Hey check it out! @paul wrote some code specifically for the Mac app.
@todd @paul 😍 Now I can match the icon to my accent color on Mac too! Thanks for the hard work y’all 💛
@todd @paul This makes me very happy!
@todd @paul i would be so stoked for custom icons on the Mac version
@todd @paul now if you can add RGB effects while it's fetching data (or just always), then the app would go way faster
@b3ll @todd @paul everybody knows red apps go faster
@stroughtonsmith @b3ll @todd @paul where’s the icon variant with the spoiler? Everybody knows adding a spoiler makes it go faster
@todd @paul does this have the same limitation as some other apps that it switches back to the default icon when the app is not running?
@nicoreese @paul yep. Apple would need to do some work to allow the icon to persist when you quit. Really just leave the app running all the time 😀
@todd @nicoreese @paul Does NSDockTilePlugIn work in App Store/sandboxed/… apps? @marioguzman implemented it for his apps and it’d do the trick, but I’ve heard there are limitations?
@tomn94 @todd @nicoreese @paul NSDockTilePlugIn unfortunately is not allowed on the Mac App Store.
@tomn94 @todd @nicoreese @paul and it works wonderfully. Panic uses the same plug in for Nova to keep their user set custom icon between launches.
@marioguzman @tomn94 @todd @nicoreese @paul Just found this thread and now I am sad. I guess it's Feedback time! FB12771829
@todd @paul OMG you figured it out! :) Yay!
@todd @paul hooray! I get my RIP icon everywhere! ❤️
@todd @paul I imagine that only applies if the app is running; if not, having the same feature in my app but returning to the default icon when quit… TEACH ME MASTER!
@todd @paul Hey! Thanks for the new feature to change the App icon in Ivory for Mac! Is there a way of also applying the custom icon to the stage if the app is in the stage manager sidebar? Cheers!
@felixmueller @paul Weird. I’d say file a bug/feedback with Apple to support alternate icons in Stage Manager?
@todd @felixmueller 1. You can run Stage Mangler on a Mac? 2. Why would you run it on a Mac?

@paul @todd @felixmueller
If you’d asked Apple 2., they’d just refer you to 1.

Me 🤷

@paul @todd @felixmueller I’ve surprisingly seen several people using it on the Mac. Don’t quite understand it myself, but they seem to like it.
Use Stage Manager to organize apps and windows on Mac

Stage Manager organizes apps and windows so that your desktop is clutter-free and you can stay focused.

Apple Support
@paul @todd @felixmueller It “clicked” for me when I realized stage manager was better that constantly swiping to access different Spaces.
@Aaron @paul @todd @felixmueller
Stage Manger on Mac doesn’t replace Spaces. You can use it with Spaces. It gives you Stages within each Space. It’s like nested folders in the file system!
@platkus @paul @todd @felixmueller Oh I know you can use both. For me, SM replaces my need for Spaces.

@paul @todd @felixmueller There are literally dozens of us!

For real on larger desktops I find it much easier to group windows in stage manager than to deal with multiple spaces. Having all the windows appear on a single screen in Expose when you need that is also a big bonus. IMO it actually works better on macOS than on iPadOS
