Hi all,
I suggest adding some text that describes file format to mimetype icons
for archive files with size 64.
Few examples:
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/breeze-icons/uploads/e552bcdd2d9f7fd23a8f266e489f02c8/icons.svg
For example, when I have icon of plain tar file, there would be “tar”
written in the bottom-center part of icon. This part is currently only
filled with solid color.
I think that such modification would be useful for the user (the icon
gives the user enough information about the format) and it would also
utilize the empty solid-color area in icons that looks, at least for me,
“too empty”. Currently, the only difference between the all archive
icons is color and shape of the “zipper”.
Regards.
Jiří
