Looks like bug 697006 landed a new locationbar icon for webapps, and it is starting to appear to users. The problem is that this icon at 16x16 looks scary, I thought it was some sort of malware. Shorlander and Wesj had similar thoughts on IRC. Afaict, apart being really scary, clicking on the icon doesn't do anything, sometimes the key replaces it but still does nothing. I couldn't really figure out what it was till shorlander found it. This is the icon: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/themes/winstripe/webapps-16.png May actually look like a scorpion or an evil mask, nothing positive and nice as an app :) I think this icon should not be presented to users as it is.

When did it appear to you? This should only occur when installing a web app with the mozApps api.

I was on tbpl page, nothing related to webapps

But eventually we will need icons in the style of the other notification icons for various platforms. We should wait for a final apps icon first though. It would be appreciated if I could please be notified of new icons being checked :) Thanks!

Reopening to track the need for a better icon

Thanks to Martell for the icons! :)

Just replacing previous files with new icons. I cropped them to the grayscale version of each (except for Linux) and pngcrush'ed again

sry for the typo in the commit message, "wbapps" :S https://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/rev/0209dfc83681

Nice icons! However for the 16 icon version, why are these 48x16 for windows when only the first 16x16 is used? Or will it be used in later stage?

For verification - When are the rocket ship icons other than the red ones used? So far I've only seen the red ones used in the code. The two places I've seen these icons used are: - Doorhanger notification - App does not specify an icon I believe those two use cases are correct, but can someone confirm.

The small icons are used in the doorhanger notifications: they show up in the location bar and are what the doorhanger points to. Only the gray ones are used now, the colored are for future Firefox theme work.
