The mark left of Home (and in the About box) is now the VectorCraft app icon, the engraved dragon from assets/app-icon/ (128 px PNG, include_bytes!), decoded once per context into a mipmapped texture and drawn at 22 pt with the icon's own rounded corners. The old code-drawn gradient square with a pen nib is removed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

VectorCraft app icon
Creature: a regal engraved dragon, VectorCraft's mascot.
Style: an engraving-style portrait in the Crafting Apps owl template (the FilmCraft owl): a tight head-and-shoulders portrait on a full-bleed field, no frame or roundel, with the body running off the tile.
Palette (exactly three colours):
| Colour | Hex | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Ink | #0b0b0c |
line work and contour |
| Paper | #efe9dc |
the figure |
| VectorCraft colour | #e8573f |
the full-bleed field |
Tile: viewBox="0 0 512 512", a rounded square with rx=112, clipped. The macOS files add Apple's
transparent margin (tile = 824/1024 of the canvas); Windows and Linux use the tile edge to edge.
Provenance: the owner's original ArtCraft drawing (2880 px, keyed to the palette), vectorised with
craftrules assets/logo-options/_tools/vectorize_tile.py. The drawing is kept in craftrules at
craftrules/assets/app-icons/vectorcraft/source.png, not here. vectorcraft.svg is the canonical
artwork. Licence: see LICENSE.txt.

How it reaches each OS
- macOS: the app sets the Dock / app-switcher icon at runtime (
ViewportBuilder::with_icon); the.appfromcargo xtask bundlecarriesvectorcraft.icns. - Windows:
build.rsembedsvectorcraft.icoand VERSIONINFO withwinresource(taskbar, Start menu, Explorer, Alt-Tab); the runtime icon covers the title bar. - Linux: install
packaging/linux/ai.storyteller.vectorcraft.desktoptoshare/applications/andhicolor/toshare/icons/. The app sets its Wayland app ID / X11 class toai.storyteller.vectorcraft, so the dock matches the window to the launcher.
Regenerate
Edit or replace vectorcraft.svg (and vectorcraft-small.svg), then run packaging/icons.sh
(needs resvg; iconutil on macOS for the .icns). It writes every PNG, the .ico (via
cargo xtask ico) and the .icns.
