Unsharp tray icon Ubuntu 18.04

[AJJLagerweij]

My keepassxc, as intended, closes to the system tray. The icon does however look blurry.
This does not make it unusable, but it would be more beautiful when the item would be sharp.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that the item tray icon would be sharp, even in high resolution screens.
When running the program in windows the systemtray icon is sharper when using the same machine.

Current Behavior

Both the locked and unlocked item look bury, as show in the screenshot below.

Possible Solution

It might be that the current icon is pixel based or compressed.
Having the icon as a vector image (such as .svg) might solve the issue already.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install KeePassXC Snap from the Ubuntu store
2. Make sure that the system tray icon is activated

Context

No major impact on use.

Can the tray icons, at least optionally, use "1-bit color" (i.e. just be an alpha layer) and take advantage of setIsMask(true)?

This will let the tray icons respond well to dark/light desktop theme changes, and (where OS-appropriate) dim for inactive workspaces.

Here's the KeePassXC icon in the middle of some other icons in the system tray and dock of elementary OS 5.1 (Hera). The others are crisp but the KeePassXC one is blurry. And, this is the KeePassXC version that uses SVG icons exclusively (#475/#4066).

But it even looks fuzzy in the tray menu. Maybe the SVG needs some rework to make it scale better to small numbers of pixels?

Are you sure its drawing from your development version? Make sure ALL other installs are cleaned from your computer. Ot could be preferring what is in /usr/local/share

[wolframroesler]

I've got no other version installed except the AppImage, and there's no KeePassXC-related stuff in /usr/local/share, so I suppose it's coming from the version I built. But who knows what kind of caching is going on behind the scenes.

Try replacing the icon with something else. If that something is blurry as well, we got a problem somewhere. I noticed the awkward looks of our icon as well. Even if it were sharp, it looks somewhat out of place.

[droidmonkey]

All icons are now SVG or 256x256 PNG for the application icon.

For the record, with the latest develop version the icon is crisp and clear in my dock (elementary OS Hera). Thanks to whoever fixed it.
