Hi all,
At the moment the appstream-builder requires a 48x48px application
icon[1] to be included in the AppStream metadata. I'm sure it's no
surprise that 48x48 padded to 64x64 and then interpolated up to
128x128 (for HiDPI screens) looks pretty bad. For F28 and higher I'm
going to raise the minimum size to 64x64 which I hope people realize
is actually a really low bar. I'm not sure whether to mass file bugs
or just try to contact maintainers directly.
Most maintainers are not graphic artists. Moreover if they had available an higher resolution icon, they would already ship it.
I also don't think that nagging upstream about these missing icons is really welcome - most of the times even upstream doesn't have a graphic artist available.
I believe the correct way to solve this issue is that Fedora Design team (if available) provides new icons to upstream.
This can be a long process and therefore I don't think it is safe to raise the minimum size requirement to 64x64 any time soon.
Bye,
Andrea
