Pause/play icons hard to see on Dock icon

[chriscraig]

First, I just want to say I love this app and am very thankful to the maintainers.

With that out of the way I've noticed that the pause/play icons are hard to see on top of certain album art (e.g., lots of dark gray in the image) in the Dock when that preference is chosen. I recommend that a high contrast outline be added to the icon.

Agreed. I'm really bad at graphics, anyone? :-)

Best I could do on short notice was a white shadow, but someone with some graphics skills could just make a nice graphic I could blend.

Is this better than nothing?

@paullj1, want to take a shot? Here's what produces the above:

Yeah, I kind of thought the same thing but I didn't want to add another image to the project. I can play with a few things, but it won't be for a few days.

That said, I think the shadow @nriley tried looks good.

[paullj1]

I implemented that shadow and then made it much more distinct. I think it looks pretty good. Plus now you'll have the option of removing the play/pause entirely:

Looks good. Might be a few days before I get to this as I'm having a very busy week!

No worries, we've all been there!
