Switch to vector icon

[jakwings]

Tested on Firefox 57, 58


<xul:image

The biggest icon provided by GM is not big enough. It should be at least 96x96 (192x192 or larger for high dpi displays).

Firefox can auto-sacle a big image (like 400x400) for GM, so a bigger icon always helps.

UPDATE: opened an issue for Firefox https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1422026

The first half has nothing to do with us. The second: We've got the assets we've got, I can't do much about that.

Is contribution welcome? I can try to make a bigger one for you.

[arantius]

We're open source, so the simple answer is yes.

I've grown pretty attached to this particular imagery over the years we've had it though so, how closely can you match the style?

Nice. Vectors hopefully?

[jakwings]

Yes, in svg format. We can also get a flatter one by removing the gradient effect.

Just to sanity check, what I see now. Both with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0; before is at 9d2783f and after is at 7f6f416.

Differences remain, but they're tiny, and the SVG form looks good at all sizes. Let's move forward!

Let's move forward!

Is there anything else, or is it just this issue needs to be closed and #2749 merged?

[arantius]

There's just some delay between when I make comments (real time) and when I build/test/merge/push/etc. -- the latter often bundles a few things.

I'll keep polishing it in my spare time. :D The svg icon is undoubtedly flat because it is hard to have fine-grain control of the gradience effect without utilizing embedded rasterized image.
