🚀 Feature Proposal

So the icons are percieved different between:
App, Github and Icon for the app.

Images:

For me the styling of the icon feels different in the app itself on the github page and on the application because of the backgrounds.

The background in github gives a totally different vibe:

And then again the logo in the app gives a different vibe:

Image

So I would suggest removing the backgrounds from all the images and also in the app.

Motivation

Identity should be same across these places.

    Yeah, totally agree.
    Frankly i am not a designer (and you can probably see it :) )

    What do you think is the best?
    No background - White background - Grey background - Other option.

    I added a poll here: https://github.com/debba/tabularis/discussions/82

    If you want I can point some other things out as well.

    But with most things design / UX there are multiple options to resolve so I would recommend picking solutions that work best for you.

    For the windows icon transparent background works best.
    I think the only challenge is the background color for the app + the logo don't work great together since low contrast but maybe that can work with some small color tweaks or maybe it's fine on it's own.
