Missing Favicon

[GioF71]

Hello, and happy 2025.
It was some time that I wanted to open this very minor issue. There is no favicon for the lms application, it would be nice to add one. So it can be recognizable in toolbar bookmarks even when the text is removed like some people do.
Thank you for your attention, cheers!

Hello! Happy 2025 to you too!
Indeed, but that means we need to find an icon 😅

Can we start by borrowing the icons from the app "Supersonic"?
Here is the app icons at 512 px.
The author @dweymouth would probably not bother (at least I hope so) that until we have an unique icon

In 2013, when I started LMS, I wasn’t aware that Logitech was renaming one of its products Logitech Media Server (I’m not even sure which was named LMS first).
As long as our LMS remained under the radar, it wasn’t an issue, but I’ve been thinking about renaming it for a while now.
Maybe something like MusicShelter, with an icon that’s a very simple house with a music note inside.
I did some experiments with ChatGPT-generated ideas, but I find the result a bit too cluttered for a small browser tab icon.
I’ll keep you posted!

I think it would be good to have a name which highlights the fast/small/lean nature of LMS. Just look at the bloat in other music servers:

LMS is 10 to 20 times smaller than the others!

Gemini suggested:

Zephyr: A light, fast wind, suggesting smooth playback

I quite like that :)

For the record, my attempt so far was:

Displaying like this in chrome:

Why MusicShelter? Protective of music?

It's just an idea; I haven't settled on it yet. I have another project called FileShelter, where "shelter" makes more sense since you upload (entrust) files there

I quite like the icon!
MusicShelter is not the most straightforward name, but navidrome and alike aren't either. It would surely be more memorisable than LMS, in my opinion. Apart from that, it fits in your 'branding', which I like.
And it's most certainly better than some lame 'opensubsoniccppsuperleanbrowserappandserver' kinda project name!

I am keeping this thread open. Please don't hesitate to suggest some names/icons!
