White icon, no spaces in name.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Go to https://tomayac.github.io/pwa-feature-detector/
2) Add the app to the home screen
3) Experience the following issues:
- The app short name taken from the Web App Manifest’s "short_name" (https://github.com/tomayac/pwa-feature-detector/blob/master/src/manifest.webmanifest) is lacking all spaces.
- The app icon is not respected (120x120px).
- The auto-generated icon occasionally goes all white.

Expected behavior:
- The "short_name" should contain spaces. 
- The app icon should be respected (120x120px should be OK).
- The icon (no matter if auto-generated or set in the manifest) should always be shown.

Airhorner icon broken

I just encountered another issue where the icon was broken. See the screenshot attached.

For short name, we believe this behaves correctly. It's not eating spaces, rather, it compresses letter spacing for long names, consistent with native apps.

The other two issues are separate bugs. It would probably be best to make separate bugzilla bugs for them and close this one.
