Source files for Limelight theme

Limelight

• This repository contains the source vectors for Limelight (.ai and .svg)
• I have included a CSV file which includes the names and bundle IDs of icons in roughly the same order as the icons are placed in the vector files (a,b,c,d,e).

Exporting

• I usually choose to export as a PNG with Photoshop.
• Naming convention is '[bundleid]-large.png'
• You can find bundle IDs here: https://offcornerdev.com/bundleid.html
• You can alternatively install BundleIDsXI or some equivalent to list the bundle IDs of apps installed on your device.
• More details: https://github.com/AnemoneTeam/Anemone/wiki

Proportions

• Relative to 900x900px canvas:
• 26px line width
• 40px Gaussian blur for glow

Exporting Icons Without Glow:

• Copy vector into 900x900px canvas
• Export as PNG with 'Smallest / Slow' compression

Exporting Icons With Glow:

• Copy vector into 900x900px canvas
• Make a duplicate of the vector on another layer
• Apply 40px Gaussian Blur to the duplicate, leaving the original intact
• Optionally, scale down icons to 180x180px to reduce file size
• Export as PNG with 'Smallest / Slow' compression

Automation

• When making Limelight I only created a folder with the colored non-glowing icons.
• I used Photoshop 'Actions' to automate the glow effect on the entire folder
• Same process for making all icons white
