Thank you. This looks good. I had a quick look and it seems our icon is not exactly 48×48. Is that a problem? Some time ago, someone submitted an SVG version on the mailing list. I think it would be a good idea to integrate it and maybe recreate a better PNG version from there. Would you be willing to have a look at this?
I don't think it's a major problem that the size is not exactly 48x48. I imagine in some cases it could be scaled/stretched to those dimensions, but then again I'm not aware of anything that would behave like that. I can help with integrating the SVG version to the build if you can point me at the mailing list post where it is included.

Hi Ville, is there any chance of much higher resolution icons? For AppStream I need 64x64 or 128x128 for HiDPI and scaling up a 48x48px icon just looks really bad. Thanks!
(In reply to Richard Hughes from comment #7) > Hi Ville, is there any chance of much higher resolution icons? I have no idea. I'm far from an artist, and none of the icons were made by me, I just converted the SVG contributed by Frederik Elwert to PNG. And the SVG is 48x48 and done in a way that it looks somewhat blurry already at that size, so creating larger icons out of it doesn't make much sense.
