[Pouya Kary ✨]

Okay I really liked your idea on the half size shadow, it really become awesome:

> I understand. There's linux Inkscape but its macOS port is quite terrible (just tried to install it and it doesn't seem to respond to mouse clicks). The original Geany icon was created in Inkscape I believe but Inkscape also uses svg only as its format. I guess we'll have to live with the afdesign file.

I tried the latest version of Inkscape, will they've managed to make it actually run it on mac after quite long years (it still crashed more than 20 times, but at least it opened and buttons clicked), it seems that SVG is still not capable of having shadows like the ones mac needs for the background. If I ever saw a good quality vector editor capable of that much shadow generations, I will def migrate it there. 

And I still think it would be nice to have a separate repo just for the icon designs.

> Nah, it's everyone's editor, and it's not that I dislike any of your designs (in fact the opposite), I'm just sure it won't be touched by anyone for the rest of eternity so better to misuse the guy who's willing to do the work as much as possible now ;-).

Geany was one of the very first editors I had, and I even kept it when I didn't needed it for its beautiful icon :) And then many years passes and I contribute to who knows how many projects but then I come back to Geany and get a chance to literally change "that" icon and you say the change will last an eternity, It just ironically feels so surreal. I guess somethings just never become normal you know — I think if I ever open up Geany and see the icon there, I will feel so proud :)
