Icon sizes in AppStream
by Richard Hughes
Hi all,
I've been asked to look at how HiDPI affects the AppStream
specification. Basically, the issue is that 64x64 rendered PNGs look
really small on a HiDPI screen, and just scaling them up make the
icons all fuzzy and the designers sad.
What about if I proposed a spec change to install the icons into
/usr/share/app-info/icons/fedora-21/64x64 rather than
/usr/share/app-info/icons/fedora-21/?
This would allow me to ship 128x128 (or, the more correct 64x64@2)
icons in the Fedora metadata for use on HiDPI screens. I don't think
*many* applications ship an icon larger than 64x64, but the ones that
do really care about things looking beautiful. Ideas welcome, thanks.
