Thank you for your feedback! Upon looking at it again, I agree that the plain white background makes the icon appear too bright, especially considering the logo features some dark colors. Indeed, it may benefit from a background that complements the logo's tones more effectively. Here is the icon with the background shading and effects, as suggested by @oyarzun in the other thread: <img width="505" alt="icon-gradient" src="https://github.com/apache/netbeans-nbpackage/assets/2463597/2ade55ac-382a-4be3-afab-c9b57ccc4dd6";> Dock appearance:  While the logo with gradient looks appealing, opting for a simple color composition would ensure a more cohesive visual style. Generally, a gradient would be more suitable if the logo was monochromatic or if it also included shading and halftones. Therefore, I just had another idea, that I would like to discuss: <img width="506" alt="isometric-icon" src="https://github.com/apache/netbeans-nbpackage/assets/2463597/e6e8e7be-5145-48b0-adea-12a31665a0fa";> By maintaining the same plain colors, this version subtly introduces a sense of 'depth,' creating the impression that the 'isometric cube' is integrated within the app icon itself. Scaled down in the Dock, it almost conveys a sense of a gradient:  Please keep in mind that this is just an idea, and we may still decide to proceed with the other version. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
