Bug Description

Legacy app icons look poor/broken inside a rounded grey square (in the app drawer).

We would achieve a much nicer appearance without the rounded grey squares at all. Not only that, but we'd then have a visual distinction between legacy app icons and "modern" Ubuntu Touch apps.

The problem is our "modern" icons are just square, so if we don't shape all of them, we'll get square items for all our icons.

That said, we could do away with the grey behind them indeed...
