Meld's icon situation is an unfortunate confusion of legacy and new-ish
3-
icons.
4-
5-
All of the icons in the top-level icon folder should be considered
6-
legacy. Some, like the VC actions, should be replaced with modern, symbolic
7-
alternatives. Others, like the filter icons, should probably be removed and
8-
their respective UI elements reworked.

Icons in the hicolor folder are more recently updated, and mostly follow
11-
the spec.

* The reference icon is the SVG at hicolor/scalable/apps/org.gnome.meld.svg.

It is designed on a 128x128 canvas and scales fairly well to higher
19-
resolutions.

============

On *nix platforms we only ship SVG application icons: the regular Meld icon at
6+
`hicolor/scalable/apps/org.gnome.meld.svg`, and the symbolic icon for GNOME
7+
shell presentation at `hicolor/symbolic/apps/org.gnome.meld.svg`.

The change action icons in hicolor/16x16/actions are all used and have been
26-
recently updated. These are extremely simple icons, but we would ideally have
27-
these at additional sizes for different file comparison line heights.

The Windows `ico` file in this folder is converted from the SVG source. See
10+
the `Makefile` in this folder for the very simple command.
