Dylan M. Taylor c735fb7da5 Make PdfCraft's app color red (#5245)
* Make PdfCraft's app colour red

The icon tile, the Windows PDF file icon's badge and lines, the DMG background and the README
badges move from green #12a58a to crimson #b70228 (darker shade #8a011e, fold #f3cfd6).
Every PNG, .ico and .icns is re-rendered from the edited master SVGs with packaging/icons.sh
and resvg 0.47; the .icns is written with Pillow because iconutil is macOS-only, with
iconutil's size set. The DMG background is re-rendered with generate.py; its .DS_Store is
unchanged. ATTRIBUTION.toml hashes updated; cargo xtask assets passes.

PdfCraft app icon

PdfCraft app icon: an engraved lion's head on red

Creature: a lion, in a frontal head-and-shoulders portrait, mane running off the bottom of the tile.

Style: an engraving (woodcut-weight line work) portrait in the Crafting Apps "owl template" framing: a full-bleed colour field, no frame or roundel, the animal looking at the viewer and filling the tile.

Palette: exactly three colours.

Colour Hex Used for
Ink #0b0b0c line work and the figure's contour
Paper #efe9dc the figure (the lion's silhouette)
PdfCraft red (app colour) #b70228 the full-bleed field

Tile: viewBox="0 0 512 512", a rounded square with rx=112 that clips everything. Windows and Linux icons use the full-bleed tile. macOS icons put it on Apple's grid (an 824 px body centred on a transparent 1024 px canvas).

Provenance: the project owner's original drawing, made in ArtCraft (2880 px, keyed to the palette), then vectorised with craftrules assets/logo-options/_tools/vectorize_tile.py (potrace; no filtering or warping). The source drawing is kept in craftrules at assets/app-icons/pdfcraft/source.png, not here. Licence: LICENSE.txt (MIT OR Apache-2.0, like the repo).

Files

File What it is
pdfcraft.svg the master vector (traced at 2048 px); every PNG, .ico and .icns is rendered from it
pdfcraft-small.svg a lighter vector (traced at 1024 px) for places where size matters, such as this README
pdfcraft-1024.png 1024 px on Apple's grid; also the runtime Dock icon on macOS
pdfcraft.icns macOS icon (16–1024 px)
pdfcraft.ico Windows icon (16–256 px), embedded in pdfcraft.exe by apps/pdfcraft/build.rs
pdfcraft-document.svg Windows PDF file icon master: a Lucide document outline, red badge and outlined PDF lettering; no font dependency
pdfcraft-document.ico Windows PDF file icon (16–256 px), embedded as resource 2 in pdfcraft.exe
hicolor/<n>x<n>/apps/ai.storyteller.pdfcraft.png Linux hicolor theme, 16–512 px; the 256 px one is the runtime icon on Windows and Linux
hicolor/scalable/apps/ai.storyteller.pdfcraft.svg Linux scalable icon (copy of the master)

Where it shows: apps/pdfcraft/src/main.rs sets the window icon (Dock, taskbar, Alt-Tab, launcher) and the Wayland app id ai.storyteller.pdfcraft; packaging/linux/ai.storyteller.pdfcraft.desktop names the hicolor icon.

Windows PDF files use resource 2 ("pdfcraft.exe",-2) when PdfCraft is chosen as the default reader; the app keeps resource 1. The document outline is adapted from Lucide file-text 1.49.0 (ISC); its badge and outlined lettering are original (MIT OR Apache-2.0), covered by LICENSE-document.txt. Both icons are embedded, requiring no runtime sidecar. This provides a file type icon; first-page thumbnails still need a thumbnail provider.

Regenerate

packaging/icons.sh        # needs resvg and python3; iconutil (macOS) for the .icns
cargo xtask assets        # then update the sha256 values in ATTRIBUTION.toml and run with --write
