Okay, I get this is totally not a priority, but this app icon bothers me enough that I don’t even want it on my phone’s Home Screen.

I bet you can see why.

Someone is working now to contribute a much better icon for us. Should be done soon.

Nice. Any plans for community icons?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That would be cool custom icons like Apollo had

I don’t get it either, what a weird post.

[–] Leftbones 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because of the white trim around the icon, which shows that it’s not actually the proper shape for an iOS app icon.

Sorry, that should be kind of obvious just from looking at it.

I actually never noticed it but now I’ve zoomed in on that picture I can see it.

Edit: actually nah I think that’s actually just compression from the screenshot, the other apps look the same and it’s impossible to see it when looking at it on my home screen.

Ohhh, I thought something on the animal was supposed to be wrong

Yeah, the white edges are a pretty common issue that happens when someone uses an icon template in Figma or Sketch, then exports the icon with the clipping mask enabled.

Gkd needs to remove the rounded corners from the icon graphic. The OS will round the corners for him.

This is good to know for my inevitable dive into Figma or Sketch in the future

[–] Ghostalmedia 3 points 1 year ago

Ditto for Android. Use the clipping mask in the design file to preview what the icon will look like, but when you export the graphic, just save out a square with regular old 90° corners.

Yes, but to be fair it looks okay in the Home Screen (no white trim).

[–] Leftbones 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s definitely still there, albeit less noticeable for some reason.

[–] ndr 2 points 1 year ago

You’re right, but it’s really minor.

[–] eoddc5 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s only in the TestFlight page tbh

[–] eoddc5 3 points 1 year ago

And only when it’s in dark mode

[–] GoldenSpamfish 3 points 1 year ago

oh yeah that is really annoying

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That’s the old icon. The new one looks completely different.
