Let tray image blend into macOS menu bar #504
Conversation
The expected style for macOS menu bar images is a template image than
can adapt to the user's appearance settings. Also, high-res screens
("Retina" in Apple speak) need higher resolution images.
Based on /res/barrier.svg, I created black and transparent SVGs for the
three icon states. I had to remove some details to make the image scale
down to icon size without becoming too crowded, and I drew a new
checkmark and the transfer arrow.

@tiwoc Thanks, this makes the menu bar icon so much better |
|
This looks awesome, is this part of any releases or do I need to run master to pick up this change? Really nice, thanks @tiwoc ! |
|
@cschep It's not in any of the releases, but you can get it in a compiled release of master from the published artifacts on Azure. |

Is this only for the mac-version or is it the new standard for all versions? I'm running barrier on Linux (KDE) and I've been looking for a way to get a monochrome icon for quite some time... |

This PR did only affect the Mac icon, that's right. It should be pretty easy to apply a similar change for Linux if a black and white icon fits the predominant style across the common desktop environments. I unfortunately don't have the time to do (and test) that, though. |
