Icon looks weird #37

Closed gregorni closed 1 year ago

The current icon, from far away or on low-res screens, looks more like a not-perfectly-round smiley than a round-with-some-perspective smiley (if that makes any sense). I think a new icon should be designed, either with more contrast between top and side, or with a different shape altogether.

I suggest asking in #appicondesign

mijorus commented 1 year ago

Hi @gregorni , the icon was redesign a just couple of weeks ago.

Could you please share some technical details about your setup so I can try to replicate it?

Thanks

(To be fair, I'm only using HI-Res displays)

Well, I'm using Fedora 38 beta, but I actually just meant the icon found on the Flathub page and the Readme.

sooo..... you are not the application icon in the app laucher?

Could it be due to compression?

No

I was actually more thinking just the shape of the actual icon: I'm guessing the icon is a thin, but 3-dimensional, circular cylinder. However, the top-and-front perspective makes the cylinder look like a 2-dimnesional oval shape.

One could also say the face looks like it has fat cheeks.
