The elegant thing about the current solution is that it always fits with the general style of the system theme. If we designed our own logo, it would probably often be a mis-fit because of color, dark/bright, scaling etc. On the other hand, we're having a lot of trouble with system icon themes, and @aryoda can sing lots of songs about that. So if anyone is feeling inspired to design something, why not try a custom "brand identity" for backintime with its own icon :) Cheers, Michael On 24.11.2022 08:28, Hakan Bayındır wrote:
As a person who uses "DeLorean DMC-12" label on his backup drives, I strongly support "Flux Capacitor" icon in the bug thread. The icon is not ideal, and can be improved IMHO.
Unfortunately, I'm no designer, and have no long time slot to design and build it. I might give it a try, but there's no promises attached, as always.
Cheers,

Currently BiT uses a standard icon as app icon: "document-save"
A unique distinctive icon would great as visual "trademark".
I have found one issue discussing this (stil open):
https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/215
Are there icon designer listening here who want to come along with proposals?
I think I could add this icon to the resource bundle to get rid of missing app and sys tray icons...
