The Twitter for Mac black icon
In case you haven´t notice, the Twitter for Mac icon has gone thru quite a few changes in a very short time, check this link for a nice overview of the twitter icon saga.
It happens that I prefer the black icon, so if you are like me (nerd) then here is a quick guide to change your twitter for mac back in black:
- Go to your Applications folder.
- Right click (or ctrl click) the twitter for mac icon and select get info.
- Click on the little lock on the bottom right and authenticate.
- Change the Sharing & Permissions to Read & Write.
- Now Right click again on the twitter app and select show package contents.
- Navigate to the folder Contents and then Resources.
- Drag and copy the file “Icon2.icns” to your desktop and rename this file to “icon.icns” (you might want to backup the originals before you do this)
- Drag the just newly renamed file from your desktop to the Resources folder.
- Done.
This worked for me, but there is another guide here that you might want to try.
