Re: [w3c/manifest] Ability to dynamically change app icon (#663)

diekus left a comment (w3c/manifest#663)

Hola 😉

Been making some apps these days and I'd like to see this feature exist. One of the apps that has caught my attention for doing this on Android, macOS, iOS and Windows is Firefox. It's been a long time since this was first asked in 2018, and it is normal now to have apps that allow select an app icon as part of their theme (see image below). 

We've recently looked at localisation and icons as one of these localisable elements. There's been discussions of having icons adapt to different OS themes as well. 

I'm thinking we can explore something similar by having a list of ImageResource icons that are listed in the manifest that then the user could select one for their app. Keep it simple, nothing dynamic, but would bring web apps closer to native apps in a feature that clearly devs see value (see comments above). I'll draft some ideas on how could this look, and look forward to discuss this with you.
