Better Icon for Kitty

Posted on June 9, 2022 in terminal, tools, kitty

Official instructions are here but it did not work for me.

I did not understand Drag kitty.icns onto the application icon in the kitty info pane part. I tried dragging the icon, but could not make it work.

I gave up. I can live with the default icon.

But then I came across the following instructions here.

Clear instructions that I can execute from inside kitty 😄

cp /tmp/kitty.icns /Applications/kitty.app/Contents/Resources/kitty.icns
rm /var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.dock.iconcache
touch /Applications/kitty.app
killall Dock && killall Finder

FWIW, I am using this icon
