More simplicity in app icon #85

This is a feature, improvements request. Application icon looks inconsistent, all other application have one instance of something, and this beautiful app have two of them. Two sand watches I mean.

I'm not too sure about this. The hourglasses intend to reflect the two timed stages that you will use in this app: work time and break time, and they are coloured and designed accordingly. I believe that the metaphor does make a lot of sense and an icon with a single sand watch would not reflect really what Flowtime is about.

A possibly compromise between the two would be a single hourglass that contains the green and the blue colors (i.e., blue sand on the top of the hourglass that is flowing into the green sand on the bottom of the hourglass). This would represent the tool well in that the more time that is invested in work ("blue sand"), the more time you get for a break ("green sand").

In addition to this, the Flathub listing also has several typos in the description:

The Pomodoro technique is efficient for tasks you find boring, but having to take a break when you are 100% concentrated in something you like might be annoying. That's why the Flowtime technique exists: take appropiate breaks without loosing you flow.

The fixed description should be:

The Pomodoro technique is efficient for tasks you find boring but having to take a break when you are 100% concentrated in something you like might be annoying. That's why the Flowtime technique exists: take appropriate breaks without losing your flow.
