Calibre and Tahoe Dark Mode icon?

institute · 02-07-2026, 10:23 AM

Hi all,

I did a search but could not find any discussion on this topic. Will Calibre be updated to show the MacOS Tahoe icon variations, specifically the Dark Mode?

Thanks

No plans for it, but patches are most welcome. I assume you are talking about the actual calibre application icon in the dock.

Yes! The default icon is very white and stands out. I have removed it from the dock for now.

Ended up finding a Calibre Dark Mode icon online and pasted it into Calibre application Get Info box. Will serve for now but I will have to do this for each update.

Can you just replace the icon outside of calibre?

Not that I know of. Is this an option?

Thanks for the video although I have already followed the paste into Get Info method as mentioned in my post above and the "create a script with the desired icon to open the app" is even clunkier. Ideally the Tahoe app variations become part of Calibre itself.
