Ubuntu icon looks odd on new Windows 10 Start Menu

[Hayden Barnes]

The default Ubuntu icon bundled in the UWP app (CanonicalLtd/WSL-DistroLauncher) looks odd on the new Windows 10 Start Menu design, currently in Windows 10 Beta Channel.

It appears to be defaulting to the 'alt' white logo and the incorrect size.

Need to explore how to make orange logo and the correct size.

The full screenshot shows off the two main styles (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EduOOp9X0AEs3_7?format=png&name=large)

No Windows apps have a white circle background, they're either just the icon's shape / colors in two different styles.

 - Old style apps have a smaller icon (Outlook, OneNote, Word) have a smaller icon
 - Modern apps (VScode) have a larger icon that's raised a little

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/style/app-icons-and-logos is the official page but it hasn't been updated since 2018 and Windows 10 seems to be ditching the background colors completely - Hayden it might be worth reaching out to your MS contacts to see if there's newer guidelines available.

The background looks odd in light mode.
