I'd like to propose to ship v0.47 with a refreshed application
icon.
The proposed icon [1] includes special versions for low resolutions
guaranteeing a sharp rendition and recognizability. Scaling down or
rendering a high detail SVG into a small canvas ends up blurry and
unreadable [2].
The icon feels close to being native on all the major platforms. The
added high detail icon will make the Mac OS X builds feel less alien
on that platform too.
Sorry not to have followed on that on the mac side. I saw the icon on
your blog a very long time ago but never got around to include it.
Independently of what will happen on other platforms, this new icon is
now committed to SVN for OS X (it is better than the current icon
which is different from the other platforms already anyway).
I personally love the inky feel that the very black color + purple
glint gives to this icon. I almost smells indian ink. I find the Tango
palette one to be "flatter" even though I recognize it might fit
better with the rest of the UI.
Thanks.
