Thank you for making us aware of this change. I wanted to ask that we work
closely together with the VDG designers to help in this process. If you
can't get the original authors or app maintainers in the work, or even if
you do, we can help adapt the icons to the standards required when it comes
to graphics.

Thank you

FlatHub is changing how it will display apps on its site and has issued <br>

 <br>
Not that these are **guidelines**, not **rules**. Apps that do not adapt will <br>
not be removed or penalised, except they may just not show up on the front <br>
page, as they would not fit in the aesthetic FlatHub is looking for.<br>

If you would like to lend a hand, subscribe to the task, read the report for <br>
each app supplied by FlatHub, and help us bring them up to date.<br>
