Dark Icon for MacOS 26

er3nweeber

It would be better to offer Dark Icons to choose from settings as it is disturbing to see it as odd one out from the Dock, since in MacOS 26, native apps support that transition and it would matter a lot. Liquid Glass for the browser is not needed right now, since Orion clearly stands out with compact view and with mini toolbar for me.

On macOS 26.2, Orion (version 1.0.2 / build 141) does not switch its app icon to the dark variant when using the system app icon appearance settings.

Transparent and tinted/colored icon modes work as expected, but selecting the Dark icon appearance does not affect the Orion app icon. The icon remains in its standard (light) appearance.

Steps to reproduce:

Open macOS System Settings
Go to Appearance / App Icon Appearance
Select Dark icon appearance
Observe the Orion app icon in the Dock or Applications folder

The issue occurs consistently. Safari correctly switches to its dark app icon under the same system settings, indicating that macOS supports this behavior.

When the macOS app icon appearance is set to Dark, Orion should switch to its dark icon variant, consistent with system behavior and other native macOS applications.
