chromium 19px browserAction icon is fuzzy

[beaufortfrancois]

As you can see, vertical and horizontal edges are not as sharp as they could be. Do you mind sharing the source so that I can update the 19px png icon?
I'm not sure if you use SVG, that's why I'm asking.

Last, but not least, this is a great project! Thank you!

Don't know if that is the source file but the fuzzy part is the white border when the image get shrunk.

Yes.

The source is https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/blob/master/doc/img/ublock.svg.

The border is 4-pixel wide when the icon is 128-pixel wide (4/128). This means ~0.5 pixel for 19-pixel wide. Setting the border to 1/19, translate into 8/128, which means a rather different icon than the reference one, and being as close to the reference one supersede not having sub-pixel rendering.

Please, do not submit pull requests, I am done spending time on this.

@gorhill
Just wanted your opinion. Is below whitish border expected? It used not to be the case with earlier versions..

[gorhill]

Is below whitish border expected?

It's exactly a 0.5-pixel wide border. Expected.

[harshanvn]

Hmmm..OK.
One last question reg. this, and the border color should be in white color? Is it not supposed to be red or whatever ublock icon color is...it looks rather weird.

[gorhill]

It's not white. It's in between red and white, because it is a 0.5-pixel wide white border when uBlock's icon is rendered at 16-pixel.

Would these be ok? I know you hate this issue. Sorry.
