[MlMt] Any tips how to get out of (icon) jail

[Henry Seiden]

Andre,

This was not fixed in the last Test Build (r6292), to my observation, however I did implement a fix from the link you indicated and it looks darker black BG as others. Therefore my dock icon is no longer in “jail”.

Benny is busy with new builds and probably hasn’t addressed this issue yet, but you (or Steve) can file feedback on it if you like. IMO this issue is definitely cosmeticians related to MacOS icon development. I do not know if Apple plans to address this change.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
