Retreat to the safety of CRT monitors and good old-fashioned retina busting pixels. I just uploaded a new holotape to the terminal. Calibrate your Pip-Boys and tune in:

GNOME app icons were meant to be pixels. None of that SVG BS.

@jimmac How lovely to see both Keypunch and Fretboard in there!

@jimmac Is clicking the [CRT] button supposed to make the Pip-Boy disappear completely though?

@bragefuglseth those darn irradiated bugs!

@jimmac how about a custom mouse cursor?

@bragefuglseth Pip-Boy bug squashed. The terminal is stable again. Ad victoriam.

@jimmac the fact there’s an Element icon and not a Fractal one is a little

@afranke Pip-Boy firmware upgraded. Custom cursor module installed. If you can read this, you're not a feral ghoul. Probably.

@afranke Terrible omission. Will be addressed asap!

@jimmac These are lovely! I'm a GNOME user; is it possible to actually switch to this icon pack? I think it would be therapeutic.

@jimmac This looks great!
Where can I find this nice Pipboy shader? Would it work on a <canvas> as well? -

@sanqui Vault-Tec protocols mandate I seal this door immediately, because while we can survive total atomic annihilation, no therapy can cure the harm caused by long exposure to icon themes.

While the Pip-Boy source is linked on the page, be warned the mandatory data-stream may cause permanent retinal scarring.

@jimmac Hell yes for unobfuscated and unminimized code!!1

@jimmac I do see the advantage of pixel-perfect icons, though there is a place and time for SVGs: fractional scaling.
SVGs can be a bit blurry at some scales, and a proper raster will sometimes look better. For example, in LibreOffice, the SVG icons are quite blurry but that could be down to the renderer being used.
I wish we could bring back binary icon formats, but with modern image compression and embedded vector renderings side by side with the rasters.
There's probably some compression gain to be had as well by compressing all these images together.
