The previous Element-1 (full badge) approach produced a visible warm-grey #1d1d1b square inside the cool-dark #1a1a23 sidebar — the two near-blacks differ enough in hue to read as a foreign rectangle in the slot. The right answer (third time lucky): the SpaceSidebar's 40×40 rounded-[20px] tile already IS the dark squircle frame. logo.png now composites the bare gradient mark at 75% on a transparent canvas: the sidebar's tile bg shows through, the 25% padding keeps the mark off the squircle edges and clear of the active-state ring, and there is no foreign-bg colour conflict. Refactored writeMaskablePng → writeCenteredMarkPng to share one code path between the maskable PWA (opaque #1d1d1b background, 60% mark) and the in-app logo (transparent background, 75% mark). Both use the same composition pipeline; only canvas / scale / bg differ. Only logo.png regenerated; other 21 outputs byte-identical (determinism gate verified twice).

# Icon Generator
|
|
|
|
Regenerates every brand artefact from `assets/brand/*.svg`:
|
|
|
|
- macOS `.icns`, Windows `.ico`, Linux per-size PNGs (`packages/desktop/build/`)
|
|
- Tray icons for all three platforms (`packages/desktop/resources/`)
|
|
- Web favicons, PWA manifest icons, maskable, in-app `logo.png` (`packages/web/public/icons/`)
|
|
|
|
## When to run
|
|
|
|
After changing any file under `assets/brand/`, **or** after bumping `sharp`,
|
|
`png-to-ico`, or `png2icons` in the root `package.json`. Commit the diff in
|
|
the same PR.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
pnpm gen-icons
|
|
git status # review which files changed
|
|
git add packages/desktop/build/ packages/desktop/resources/ packages/web/public/icons/
|
|
git commit -m "chore: regenerate brand icons"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Stage explicit paths rather than `git add -A` — the generator only writes to those three directories, and an unrelated working-tree change shouldn't accidentally land in a "regenerate icons" commit.)
|
|
|
|
## Determinism
|
|
|
|
Output is byte-stable for a given lockfile. The same SVGs in produce the
|
|
same PNG/ICO/ICNS bytes out, every time, on every OS — Sharp uses resvg
|
|
internally and writes deterministic PNGs, png-to-ico and png2icons don't
|
|
embed timestamps.
|
|
|
|
**Caveat:** byte-stability is *not* guaranteed across version bumps of
|
|
the three encoder deps. After a Renovate / dependabot PR upgrades any of
|
|
them, run `pnpm gen-icons` once and commit the resulting diff inside the
|
|
same PR. That follow-up commit isn't an artwork change — it's encoder
|
|
output drift, and gating it inside the dep PR keeps the artwork-change
|
|
git history clean.
|
|
|

## Source SVGs
|
|
|
|
| Brand source | Drives |
|
|
|---------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------|
|
|
| `assets/brand/app-icon.svg` | Every full app icon, all favicons, PWA |
|
|
| `assets/brand/mark.svg` | Win/Linux tray, in-app `logo.png`, PWA maskable inner mark |
|
|
| `assets/brand/mark-mono-dark.svg` | macOS menu-bar template (alpha + black) |
|
|
|
|
`Artworks-Backspace/` is the design archive — never read by this script.
