Hi there,

I am trying to upload an app icon that is not black filled but has just the outlines. But when I import my svg, it always turns black even if reviewing the file, it isnt.

Is there any way to just delete the outline icon?
How can I solve this problem?

 

Cheers, Leonard :)

Hey @Leonard Thillmann

What the uploader does, is convert all colors to dark-blue. So my first assumption is that the SVG contains a white shape and isn't transparent? Can you check that and retry the upload? If this doest fix it, could you upload the SVG here and I will check it out.

 

Cheers,

Hi @Leonard Thillmann,

Thank you for reaching out! 

The black icon on the app toolbar is the outline icon that you uploaded, so the black-filled icon.

The icon with the outline and the characters is the color icon that you uploaded.
This icon is visible on the app toolbar panel (and on the Marketplace, if you publish your app).

  • In the app settings UI are you uploading the same SVG file for both outline and color icons?
  • If possible, could you share the SVG files that you upload, so that we can reproduce the issue on our end?

In the meantime, this article may provide some more context about how app icons are handled:

Hi guys, thank you for your quick replies.
I included the SVG file so you can check it out. I dont need a colored one, I just want to have this one.
I checked, but for me everything is transparent except the outlines.
Thanks a lot :)

Wait how can i attach SVGs here? I thought its fine if i do it via the “insert image” function?

Hey @Leonard Thillmann,

I don’t see an SVG? Am I correct to understand this issue is fixed?

In the Miro UI you must provide both values, but there’s no rule that says you cant upload the outlined version twice ;)

 

Cheers,

For people that find this thread in the future and face the same issue, here’s how I fixed it:

  1. I opened the svg in a vector editor
  2. merged all shapes into 1 (as you can see in my version there’s only 1 `<path/>`
  3. removed all fill/stroke colors (the shape will default to black)
  4. ran the result through SVGOMG

Hope this helps someone!
