Contribute icon upstream?

Absolutely gorgeous icon, @DinkDonk. 😍

Don't know how open @kovidgoyal would be to accepting a contribution upstream, but have you considered sharing this with him?

But the icon is really good looking

It’s really a nice one. 👍🏻

Not sure that it follows the HIG on macOS. One could solve this by supplying a custom icon for just macOS though.

Ah, that looks pretty conclusive then. Thanks @andreypopp!

Thank you @wincent !
I'm very hesitant to create a pull request on design stuff – it's a subjective matter and even though Kitty is pretty new, it still has well known preexisting branding.

I was unaware of the issue @andreypopp mentioned, but that further seals the deal.
The best thing is probably to just let the alternative icons live outside of the main distribution/repo.

@MindTooth – my icon follows the latest MacOS App Icon guidelines, even though they are just guidelines and not rules.
Breaking the rounded rectangle is allowed but should be done subtly as I feel like I have managed:

If you must alter the shape, prefer subtle adjustments that continue to express a rounded rectangle silhouette.
