Обсуждение: App Icons

pgAdmin's icons have low quality and are not fully ready for hi-dpi
monitors. Icon for Linux app is only low res and has pure quality (see
attachment screenshot.png). Icon for Windows app is probably generated
from a jpeg and so it has some artefacts (see attachment zoomed.png).

I generated new app icons set (see attachment icons.zip):
Windows icon - it's clean and has 256px variant
OS X icon - it has added 1024px variant
Linux icons - new set with various sizes inc. scalable variant

It should be updated packages specifications and pgamdin3.desktop file
in /pkg to reflect this new icons.

Essentials:

- Install icons to
/BUILD_ROOT/DATA_DIR/icons/hicolor/SIZE_SPEC/apps/pgadmin3.PNG|SVG
(same parts of path may be distribution specific)

- Use "Icon=pgamdmin3" in pgadmin3.desktop - desktop shell, e.g. GNOME,
KDE..., select itself suitable icon version from paths mentioned above.

Currently only one icon version is installed and used (mostly old icon
pgadmin3.xpm). See pkg/debian/pgadmin3.install,
pkg/suse/pgadmin3.spec.in... Some distributions added other own icons
outside official source code. It would nice prepare unified resources
for all Linux and *nix distributions. It includes some other changes, I
will post them separately.
