Snaps might not be the packaging format ticking everyone’s tastebuds, but they’ve proven to be hugely successful so far - frequent updates to tentpole software like Skype will help ensure that this success continues. Hopefully things will continue tick along nicely hereon. Their lacklustre Snap maintainer (despite releasing new Linux builds through other methods) was both disappointing and discouraging - and not just to Snap app users! Indie app developers debating support for the format may have been put off, inferring that supporting the format is more work than (i’m told) it is. Skype and Spotify (which also had a recent hiccup to its update frequency) are two of the best known apps on the Snap store. A good Skype profile picture should be about 96x96 pixels, this will allow you to have a good resolution picture without it being automatically cropped by. It’s no revolutionary, but I think it’s a subtle improvement over the original. The new Skype icon eschews the flat design of the former for a layered look using gradients and shadows. The new Skype icon is dressed in Microsoft’s new ‘fluent’ design language, a style it has been slowly rolling out its core products, like Microsoft Office, since last November.
