Reverting application icon

:sob: I liked the old one better. I’m currently on version 3.5.0 and the icon is purple.

System Settings—> Appearance—>Icon & Widget Style—>then select Dark, Tinted or Clear.

You can also read the similar threads about this elsewhere in the forums.

Search is your friend. There are a couple of threads if you do a search that explain the icon, all the hysteria over it, and what Keith has in mind.

BTW, the old icon is PURPLE, not black. It just looks black.

Thank you! Hopefully it could be changed, but the system color is a bit too much lol. I saw in another thread that they’ll revise it in the next version, so I’m going to wait for that.

The icon for Scrivener 3.4 was nicer than the ā€˜liquid glass’ one used by the Mac OS. It was like embossed ink on parchment paper… I don’t even know what liquid glass is.

Just following up that I appreciate the developer considering the feedback and going back to what I think is a far more elegant (nearly) black & white app icon.

Mine changed from the boring black and white one to a lovely shiny bluey colored one. Now it’s gone back to the original amber I don’t know why.
How can I get it back?

Perhaps those of us who prefer the ā€˜old new’ icon should kick up a fuss and make more noise than the luddites and get it back :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Sorry Keith, I know you have far more important work to do. :grinning_face:

Just wanted to say thanks for bringing back the old style icon, it feels much more at home.

Don’t forget, if you are using macOS 26, you can also change your icon theme colours:


(also notice Discord… they’ve not updated to the new UI yet)
