Environment

Windows build number: Win10 1903 18362.207
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1831.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

Pin Windows Terminal to the start menu

Expected behavior

Icon should have a shadow like the office icons

Actual behavior

Icon has no shadow

Also I think it's a bit too small? Or maybe the YourPhone one is the outlier here, I actually like the size of that one way better.

I would take another look at this, @DHowett-MSFT. Terminal's icon looks really out of place without a shadow, despite it being aesthetically similar to the rest of the new Fluent icons.

@mdtauk commented on GitHub (May 13, 2020):

This is going to become an increasingly larger problem as more developers move to coloured icons, and none of the live tile documentation has updated.

Not only should there be a shadow, but it should be a consistent shadow with the other apps using Fluent App Icons.

I made an issue on the WinUI repo that covers this.

Hmmm! If I pin it, I get the right icon (don't care about the shadow). But if I search in the start menu, I just get a generic icon associated with IrfanView (third party image viewer). In the same situation (having typed something in the search) ALL other apps that I've tried show a correct icon.

This issue is with Windows Search, not the app.

Hey so this might be a spicy take, but I'm gonna close this out. With Windows 11, live tiles are gone from the Start Menu. We still intend on supporting Windows 10 for a while in the Terminal, but I don't think we're gonna have the bandwidth to add this to our live tile just for Windows 10. If someone comes through and finds a way to do it, I'll probably still accept the PR.
