#11453: App icons are not retina-ready, missing resolutions -------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: Mike | Owner: stwitt Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: general | Version: 2.3.2 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: os=macosx | -------------------------+-----------------------Comment (by stwitt): This is the situation on my system: - Dock icon: [[Image(Bildschirmfoto 2021-01-12 um 22.19.12.png)]] - Finder list: [[Image(Bildschirmfoto LyX in Finder.png)]] - Finder property tab: [[Image(Bildschirmfoto 2021-01-12 um 22.36.07.png,412px)]] IMO we should stay with Lydia! I didn't get the message from Mike. What should be done exactly? I can do something (e.g. search for a recipe in internet) but this is beyond my knowledge currently.
Sorry. Currently my access to trac seems somehow broken, thus replying here: On all systems, including the old non-retina ones, the screen realestate afforded to the icons is suboptimal. The resolution is simply too low for retina displays and the very quality of the icon itself is a bit lacking. The higher retina resolution is just one of nice desiderata. But when tackling that, one might as well clean up the icon construction and increase usability! When I switch apps via Dock or Tab-switcher, with many applications open, it gets ever harder to distinguish different apps by there icon, and the current default gets too tiny to be easily recognisable. Thus, aesthetics are low in high resolution and usability could be improved in all, but especially in lower resolution/display sizes. Going into the direction Apple indicates and pushes for Big Sur is therefore a no-go, imo. There is too low contrast and too many things just look the same. The github alternative I uploaded some time ago is a first idea into the compromises of keeping Lydia, cleanup the svg/icns, maximise icon-space-realestate, increase usability. Stronger contrast, colours. My result may not satisfy all or everyone in the current iteration, but shows most points just raised here as 'improved'. A full rework/update might of course still be better than this idea… On my local installation I always replace shipped icns with my own and while the files are still in need for more polish, they already help me a lot when switching between applications… Stefan: try them out and hit cmd-tab while a few apps are open. I am also for keeping Lydia, but wouldn't mind a whole new approach either, as long as the usability gets increased (again: a no-no to 'BigSur-stylishness'). greetings mn -- lyx-devel mailing list lyx-devel@lists.lyx.org http://lists.lyx.org/mailman/listinfo/lyx-devel
