What happened to the AppUI Phosphor icons package?

For AppUI version 0.3.0 the changelog says:

  • Added the support of Phosphor Icons through the com.unity.replica.phosphor-icons package.

This package doesn’t seem to exist, and I can’t find any references to Phosphor in AppUI so I’m wondering if the package just didn’t get publicly released or was it canned?

Hello! From what I know, this is an internal package.

If the package still exists, should it not have been released with AppUI? It doesn’t make any sense for it to stay an internal package.

Hello @redwyre,
Sorry for the confusion, indeed the public documentation should not guide through inaccessible resources.

In next releases of App UI (probably 2.0.0-pre.11), Regular variant of mostly every Phosphor icons should be provided directly in the App UI package. We will also remove any information in the documentation about the Phosphor Unity package that would confuse users.

As explained in the package documentation, the default theme App UI.tss just include a minimal set of icons. if you need to uses others Unity/Phosphor icons located in the package, you will need to add them directly into your own Theme/StyleSheet or interactively create your icons set using the Icons Browser.

Hope it will help you and others!

I actually liked the idea of a separate package, I was already thinking of doing the same for a set of icons I wanted to release along side a package of mine so I was planning on setting it up in a similar manner to maximum reuse (and in this case would allow phosphor to be used without app-ui)
