I love the app but the round icon's size in MacOS is inconsistent with Apple's guidelines and looks out of place in the dock. The slight padding is considered a best practice and would benefit other UIs also. I've made a revised version using the new icon:

@davidbwaters can you submit a PR for this instead of a zip file? It's easier to check your code and credit you if you submit a PR 👍

@davidbwaters Could you also provide a screenshot of this inconsistency? Preferably before and after your change.

Sorry, I GitHub won't let me upload SVG files unless they are zipped. I can make a PR. I was trying to figure out which icon Electron used to generate the desktop icon.

Here is a screenshot showing the original and resized versions and an updated version

The macOS icon has been changed already which is following Apple's latest design guideline.
