New SVG for the Eclipse-Logo

[Michael5601]

The Eclipse logo is currently used as a PNG in various locations within the Eclipse application. Examples include:

About Menu Entry:

Window Icon:

To support high-DPI scaling I explored replacing these PNGs with an existing SVG version of the Eclipse logo. However, the rendering of the current SVG results in very thin middle lines, which appear almost like a single white block. This is due to the thin lines (approx. 0.7 px) specified in the SVG:

Proposed Solution

To improve visibility and clarity, I suggest modifying the SVG by increasing the thickness of the middle lines and the spacing between them. Below are two adjusted variants:

---

Variant 1: Middle Lines 1.0 px

About Menu Entry:

Window Icon:

---

Variant 2: Middle Lines 1.25 px

About Menu Entry:

Window Icon:

---

I’d appreciate feedback on which variant looks best, or if further refinements are needed. I could also imagine that 1.15 px could improve the looks of the icon.

Sure. Do you have PRs / Draft-PRs somewhere for these two variation (1 px / 1.25 px lines) so I can try it out in the "real" think.
Deciding based on Screenshots is a bit hard for me.

You can test the icons with this draft I just created.

The new icon was discussed in this draft and will be added to Eclipse Platform in this PR.
Thus this issue can be closed.
