Summary

Restores the official VS Code app icon (blue) across all platforms, replacing the Coderm custom "Geometric C" branding. Icons are generated from the Microsoft brand asset.

Changes

App icons — official VS Code brand (blue), generated from vscode.png:

  • code.ico / code.icns / code.png (Windows / macOS / Linux)
  • code_70x70.png, code_150x150.png (Windows start tile)
  • server/code-192.png, server/code-512.png, server/favicon.ico (PWA/Web)
  • src/vs/workbench/browser/media/code-icon.svg (titlebar app icon)

Reverts / removals:

Intentionally kept:

  • letterpress-*.svg (empty-editor watermark): kept as the Coderm "C". The VS Code standard watermark is identical in OSS and stable, so the Coderm "C" is retained as the only branding accent inside the editor.

Notes

  • The VS Code product (blue) source icons are not published (internal to Microsoft). They were generated from the official brand asset PNG (vscode.png, 1024x1024, 2021-06-21) using png2icons (ICO/ICNS) and sharp (PNG resizes).
  • .github/assets/workbench.png (README screenshot) is intentionally left as-is; re-capturing is tracked as a separate task.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Replace Coderm custom "Geometric C" app icon with the official VS Code brand icon (blue), generated from the Microsoft brand asset.

- App icons (.ico/.icns/.png/favicon): VS Code brand asset (vscode.png) via png2icons + sharp
- code-icon.svg (titlebar): official vscode.svg
- inno-*.bmp installer wizard images: revert Coderm branding to VSCode-origin
- Remove coderm/icon-master.svg and dmg-background-coderm.tiff
- letterpress watermark: kept as Coderm "C" (intentional)

Brand asset: https://code.visualstudio.com/brand

This file was removed in #224 under the incorrect assumption that it was an unused dead asset (product.json quality=stable). However, the release CI builds with VSCODE_QUALITY=coderm, and create-dmg.ts loads dmg-background-${quality}.tiff at line 163 — so this file is required. Its absence broke the macOS DMG build in the v1.122.0-coderm.0.26.0 release.
