## Application Icons
When adding a new App into FreedomBox, an icon is needed to represent the app in
the application view and for shortcuts in the front page. The following the
guidelines for creating an app icon:
- Use SVG format.
- Keep the size and complexity of the SVG minimal. Simplify the graphic if
necessary.
- Units for the entire document should be in pixels.
- View area should be 512x512 pixels.
- Background should be transparent.
- Leave no margins and prefer a square icon. If the icon is wide, leave top and
bottom margins. If the icon is tall, leave left and right margins.
