Edit: I enjoy my jolla phone a lot, i've got 4g working and fast gps lock and great responsive ui. But i just had to replace all the icons!

I find Jolla icons too jaggy on edges, here's included a good example, how smooth it can be. These have no rugged edges even on a close look at screen.

As a result of drop shadow and antialiasing these icons are a bit smaller, but they look a lot better.

Jolla should adjust their icon templates accordingly, because for now the jaggy icons are one of key factors in making an impression of a low resolution screen used in jolla phone.

Check for yourself below, download and open in jollas gallery, unscaled, for better comparision. Few icons originate from the 'Jolla icons' thread, from the user Moth - thanks for these!

Smooth icons, most from androids jollijolla iconpack

Why they should be? Apart from that the icons (both jolla and the ones made by devs for apps in the store ) is something that needs quite some polishing.

Flat? There is really no need for applying drop shadow to icons, leaving a pixel from every side for transparency and antialiasing should do away with ruggedness.

They are already leave space around. 0,4 px on every side.

okey, it doesn't work then. ;) I don't get how could it be less than a pixel?

I see that straight edges on icons are sharp, but where the shapes curve inside, there are the poor antialiasing effects visible even on stock icons.

The 0.6 pixels is in the design of the icons. If you don't design the icons yourself there is nothing you can do.

The final image size is 86x86 but the draw area is 85.4x85.4
