Hi Papyrus team,

Heads up that the icon for Thunderbird will be changing.

i'll try to work on it now. the timing is right - supernova was recently released on flathub.

A mockup:

What would be better - a simple, not colour-rich icon like the old one (without the gradients) or a more complex one, more close to how Firefox icon looks like now in Papirus (with gradients)? I think i prefer the more simple one.

@morganist let's start from the 2nd one. The colors may be added later.

The problem with purple pieces is that I think they conflict with white outlines.
Got it, I'll start to work on other sizes for the 2nd one.

New tray icon?

Old one for comparison:

It's now a pigeon apparently

I like the new tray icon 👍
