Update Dock Icon

Update Dock Icon

I want to prefix this with this is super nitpicky. I love code-server, but the current dock icon stands out from other applications in the dock in an unpleasant way. I reworked the current design to match the macOS Big Sur icon style, and I think it looks a lot better (see image below). It's pretty rough, but if you like what you see, I would be happy to work on it more and provide variations for Windows and Linux.

I agree, the current icon is kinda weird. Love the new icon @christianjuth!

The files that would need replacing are in https://github.com/cdr/code-server/tree/master/src/browser/media

If you can open a PR with the new files, I'd be happy to accept as is! What were you thinking of changing for Linux/Windows?

@nhooyr to be completely honest, I haven't installed code-server on Linux/Windows as a PWA. Now that I'm looking at the current icons, it looks like it uses the same icons for all platforms. Do you think the design above works for Linux/Windows? I want to make sure I'm not only thinking of Mac since that is what I use day-to-day.

Also, is there a place in the project I can put the SVG file? That will make it easier to change the icon later. Should I throw it in the same folder you mentioned above? I'm using Sketch, so I could also include the project file if you want.

I think it should work. Though, I did just notice that you didn't use our exact logo. Let me see if I can get our logo as an SVG from our designer.

Yes, please include both. I think we'll want to use https://git-lfs.github.com though

Got the icon.
