Updated Icon

[kgn]

I'm loving Helium! It's awesome, so I wanted to make a new icon for it so it fit in the dock better with the mac icon style. I hope you like it :)

I appreciate the contribution, but I going to stick with the current icon for now. People already know the app by the current colorful icon, so I think such a drastic change would hurt recognition.

@JadenGeller You should consider option to move the app to the menubar. The current icon does just a little bit out of place in El Capitan.

[JadenGeller]

That's definitely a reasonable thing to consider.

@net Thinking a bit about it, I'm hesitant to do that. The app does not always float on top—it can be temporarily disabled, or the app can be hidden—without a dock icon, it is difficult for users to find the window. I think that windowed apps really ought to show in the dock.

Is the motivation for menu bar support simply hiding the icon?

@JadenGeller Think of how much functionality could be moved to the menu bar. You could move all the menus there. You could have a hide/show toggle in the menu bar menu. Then you wouldn't have to select the helium window before accessing menu actions.

[JadenGeller]

But all apps require you to select the window before accessing the menu. Why should Helium act differently in this regard?

I'm talking about this type of menu.
