[Github-comments] [geany/geany-osx] A new icon for the macOS Big Sur / Monterey design language (PR #33)

[Jiří Techet]

Nice, thanks!

Maybe a few nitpicky comments (while there's a guy around that's willing to do the graphical stuff I personally hate doing ;-):
1. I'm not sure if the last version of the icon isn't "overshadowed" - I think I like the version where the shadow is just below the lamp better. I think such deep shadow like the shadow behind the handle and the genie isn't typical for macOS icons - if you want to keep some shadow there, maybe you could do something like in the Calculator app or Home app in macOS where the shadow is quite small and just helps the icon rise above the surface. I like the shadow and the gold glow at the bottom though - the bottom part of the icon would be much more empty without it.
2. The top part of the middle ruby seems to be cut off in the latest version of the icon - this glitch doesn't seem to be present in the Geany's original svg icon.
3. Is there anything essential in the committed afdesign file? Couldn't there just be the svg file as the only source? Would some essential information be lost by this so the icon couldn't be modified if some change was needed in the future just from the svg? Basically I'd like to avoid to be bound to any non-opensource tool for editing.
