Update the plugin to use cleaner and shinier icons.
The old icon was quite boring, so I decided to steal a nicer logo/icon for the plugin.
Sleek & Transparent too
You can't just re-use the logo of a piece of commercial software without permission. Before even considering merging this in, demonstrate that you have permission to re-use that logo. This raises another issue: this repo should probably add a license file (potentially with different licenses for code and artwork).
Licensing issues aside, personally I'm :-1: on this PR: I don't love the old logo, but I don't think the proposed replacement is an improvement.
@drammock I can understand your concerns regarding the unethical use of another commercial software's logo/icon. But, let me remind you that the original logo was also a stolen logo, nonetheless. Plus, it's not like this software/plugin is trending in XFCE's Official Plugin/App Store, it's merely consumed by couple hundreds of us, so that shouldn't worry us alot. It's on you, whether you want to have this new logo on your XFCE Panel or not.
I didn't know that the image's use in the commercial app was "stolen", but that is irrelevant. Like it or not, incorporating non-free material into free software opens up the developer to lawsuits, and is a violation of GitHub's terms of service. The fact that a lawsuit may be unlikely in this particular case because this program is not "trending" does not mean that the developer's GitHub account is magically immune from being terminated for such violations.
