[REQUEST] Add user-selectable alternate app icons
Description
- I don't like the new app icon; it seems pretty tacky compared to the last one.
- The centre graphic looks OK,, but the background looks really bad. Looks like an old iOS glossy icon, in a way.
- Consider making the default icon only the dark blue background, with an enlarge bookshelf icon in the centre. Kind of like the current Discord server icon. The dashed line could also perhaps go around the border of the icon.
- The last app icon was so-so. The previous icon could be offered as one of the selectable alternatives.
- Apps can allow the user to select from a predefined list of alternate app icons.
-
- iOS 10.3 and later have this feature.
How would it improve the app?
- Allows the user to choose the app icon they like the most, causing them to use the app more and enjoy using it more.
- Makes legacy users of the app feel appreciated by continuing to offer familiar historical app icons.
- Could have a light version of the app icon and a dark version of the app icon, so that the user has options if they do or don't use system Dark Mode
- If the app has user-selectable themes, users could pick an app icon that closely matches their chosen theme. Kind of like how the background colour matches the app's accent colours already.

- https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplication/2806818-setalternateiconname
- I am not willing to design a new icon, but can offer feedback and suggestions regarding icons.
Alternative solution
- This change may not be necessary if the only app icon available is generally considered really good.

Missed that due to the "logo" wording being used as the wording instead of "icon". Thanks!
