Proposal for Big Sur/Monterey-compliant/iOS Beta icon
Hi guys,
Being a graphic designer utterly irked with non-Big Sur-like icons (I hated the new look at first, but it has since grown on me), I've been customising the icons of my most commonly used apps so they get those properly smoothed out roundrect backgrounds.
188BET靠谱吗Zotero is one of those apps, and I came up with a version by extracting the .png images from the current .icns file (which, incidentally, isn't fully Retina-compliant), fiddling a lot with healing brushes, scaling and whatnot and slapping it onto my quasi-Apple-official Affinity Designer template, but wouldn't mind getting my hands on the original 3D/vector artwork or working with whoever made it originally, and doing an *official*, crisper version.
You can find my ersatz version and work files here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1F8F3ifcc4eTZ6h_8BSNCYDfqLpBwrAyF?usp=sharing

btw, you should upload it at this repository of Big Sur Icons: 188BET靠谱吗https://macosicons.com/zotero
I've just created an account there and finished uploading 60 Big Sur/Monterey-compliant icons of my own over there for a lot of apps and folders.Once they do get approved, you'll be able to browse them at https://macosicons.com/#/u/joaofrgomes
188BET靠谱吗I'm still not sure whether that repository fully supports .icns files (I did manage to upload my own and all files downloaded from there are, indeed, in .icns format, but I'll only be able to check whether my custom 16x16@1x instances were preserved or not – Zotero's icon being one the few that did include such a special version on that instance – after they're all approved and I can finally download them back from there).
If that's the case, I'll be sure to post a direct link to the public file here, too.I was just checking my Google Drive link and only now realised that I had accidentally deleted the corresponding folder the other day (I've now since restored it, but it's best if I also provide a fully public and static link to my work).
The desktop icon looks even more out of place in iOS/iPadOS, and I'm guessing the final release must be drawing closer, so, yep.;)
I'll likely leave it online but, seeing how you have access to the real deal here already, it's a bit pointless to post the link here.I raised my concerns on the project's GitHub page here ( https://github.com/elrumo/macOS_Big_Sur_icons_replacements/discussions/1098) and if and when it's fixed, I'll be sure to post the link to an updated/re-uploaded version of the icon here.
188BET靠谱吗If Zotero wanted to do a collaboration with me, by providing the original vector/3D files, or the original author was willing to copy my idea, it would look even better.
188BET靠谱吗As for the developers, please excuse me the shameless plug and bump, but Zotero 7 would be a perfect opportunity to introduce a rounded square icon variant on both macOS and iOS/iPadOS.188BET靠谱吗And, indeed, users seem to agree, as my custom Zotero icon (sadly not yet updated with the best, proper .icns file) is by far, with more than 800 downloads, the most popular of the bunch on my macOSicons page.
