fix: app icon sizing, background color, and crop source - #49
Merged
Conversation
Fixes a white/oversized border around the Aurora icon on the LG home screen: 1. icon.png/icon_large.png were shipped at 130x130/512x512 -- 1.6x and ~4x larger than webOS's actual slots (80x80/130x130, confirmed via both LG's docs and moonlight-tv's pre-rebrand assets). webOS was downscaling and letterboxing them, padding the leftover space with iconColor. 2. iconColor was left at the webOS-default #ffffff. Per LG's docs, iconColor is the app tile's permanent background, always visible behind the icon -- not just a fallback for transparent pixels. webos-homebrew-channel's appinfo.json confirms the convention: its iconColor (#cf0652) deliberately matches its own icon's branding, not left at the default. 3. The icon source baked in an inconsistent two-tone background (a dark rounded-square card on top of a separately-black canvas, not quite the same color, with rounded corners that any rectangular crop couldn't match) -- extracted the mark from a cleaner source instead, recomposed on a flat background matching the new iconColor (mariotaku#618), with padding matched to other apps' icon proportions on a live LG home screen.

In short, fixed the app icon which had a white border, now looks seamless.
Three commits. Three compounding problems, found by comparing against moonlight-tv's original webOS assets and webosbrew/webos-homebrew-channel (a working reference homebrew app):
Fixed by extracting just the 'A' mark from aurora_splash.png instead (same mark, genuinely uniform near-black background, no baked-in card), recomposing it centered on a flat background we control at each of webOS's actual expected sizes, and setting iconColor to match that same background color (mariotaku#618). Padding around the mark was tuned to 20% by comparing directly against other apps' icon proportions on a live LG home screen (an initial attempt at 50% was an overcorrection, confirmed after a webOS icon-cache-related false negative was resolved by rebooting the TV).
