Today I began building a native icon manager app for Linux.
On MacOS, I relied on IconJar to select icon sets that fitted different visual styles. It also gave me lightning-fast access to glyphs I would use over and over again, like arrows and chevrons.
While we have Norde Source for Linux, sadly:
- It crashes when you click-and-drag an icon
- It's slow to load
- It hasn't been updated in 4 years
Let's see where this goes!

The UI is coming along, bit by bit! Building templates is coming a bit more naturally too.

@chriswood Looking good! The color input should probably have its `valign` property set to `center`, and I wonder what the icon properties preview would look like if it was a full-height sidebar?

@bragefuglseth thanks for the alignment tip! Ooh if it’s possible to have an additional sidebar then that would be great! Do you know which widget I could use for that?

@chriswood @bragefuglseth I'd go with a Utility Pane (AdwOverlaySplitView). Not sure if Brage has something else in mind

I'd also say the new AdwDialogs might be worth trying out (instead of another sidebar)!

@GeopJr @bragefuglseth Yes, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
