The current desktop app icon is oversized compared to standard macOS icons, causing visual inconsistency in the Dock, Finder and App Switcher (see photos below). Per Apple's Human Interface Guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/app-icons#Specifications), macOS app icons should be:

  • 512x512px (standard)
  • 1024x1024px (high resolution @2x)
  • Follow the documented icon grid system

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install latest app version (v9.0.0)
  2. View icon in Dock
  3. Compare to other native macOS applications

Expected: Icon matches standard macOS app icon dimensions and styling
Actual: Icon appears larger and out of place compared to system apps

Small potatoes, but easy quick fix... :)
