graphics which shouldn't look cheap). Here some advice for Sailfish ones:

-Colour gradients on background
-Foreground (in your case the cat-head) flat colours and design, no or only simple gradients, no patterns
-Make sure you keep a certain margin between background & foreground (see original Sailfish icons as reference)

Since I don't want to spam this thread with graphics stuff, write me a PM if I can help you with anything.

Now let's put the focus back on WebCat browser :)

Wait just saw your app uploaded on Harbour, WTF...

tinywebbrowser was rejected twice cause it eats battery when phone is idle cause of a bug in webkit AFAIK.

What did you do to get it allowed?

Did you disable webkit when app is not active in some way? or have they changed policy latest days :eek:

I did nothing in particular except uploading the app.

got this last week:

I'm sorry, but I have to reject your application again, still because of too high power consumption. It seems that /usr/lib/qt5/libexec/QtWebProcess process is still waking up when tiny we browser is minimized. It may be that browser engine is not suspended properly in minimized state.


maybe they did not check that in your case then. Seems like a webkit issue to me so should be a problem for all.
