[Bug 1449295] Re: [Icons] Transparent app icon backgrounds look bad

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

App icons are, or will be, also rendered by content-hub in its “Open
With” dialog; by indicator-sound when a player is registered with Mpris;
by url-dispatcher in its “Use App” dialog; and by any app that uses its
own icon in a notification. (Presumably the notification cases can’t be
fixed in notify-osd and indicator-messages themselves, because they
don’t know whether the icon they receive is an app icon or something
more specific.) That almost certainly still isn’t a complete list.

These “oh, we need to fix this bug here too, and here, and here”
comments bolster my proposal in wontfixed bug 1363015: there should be a
toolkit element for rendering an app’s icon in the current standard
style. As long as every place that renders app icons has to include its
own code for making a transparent background opaque, along with all
their other details (icon location in click/snap packages, aspect ratio
sanity-checking, rounded corners, relief/shadow, etc), then whenever the
rendering of app icons changes, time will be wasted on multiple
implementations and some of them will be forgotten or diverge
accidentally.
