Update icon to fit macOS 11+ style #674
Comments
Sorry, but this issue is out of scope for the project; this is the logo/icon that has been used and will continue to be used. I would say that it is not true that all macos apps adhere to the "squircle". |
It's true that a minority of apps haven't updated their icon, but it is part of the Human Interface Guidelines that iOS and macOS (since 11) share the same icon shape. A simple white background would be enough. |
It fits its own style across all supported platforms. cc @GBKS |
Is it possible to define different icons for different platforms? For the web, there are even special tools to create all the different icons needed for all browsers and operating systems. Could we do the same for this application? |
The code in our codebase, which is related to a macOS Dock icon, is macOS-specific already. |
call the mathematicians to prove that a circle is a more
legit squircle than that xcode icon over there in OP post

Would look silly with a bitcoin icon, but that's an extra "detail" to add
on top of the regular squircle (or rounded rectangle):

I believe this issue should be closed because bitcoin-core is not a first party UI to the Mac anyway (it uses Qt) therefore making the app icon conforming to the Human Interface Guidelines, in a way, is wasted effort. To add to the discussion, according to Apple: "In macOS, app icons share a common set of visual attributes, including a rounded-rectangle shape, front-facing perspective, level position, and uniform drop shadow." https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/app-icons |
Current Bitcoin Core icon does not fit into the rest of macOS since 11 Big Sur, it should be updated to an appropriate squircle.
