Bug Description
the icon for the webbrowser-app does not use transparency, so is a big square edged thing, which is inconsistent with other icons and looks out of place on the dash and alt-tab. I don't know if phone icons are supposed to meet the standards for desktop icons, or if desktop icons should work well as phone icons, but if we are aiming for convergence some kind of common ground is going to be required, or we end up with a separate icon for desktop and phone?

the icon for the browser with the blue and red north east pointing compass is also, erm, lets say "weakly differentiated" from the icon for the primary browser on a competitive platform.
