Terminal: Nit: Logo on Live Tile has no shadow

Created on 7 Jul 2019 · 5Comments · Source: microsoft/terminal

Environment

Windows build number: Win10 1903 18362.207
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1831.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Pin Windows Terminal to the start menu

Expected behavior

Icon should have a shadow like the office icons

Actual behavior

Icon has no shadow

Also I think it's a bit too small? Or maybe the YourPhone one is the outlier here, I actually like the size of that one way better.

This is going to become an increasingly larger problem as more developers move to coloured icons, and none of the live tile documentation has updated.

Not only should there be a shadow, but it should be a consistent shadow with the other apps using Fluent App Icons.

I made an issue on the WinUI repo that covers this.

I would take another look at this, @DHowett-MSFT. Terminal's icon looks really out of place without a shadow, despite it being aesthetically similar to the rest of the new Fluent icons.
