Icon Improvement Request - Should follow Macos Icon Guidelines

[masbaehr]

I think the icon should be reworked slightly to fit in MacOS Monterey

Now the icons is a bit bigger than others, and does not have the square

Maybe a white square could help like done for the iPad App

Hi @masbaehr! Oh yes. This has been a bit of an eye sore I've been meaning to fix.

I might see if I can do it this weekend! :)

How's this?

[masbaehr]

Looks good :D - The iOS icon does not have the shadows but to be honest i don't know if you are allowed to copy it 1:1 anyway.

[TimOliver]

Thanks! Yep, that's correct. Big Sur iconography has a different design language to iOS, so I took some design cues from how Google is adapting the Google Chrome app icon and applied them here.

I lived streamed the whole process if you want to see how I made it. :D

[masbaehr]

Nice work! Interesting to see how you done it. Is there a way to build without having to do the process with the Apple Dev Account? Or can you maybe build a beta i can test? Thanks

[TimOliver]

Yep! You can apply it to your current copy of YT Music as a custom icon. Just download that image above. :)

Here's how to apply it: https://9to5mac.com/2021/11/08/change-mac-icons/amp/

I think this has been fixed, right?

[TimOliver]

I think so. I went through a few more iterations in the end after the official Chrome update launched and I was able to compare it pixel for pixel, and that one's the one that's live in here now.

I guess if anyone else has any more suggestions for improving the icon, we can talk about it in a new issue. Thanks!
