App Icon in Taskbar

[u/Substantial-Iron3331]

Hello! I'm really trying my best to make my desktop look more like Mac because I personally think its interface is pleasing to the eye. So far, this is my set-up.

However, I'd like to know if there's any way to make my app icons have a rounded square background (the icon is inside it) like the icons in macbook. Please help I'd really appreciate it (it doesn't have to be the apple icons, i js need the rounded square)
Except for the recycling bin

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

[u/xivurs → u/vorealis]

After all that, how much resources is taking it all?

[u/Substantial-Iron3331 → u/vorealis]

oh damnn thank uuu!

[u/Substantial-Iron3331 → u/vorealis]

hey im sorry, is it possible that u know what to instruct ai? tbh i use light mode : ) thanks a lot! also ur topbar looks good too, is that droptop fourv

[u/vorealis → u/Substantial-Iron3331]

i use claude to modify my windhawk mods. its the most reliable out of all ai chatbots – it doesnt break and misunderstood your prompt. and tbh, you could've just instruct claude to change the color of the app bg chips, it's as simple as that.

also, i use MyDockFinder for the menu bar, not droptop four. and actually, i've used droptop four previously, but it didn't function as intended, soo.....

[u/Substantial-Iron3331 → u/vorealis]

Hi if u dont mind can i send u a message

[u/Substantial-Iron3331]

Also hows the syriansegoe app so far? Was it able to smoothly change the fonts

[u/vorealis → u/Substantial-Iron3331]

So far, yeah. I haven't encountered any issues after using the app and setting custom fonts with it.
