Hi guys!

I'm Charles and I'm new here, so forgive me if I make mistakes while posting on this forum

I was wondering: is it possible to change JDownloader's icon for macOS?

Indeed, macOS Big Sur introduced a big change in icons, and because I like things to be tidy and organised, I would like JDownloader's icon to match the iOS style icons of Big Sur.

However, I tried to change the icon of the app, of the .jar files, I even replaced the app.icns file inside the Contents of the JDownloader app (JDownloader2.app, I can't enter JDownloader2.jar) and still, the old icon appears in the Dock when JDownloader is running.

Am I doing something wrong? Is it indeed possible to change the icon of the running JDownloader application? And if yes, what are the steps needed?

Thank you a lot in advance for your help,
Have a great and safe day,
Kindest,
Charles

we will work on this so JDownloader does this automatically on BigSur

The Icon is set by JDownloader on runtime. Open About dialog, there you can find/open the JDownloader directory and then in themes folder, there you will find the icons

Thank you so much Jiaz for your quick answer!

I found the culprit: it's jd_logo_128_128.png!

I changed all the files in this list and 128x128 is the only one that caused a change:

• jd_logo_54_54_trans.png (No change)
• jd_logo_54_54.png (No change)
• jd_logo_64_64.png (No change)
• jd_logo_128_128.png (Effective change)
• jd_logo_256_256.png (No change)

Here is a screenshot of the change (I used the iOS icon for MyJDownloader):
(I can't make the image appear in this post, sorry ^^")

Thank you so much again!

Thanks for the feedback and you're welcome. We will update JD to automatically apply a *rounded corner* filter to the image

Thanks to your fine sleuth work @N3M1C0 I could finally get my jD2 custom icon to appear in the dock.
Great. Love it. 10 thumbs up!
