Florian HeidenreichAll this talk about the app icon being the visual identity of your app and then this forced visual disgrace.
Wolfgang Stoiber@fhe wait. This isn‘t optional? (I hope there‘s a ‚defaults write‘ for that…
@woefi No, as it looks, all app icons that are somewhat special, i.e., don’t use a squircle with background are forced into the grey box.
This also applies to Things, CyberDuck, ScreenFloat, Diagrams, Transmit, …
@fhe I’m sorry for your icon… but how would the system decide when to box it? I remember in the iOS 6 era there was this „-precomposed“ keyword to tell the system to leave it alone.

Nathan Manceaux-Panot@fhe Aww, breaking outside the square was one of my favorite things about Mac app icons. So now, the best icons are the worst-looking ☹️ I wonder if that gray enclosure is final, or if they plan to add a bit more dignity.
I already like replacing any app icon that’s not updated for the Big Sur square, but on Tahoe that’ll be almost mandatory!
