The app icon renders noticeably larger than neighboring apps in the Dock because the artwork bleeds to the edge of the canvas with almost no transparent margin.
Environment
- Muesli version: v0.8.1
- macOS: Sequoia 15.6.1, Apple M3 Pro
- Asset:
assets/muesli.icns
Steps To Reproduce
- Install Muesli and keep it in the Dock.
- Place it next to other common apps (Spotify, Zoom, 1Password, Docker).
- Compare the rendered icon sizes.
Expected
Muesli's icon reads the same visual size as adjacent apps.
Actual
Muesli's icon looks noticeably bigger than its neighbors. macOS sizes every Dock icon to its full canvas, so the transparent padding around the artwork is what makes icons match. Apple's macOS icon grid expects the rounded square to fill roughly 80% of the canvas (about 824 of a 1024 grid), leaving a margin on all sides. The 512pt layer extracted from assets/muesli.icns shows the black squircle running nearly to the canvas edge with only a few pixels of margin, so once the Dock scales it to match, the visible art is larger. This is an asset issue, not a rendering or code defect.
Impact
Cosmetic only. The icon looks out of place next to other apps, which reads as unpolished. Nothing functional is affected. No workaround for the user; the fix is an asset swap.
Suggested Fix
Regenerate muesli.icns from source art placed on Apple's macOS icon grid, so the squircle occupies about 80% of the canvas with transparent padding on all sides. Purely an asset swap, no code change. Suggestion, not a requirement.
