Hey! Is there any way to change the icon of the anaconda navigator app to a custom one? I’m able to change the icon of the app, in the same way as any other icon, but as soon as I launch the app the icon changes to the old icon: ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/anaconda/original/2X/f/f3c7a151ed35aca469778b2b4f75b3c6b320c407.png) I would love to customize to something like this: ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/anaconda/original/2X/2/262dd57ab080a5830ac22e44d6ab9e80b7d9e04b.jpeg) Does anyone know how to achieve this? ---

Hello! I’m trying to do the same thing, I found [this article](https://eshop.macsales.com/blog/28492-create-your-own-custom-icons-in-10-7-5-or-later/) which is pretty helpful. It looks like if you already have the .incs file, a simple drag and drop will do. Out of curiosity, wear did you find those icons in you attached photo? I can’t find any service that provides something close to it. Hope this helps! ---

Icons here: [https://macosicons.com](https://macosicons.com) The method in your article is how in general icons for apps work in macOS, but not for anaconda navigator, since the app is just a wrapper of something else (python package I think). So yeah, the app icon would be whatever you set dragging and dropping into the navigator app, but when you run the app, it changes to the original icon. I know how to change on some python apps, like Calibre (the book library manager), but I failed to do so with the navigator so far. ---

So… the problem: ![Feb-17-2023 12-09-52](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/anaconda/original/2X/6/62e1cc88f771e16bf7f3c9eb7068381762f85c8c.gif)
