Icon Generator

Are you tired of spending hours creating all of the different icon versions you need for your app?

Well, dry your eyes little-one.

Icon Generator effortlessly generates all of the iOS icon versions you'll ever need.

Need splash images? We gots them here: https://github.com/KatanaCode/motion-splash_generator

Installation

You'll need to install imagemagick first:

brew install imagemagick

Then add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'motion-icon_generator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install motion-icon_generator

and add it to your Rakefile:

require 'motion/icon_generator'

Usage

Usage is super-easy:

1. Create a template icon image and save it as resources/icon-template.png. This should be about 1024x1024 pixels.
2. run this rake task to create your icons rake icons:generate. After a few glorious seconds you should see a new directory filled with icons called simply "icons/"

Configuration

You can also set the following environment variables to change the default behaviour:

Template image name/path

rake icons:generate TEMPLATE="~/Desktop/my_template.png"

Target directory name

rake icons:generate TARGET="resources" # we do this, but it's naughty!

Adding extra icon types.

Icons are defined in icons.yaml. If you'd like to add your own custom icons on a per-app basis, create a file named config/icons.yaml and stick some YAML in there.

If you see an icon type that we're missing, please create a pull request or an issue.

We would really appreciate if someone could contribute the default icon sizes for Android.
