Help me help you... about frost HOT 6 CLOSED

How to contribute:

• If you want to directly contribute more than just two or three icons (or even contribute some code to other projects), I suggest you to learn how to use git (a programm)
• if you only want to contribute two or three icons, then posting the svgs as uploaded file, or in a gist ( https://gist.github.com ) should be enough, no need to learn git.

How to style the svgs

• ideal size of the svg would be 048x048 pixel.
• if it's not that size: no problem, we can scale other sizes up or down to 48x48 px
• the templates for svg files can be found in /templates. If your icon will have a square, rectangular or circle shape; please use one of these templates
• try not to use "transform" attributes inside the svgs.
  Unfortunately, Inkscape often adds those without consent.
  In that case:

How to remove transforms in Inkscape

• Open svg file in Inkscape
• Go to Edit -> XML Editor (or press CTRL SHIFT X )
• Find "transform" attributes in layers and delete them

How to move all objects altogether without creating another transform attributes

• Go to Edit -> Select All in All Layers (or press CTRL A)
• Go to Object -> Transform

In Transform panel

• Uncheck Relative move and check Apply to each object separately
• Set Horizontal and Vertical values according to your needs and
• click Apply

My personal prefered way of styling svgs in Inkscape / tips and tricks

• I am working in 48x48 px documents
• I always make the icon grid visible in inkscape by pressing "#" or View → show icon grid
• I always try to make the icon fit into the grid as good as possible. This will make the icon more sharp if exported to png.
• I use guide lines heavily. You can transform a normal line (or multiple lines of a form) into a guide line by pressing SHIFT+G. points can be placed more easily, because they snap to those guiding lines / to intersections of guiding lines / to intersections of guiding lines and icon grid.

You don't have to respect my personal preferred way of styling svgs

If you are not working in Inkscape, I can't help very much unfortunately...

I will look into git when I have time and thanks for pointing me to those templates, didn't notice them. I hope I can be of some use and contribute to this wonderful project.

You told me to learn git but I don't have the permission to push to this repository anyway...
What now? :D
