Hi @Forpli
I installed the white sur icon theme and the icons are markedly different from the Mac OS icons (see below)
That is not quite right. You have it in .local/share/icons/01-WhiteSur/
You have to take the 3 Folders WhiteSur, WhiteSur-dark and WhiteSur-light and put them directly in .local/share/icons and not in this 01-WhiteSur Folder and then in the Direction.
Hi @Abdulhalim
Thank you for the suggestion
Hi @Ponce-De-Leon
I realised that and deleted the white sur 01 folder, downloaded the white sur icon pack and installed. After selecting white sur in the theme section of Zorin appearance the icons were markedly different from Mac OS icons and the show apps icon was still a grid of nine dots. I am convinced the issue relates to dock2dash animated extension.
I have changed the icons pack to Mac Tahoe icons and when I disable dash2dock animated and select dash the icon issue is fixed:
Best regards,
Hi @Ponce-De-Leon,
I have checked all the settings in dash2dock animated and the only option is to show or hide the all apps icon. There is no option to change the icon.
Hi @Forpli and @Ponce-De-Leon
I have disabled the show all apps icon (this is accessible from the apple icon on the top panel) I have used a Mac OS tahoe background with the tahoe icons. I think this is the best I can do for now.
Best regards
With MacTahoe it also works with the animated dash2dock extension. That are screenshots with the MacTahoe theme. If you want to set it up this way, we help you to do it. You can see my json file. I only have created this file, nothing else, and then logged out and logged in again. The icon is named "2view-app-grid-2" in the MacTahoe theme. This time it was easier to find it. I'm sure, you will manage it, too!!
Here is the place where it is saved (for the light theme), but you don´t need to copy or move the icon, you only need the name which is the same for light and dark icon:
Hi @Forpli
Thank you, I will give it another try and let you know.
Best regards
Only if you feel like it—it shouldn't be a must. But it would be a shame if you gave up just before reaching your goal. Don't forget to log out—it only works after that!
Thank you @Forpli
It would be good to complete the theme. I will let you know how I get on. Thank you for all your help.
Hi @Forpli
Success!
On my system the file was still called view-app-grid. I modified the text file and following log out and log in again, the correct icon is displayed.
Thank you for your assistance and patience. I have also applied the Mac OS Tahoe theme to complete the look.
Best regards
I have also seen this icon, but I thought you want the other one. I'm glad it works now!
Hi @Forpli
I could not find the icon you used. I think the icon I used is the Mac Tahoe version.
If I remember right, the icon "2view-app-grid-2" only exists in the light and dark version of MacTahoe, not in the general version. So after I switched to MacTahoe light or MacTahoe dark (in Zorin Appearance), it worked with this icon.
Edit: When I downloaded a MacTahoe icon theme today, this icon was nowhere to be found. I don't know what I did differently yesterday.
Hi @Forpli,
Thank you for this, I could not find the 2view-app-grid2 icon on my system.
For future reference if I need to change any other icons, do I just add the instruction to the json file?
Best regards
Yes, but you'll probably have to try a bit until you find out the commands if you want to change other apps.
For the app grid you know now how it works.
Maybe someone can tell you how to find out the IDs for apps. In the description is mentioned to use the logs, but I don´t know how to do.
I tried to replace the icons of the file manager nautilus, brave browser and gnome software, and it worked. It helped me to take a look a the desktop files of the apps to find out the names.
Thank you @Forpli
I am probably not going to make any more changes for now. It was for future use. The only icon I am likely to change is the music icon. I am unsure which is the best music player for Linux and once I have determined that I am likely to change the icon to the Apple Music icon.
Best regards
Thank you @wesoliv429
I will watch the video.
Coming back to this, I'll soon make an updated guide for macOS Tahoe and later.
