Screenshot of the dropshadow.

If there are no screenshots, there is also the dark version of the "image missing" icon, which has a weird drop shadow.

Looks like attica is giving us a pixmap as the placeholder icon that doesn't look good with dark themes.
Comment 3 Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen 2019-12-04 17:54:41 UTC
Well damn... Right, that is the image returned by the KDE Store, and it's what we ended up with last year about this time, because the previous one was just a 100x100 100% transparent png, which made everything look super broken. So... now i guess we need to find something to swap this one with, which works on every possible background and colour combination that people might pick. This sounds like a job for someone who does visual work, but also it's a KDE Store issue rather than Attica (which just forwards what it's given by the server).

So... VDG task, i guess, for picking the new image, but not sure of the product to aim it at. The store team will go with whatever they're given here (but of course they'd rather not have to do it too often).

You could just add a white border around this image. That would fix it for everything.
Comment 5 Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen 2019-12-05 09:54:38 UTC
If you're sure that'd work, then yup, that certainly would be a nice, easy fix :)

Definitely better than the status quo IMO, and it will take the pressure off so we can take our sweet time implementing a different solution if we want.
