[PD] Icon Update

[jlistshit]

Thanx for the stabs repost, hadn’t seen that before. 
Of those two layouts i like Dan’s version more, as the “Retina” version gets too foggy here. I am not using etina, but my eyes like maximum contrast. 

The new font, DejaVu Sans Mono works better in the Retina version, though, as it has sufficient weight there to display well at smaller icon sizes. 

Eyes on an overfilled dashboard love this.

Thank you both for working on this,

This repo generates all icons for Windows, Mac, & Linux (I assume): there is also gif that TK can load natively. I believe I got the sizing and padding around the icon pretty well (at least on mac).
