I agree, I'd also prefer to if people took the chance to change their app ids to something that looks better like .Devel since users will have to reinstall anyway due to the migration.
Some apps use Devel as a suffix to the app-id, some separating it with
a dot, and some not. Some use (Nightly) or (Developement) as either a prefix or suffix to the app name. Prefixes, Suffixes are not such a big deal since they are easy to change. I propose an emoji/ascii '☢️' Suffix that can be added with a single line straight from the flatpak-manifest, nothing else needed. (Note the space in the string) `"desktop-file-name-suffix" : " ☢️",` The plan forward would be that Nightly builds have their own Nightly icons to make it more distinct. The icons will be generated from the same .svg as the normal icon with Icon Preview [1] and committed to the repo. A lot of work has been done to achieve that in the Design Tooling Hackfests and its almost ready for mass adoption. I recall Boxes Nightly already uses [2] the new icon and could serve as an example. Ping the Design Team to get your Nightly .svgs [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/design/icon-tool [2] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-boxes/blob/3d525217d637dd87c7161dfdb541a0c18e4b41b9/data/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/org.gnome.BoxesDevel.svg Cheers, Jordan
