Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?redesign=20app=20icon=20=E2=80=94=20glass-lens?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=20orb=20with=20depth?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

10-layer foreground: soft halo, warm amber body with 6-stop gradient,
cool glass overlay, bounce light, volume shadow, internal caustic
structure, elliptical specular + micro pinpoint glint, gradient rims.
Replaces the flat 5-layer amber ball that looked like an emoji.

Background: warmer cream (light) with vignette, deeper obsidian (dark)
with warm center glow. Monochrome: stronger contrast + rim for themed
icon legibility.
