    Well, I gave myself a fun little short project (took maybe 30 minutes) today where I replaced every app icon in the Dashboard of Cloudron. Here's what it looks like:

    6625a77e-e899-49b6-9476-ebc9c4f2d680-image.png

    I used FlatIcon's website, filtering to Free icons and for Linear Colour as the style. I was surprised at how many fairly accurate icons I could find, even one for my email 'autoconfig' app which I had doubted I'd be able to find a good icon replacement for. Even found separate ones for the two websites which aren't really websites at all but just redirect visitors to another externally hosted website on a different domain (two clients are realtors who just wanted their own short marketing domain name for email and then having the web address forward to their actual realtor's webpage for their own listings), so they're literally just the LAMP app with a single html file which does an immediate redirect.

    I may make further changes, or heck I may even revert back to the default app icons in the future, but I thought this was a nice little distraction to change the overall look of the Dashboard by replacing all the app icons with new ones, and ensuring a bit of consistency where possible between them all too so that none of them stood out from others. I think it went fairly well. 🙂 Just wanted to share to maybe inspire others if they think they'd benefit from some extra bit of flair in their Dashboard.

      Neat.

      They'd look better on a dark background 😉

        You can do that with the Surfer app too.

          @jdaviescoates Oh that's interesting, I didn't consider that app for that. I guess that might be nicer as Surfer is much lighter than LAMP. Curious... what is the process to achieve that in Surfer? Same as LAMP in the file management area?

            @d19dotca yes, just drop the files in the public dir.

                @jdaviescoates Awesome, thanks for the tip! I just replaced the LAMP apps with Surfer for the redirect role, that saves some resources off MySQL and Redis which is nice. Thanks again. 🙂
