I've been fighting with my feeling that the icon is slightly wrong after my last update and the rational part of me saying nobody will actually notice. The rational part lost.

After making the bottleneck a bit thicker in the last update the curve going from the tip of the bottleneck to the bottom of the lamp got stretched and as a result, less curved. Now it looks as if the lamp was hit by a hammer from the bottom-left side. In the first patch I made the curve a little more curved.

The second patch changes the black color of the inside of the bottleneck to a dark-lamp color (the black color is a bit disturbing because nothing else is black in the icon).

Before:
96old

After:
96

(Yes, nobody normal won't notice the difference, it's just me.)

If this is considered OK, I'll regenerate the bitmap icons.

After making the bottleneck wider (by shifting the curve to the left), the
curve became flatter which looks strange. Make the curve a bit more round
in the middle.
The (almost) black color of the inside of the bottleneck is a bit too high
contrast and doesn't fit the rest of the icon (the only black part of it).
Use the "lamp yellow" as the base and lower the L in HSL representation of
the color so it just looks as darker lamp material.

Thats just authentic, all good magik lamps are a bit battered and dirty, thats why their owners rub them to find the Geany :)

LGTM.

I gave it one week of testing on myself and I think the icon is OK now. I've regenerated the pngs and ico.
