Spotify icon (on Mac)

Spotify icon (on Mac)

The Spotify logo on the daskbar turned into black-green in a update. Can you change it back (i.e. green)? It looks quite bad.

Hi, i just noticed that the app Symbol on MacOS has doesn't have its translucent background anymore and is weirdly aligned making it look distorted.

In Launchpad the symbol seems low res and does not look great.

I can deal with the black background, but the weird angle is bugging me out lol.

Im sure this is not how it's supposed to look?

Thanks!

 

My current OS is Sequoia 15.6.1 and the about section in Spotify tells this:
1.2.71.421.g794ff5e5

Thanks Vasil! how do i know if there is an update avaliable?

Hey @luis21501,

 

The app updates on its own when you start it, so you'll receive any new fixes & features automatically 🙂
In case there's an update available and it's not already installed, you will see a blue dot next to your settings:

 

 

Cheers! We're here for you in case further questions arise.

it looks horrible smh

I thought I was hallucinating cuz everyone said it was always black 💔

There reason for the icon changing is because it looked odd in macOS 26 (where all icon have the same shape) so they changed it to make it look familiar. 

Just don't change it on macOS prior to Tahoe. It looks horrible.
