I’m guessing this is about https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/issues/3926.

I can well understand this being knocked back; as a non-user of macOS I would knock it back too. The main proposed option is frankly a fairly poor reimplementation of the logo and loses too much of the character of the original logo. A more conservative adjustment might stand a better chance. (chrisduerr also quibbles over the idea of maintaining different icon graphics for different platforms, but I suspect this may be more a further complaint about something that he’s otherwise already not happy with: that if the proposed icon was actually true to the Alacritty logo he wouldn’t object so much, though it’s still not an entirely unreasonable complaint—Apple are probably going to change their style in another year or two anyway.)

Admittedly the current icon isn’t great, because it’s taking the full width available to it, where native square icons look to go for 10% border on each side. I imagine you might have much more success just fixing the icon’s scaling (e.g. down to 90%—because it’s not square, 80% would probably be too far).

You could also try adjusting the aspect ratio just a bit, slightly squarer, but leaving everything else the same—that’d be about as conservative as you could get while still varying it for macOS. That’d make it a fair test of the idea whether chrisduerr is actively against having different source icons for different platforms.
