I would never have changed it from Mike's original folder/pen icon, so you guys are lucky Christiaan is in charge now! IMHO it's not really worth the effort to bend to every variation of Apple's design fads, especially if you support older platforms, since Apple will just find a way to make it look even stupider next year. Apple has made backwards compatibility a lot harder for developers over the last 15 years, and deserves nothing but ill will and castigation for it. One of my favorite pithy comments on Apple's new icons was linked on Michael Tsai's blog: https://mjtsai.com/blog/2026/01/13/apple-creator-studio/ Héliographe: "If you put the Apple icons in reverse it looks like the portfolio of someone getting really really good at icon design." https://mastodon.social/@heliographe_studio/115890819509545391 Adam _______________________________________________ Bibdesk-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bibdesk-users
