Vector icons
Closed this issue · 5 comments
Would it be possible to replace the raster icons with scalable vector svgs? Right now the pngs look crummy on computers with large font size ('dpi').
The star and stack icons look good, but the spdy (and envelope) icons are pixelated.
Other extensions don't appear at all on high dpi computers https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=412459
It seems page actions are allowed to use 19x19 icons as well as 38x38 icons for high dpi displays: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/pageAction#manifest
The icons are currently 10x17 pixels, so I suppose that would mean re-rendering them at 20x34.
@rauchg, do you have the original graphics?
I believe I don't, but we can probably use a similar icon from The Noun Project?
It's not possible to use a vector icon for this, but the proper approach is to recreate all icons as 19x19 and 38x38 (to avoid stretching, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=161618 + https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/topic/chromium-extensions/7As9MKhav5E/discussion)
The absolute proper way to do this would be to have a monochrome template and render the icon dynamically (color + "badge") via canvas. But 38x38 scale icons are a good first step.
