Ideally, we would like to provide all icons sizes that different platforms and browsers wants. Currently, our icons are placed in an ICO (as of bug 7998), otherwise the browser just picks one image and uses it for everything. However, due to Chrome only being able 8 icons in an ICO file, we have to limit the number of icons in this file. This has been reported to Chrome: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1381393
Currently, our ICO includes 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 144, 192 Examples of sizes we would like to include are: * Additional Linux home screen icons: 22, 128 * Additional Windows home screen icon: 256 * Additional macOS home screen icons: 128, 256, 512 For Android, we might need a lot more icons, see bug 6866.
Created attachment 1086 [details] Screen shot of the app list in ChromeOS (see the icon for "Filer") When and if we start using manifest files, we will be able to use maskable icons: https://web.dev/maskable-icon/ An example of this can be seen in the attached screenshot.
The issue describe here can be solved by using manifests, which makes this bug basically the same as bug 8039. Closing as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 8039 ***
