Maybe this is too simplistic, but isn’t there a solution where the icons are 
subviews of another view that has vibrancy turned off, not directly of the 
window content view?

Or, in the worst case, a two-window solution where the icons are in a 
non-vibrant window positioned over the vibrant background window?

Because … it’s an issue of creating masks generally, or of getting icon-shaped 
bitmaps in particular?
