Big Sur icon not aligned with the other apps

[diocas]

The icon used by the sync client is bigger than the ones used by other apps.

The branding system should also properly size the given image to the correct size.

Didn't find a spec in the HIG yet:

Here are the specs listed: https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/icons-and-images/app-icon/

@michaelstingl the problem is that the icons are supposed to be smaller, but they should not be scaled automatically (since the icon elements can still spill outside of its square). But the windows/linux logos are different.. So maybe the ownbrander should have a special configuration for mac os.

Potential fix?

Looks like apple is not capable of scaling an icon to its idea of a design.
We can either ignore it, follow it on all platforms, or create special icons for mac.

The best thing we can do is to scale the icon down to the size of the area within the insets of the border of that template.

Hmm if we set the icon at runtime we can paint something mac confomrmant....
