Still WIP, I need to update the copies in src/libs/vmisc/share/resources/icon as well |

Why are we resisizing these icons? Those are application icons not file icons. Your're changing the size of the icon that is used for ex in windows and dialogs:
If you want the file icons they're located in Seamly2d/dist |

Thanks @DSCaskey, I also noticed that I got the wrong icons. Sorry for the noise... What I want to achieve: Currently Seamly2D looks "too big" in the macOS task bar, as its filling all the space, while all the other icons are smaller and have a rectangular shape, even natually round ones like the Photos app or Firefox: 
I will redo this and use the places where the mac application icons (Seamly2D and SeamlyMe) are stored, and just start there. Then tackle linux later... |
