The About dialog already displays the app icon correctly from LOGO_BLACK_PATH. Added tooling and documentation to enable updating icons from macosicons.com or other sources.

Infrastructure Added

Conversion Scripts

  • scripts/convert_icon.sh - Converts PNG to ICNS, iconset (16-1200px), and menu bar variants
  • scripts/convert_icon.py - Python alternative with attempted download from macosicons.com API
  • test_icon_config.py - Validates icon files, constants, and About dialog implementation

Documentation

  • QUICK_REFERENCE.md - 3-step usage guide
  • ADDING_ICON_README.md - Detailed walkthrough with troubleshooting
  • ICON_UPDATE_INSTRUCTIONS.md - Technical reference for icon formats and manual conversion
  • readme.md - Added "Customizing the App Icon" section

About Dialog Implementation

Existing code already correct:

# macos_grok_overlay/app.py:430-438
logo_path = os.path.join(script_dir, LOGO_BLACK_PATH)
icon = NSImage.alloc().initWithContentsOfFile_(logo_path)
if icon:
    icon.setSize_(NSSize(64, 64))
    iconView = NSImageView.alloc().initWithFrame_(NSMakeRect(108, 248, 64, 64))
    iconView.setImage_(icon)
    contentView.addSubview_(iconView)

Usage

# Download icon from macosicons.com, then:
./scripts/convert_icon.sh ~/Downloads/icon.png
python3 run.py  # Verify in About dialog

Network restrictions prevent direct download; manual download required.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:
