I was recently perusing my local /Applications/ on macOS and noticed that many, many apps have a visual southeast drop shadow. qri does not.

It seems somewhat standard and would be good for the sake of branding for qri to exhibit this drop shadow. There are some "faking it" app icons that make me question this but this aside...

I am not entirely convinced that the drop shadow effect is part of the icon and not a system-level flourish.

A macOS 10.14.2 Finder window (View>As gallery) screenshot:

Note the folder icon drop shadow.

Similar, qri (sans drop shadow on the large icon):

Amaze. Thanks for the feedback @machawk1. I totally agree it makes the Qri icon feel "off". We'll address this in the next release.
