New app + main menu + menu bar icons

[Zabriskije]

Hey Ian,

I've made a new app icon to conform with Apple's HIG used since Big Sur, and while I was there, I also modified the menu bar icon and the main menu icons (swapped with SF Symbols ones + fallbacks for macOS 11 and earlier).

I've made a build, and everything seems fine (Ventura 13.4, Xcode 14.3).

Here's a preview:

This is awesome! Thank you! I'll give it a whirl to see how the status item icons look, but this is really cool! Much better than my hack job in gimp ten years ago.

I just did a double take typing out "ten years ago."

So glad you like it :)

Would be fun to read a new post about those ten years in your blog 👀

This is great, how do I open the settings now?

[ianyh]

It's a different icon in the status bar.

[scottrohrig]

Sorry I should have said, I disabled the icon in the menu bar.

[ianyh]

If you launch the application when it is open, that should open settings.

Okay, that's what I read. Thanks for the quick reply. Hmm. Looks like I have an issue with my machine then, because it doesn't do that. I'll make a config file and reset it there.

It's possible I broke the behavior somehow. I can give you a terminal command to run, but probably not until the morning. You can also add a configuration file that sets that flag to false.

@scottrohrig if you still need it:

% defaults write com.amethyst.Amethyst hide-menu-bar-icon 0

Thanks, I added the config file and manually set it from there. That brought the settings window up again when launching the app and the icon showed up again. Things are all good now. Dig the new icons also.
