Why does my app icon not display on Splunkbase?

[wnguyen]

I uploaded an app with an app icon included within the package, but I am not seeing the icon properly display on Splunkbase. Why is it not displaying?

I have the same issue even if appIconAlt_2x.png is included and not white. How to force splunkbase (not the application itself) to use it?

Your app displays a transparent .png over a white background (white is the default background color if none is specified). This can be fixed in two ways:
1. Change the background color in default/data/ui/nav/default.xml in your app package. Example:
2. Upload an icon that replaces the transparency with a different color. See "Add navigation to a Splunk app" http://dev.splunk.com/view/webframework-developapps/SP-CAAAEP9 to learn more.
