Custom Icons#

Replace any app or folder icon with a custom one. Custom icons are stored in a local library so you can reuse them across docks.

Changing an icon#

  1. Right-click an item in the dock → Change Icon
  2. The icon picker opens with options for:

    • Library — Icons you've already imported
    • URL — Download an icon from a URL
    • File — Upload from a local file
  3. Select or import an icon → Apply

To go back to the original icon, right-click the item → Revert to Original Icon.

Supported formats#

  • PNG (recommended — supports transparency)
  • JPEG
  • ICNS (macOS icon files)

High-resolution icons (512x512 or larger) work best. Icons are automatically resized for the dock.

Icon library#

All imported icons are saved to your local icon library. You can manage the full library from Settings (⚙) → Icon Library:

  • Search icons by name
  • Delete icons you no longer need

Icons associated with a specific app appear first when you open the picker for that app.

Widgets#

Some widgets, such as URL and Folder Stack, can also use custom icons from the same icon library.

Tips#

  • PNG with transparency gives the cleanest look
