As I said in issue #8 , not every icon can do this (and dropbox doesn't).

Here's a quote of what I said in issue #8 :

But, in order to do so, you cannot simply "zoom" the icon: you have to carefully select what icon can do that (because, for example, it needs to have more than one object in the logo -- the hangouts has them, but the dropbox does not), and to carefully design them because otherwise the result would be poor.

Btw, I'm sorry but I'm not moving from the long shadow design guideline. I know that there are so many iconsets with this style on the play store. But firstly this is supposed to work seamlessly also on Linux, and secondly my first goal is to avoid the poor design that I often see when the icon doesn't receive the care that it deserves. :)

Btw, libre icon B is there but it's not finished (so it doesn't have to be used as a reference). The idea was to add the shadow as well, but I stopped because I wasn't satisfied in advance.
