Polish app icon #20

Closed bertob closed 5 months ago

bertob commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug

App icons with baked-in shadows are a problem in app store UIs because you end up with double shadows when the programmatic shadows are added. See the Flathub guidelines for more detail: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/appdata-guidelines/quality-guidelines

You could probably just mask the shadows in this case so only the part overlaying the bottom card is visible (this is what some other icons do). If you need help with this or any other icon design stuff, feel free to file an issue against app-icon-requests, or ask on Matrix in #appicondesign:gnome.org

To Reproduce

Expected behavior

No double shadow :)

Additional context

No response

Thanks! I wanted to check out the App Icon Requests repo as I think the app icon could generally profit from a GNOME designer looking at it. Unfortunately, the link you provided results in a 404 error, and I'm not able to find this repo otherwise. Does the link work for you? Maybe it's a GitLab bug?

It definitely exists, but I think it's only visible if you're logged in :)

I'm logged in and can access other repos of the Design team (e.g. app-illustrations, app-mockups, ...), but app-icon-requests is not in the list of their repos and the link leads to a 404 error for some reason.

The link started working now magically - I opened a ticket here.
