This is prob silly, but I have mild ocd, I liked the old icon and I cannot come to terms with the new one, any way to revert to it, I don't even know how it changed, I haven't even updated warp.
#Any way to get old icon?

Hi @plain pond. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Yes, there is a way to revert to the old Warp icon. However, please note that the icon will change back to the new one whenever Warp is updated. Here are the steps to change the icon:
-
Download the old icon file. A member of the Warp team shared the old icon file in a Github issue (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/2703). You can download it from there.
-
Replace the new icon with the old one. Here's a script shared by a user in the same Github issue that you can use to change the icon:
function fix_warp_icon() {
cp ~/.customicons/Warp.icns /Applications/Warp.app/Contents/Resources/Warp.icns
touch /Applications/Warp.app
pkill -f "Warp.app"
}
- If an update of Warp changes the icon, go to another terminal application (the default
TerminalApp will do) and type infix_warp_icon. Warp should be killed (if open) and its icons should be replaced for the next time you start the app.
Remember, you'd have to do this on every Warp update.
If you want to change the icon manually, you can follow these steps:
- Open the Applications folder
- Find Warp
- Press on Warp then press cmd+i to open "Get Info"
- Drag and drop a png into the Get Info pane to the top left original icon
Please note that this is a known issue with Warp on MacOS. When Warp is updated, it creates a new icon in the dock instead of using the existing one. This issue has been reported by multiple users and it seems to be specific to Warp, not occurring with other terminal applications. The Warp team is aware of this issue, as it has been reported in multiple GitHub issues. However, it's unclear when a fix will be available. For now, you'll need to continue with the workaround of manually updating the dock icon after each Warp update. You can follow the updates on this issue here (https://discord.com/channels/851854972600451112/1238194350819770490).
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

I don't believe this was the official old icon, the background should be black/very very dark gray right?

There's a GitHub Issue post that someone linked the original logo and I know the Dev's have seen it and not removed it so I guess it's ok to point that out...
@swift gust Can you give me the links to the GitHub threads regarding using the old logo and provide the download link like you have before?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Certainly! I can provide you with the information about the GitHub threads discussing the old Warp logo and the download link for it.
The main GitHub issue discussing the Warp icon change is Issue #2703: Change warp icon (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/2703). In this thread, a Warp team member shared the classic Warp icon file. Here's the relevant information:
- Download link for the old Warp icon:
Warp.icns.zip (https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17437915/Warp.icns.zip)
This link was provided by a Warp team member in a comment on the issue. They noted that while they're sharing the old icon, it will change on Warp updates.
Additionally, there are a few other related GitHub issues discussing the Warp icon:
- Issue #3256: I don't like your app icon, make it look more like a terminal (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/3256)
- Issue #1865: The application icon is extremely unrecognizable (https://github.com/warpdotdev/Warp/issues/1865)
These threads contain further discussions about the Warp icon and user preferences for a more terminal-like appearance.
