Please consider updating either the circular app icons to be bigger or the square app icons to be smaller. Thank you for your otherwise excellent work on Breeze icons! I have also posted this to here: https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/breeze-icons/-/issues/39 Indeed, the optical sizes aren't balanced here. This is a tricky issue, though, for a number of reasons: 1. If we do balance the optical sizes, then square and circular icons won't have edges that align vertically or horizontally anymore, which drives a different set of people crazy. 2. Optical balance requires margins for at least the square icons, so that the round icons can intrude into the margin area. This means closing the door to the possibility of margin-less icons. That in turn closes the door to the possibility of icons whose edges are aligned to margin-less UI elements. That's important when using flat ToolButtons which have no frame that aligns to anything, and this is something that people complain about. 3. Re-doing all of the circular and.or square icons would be a lot of work. |
