@sinedoOo Thanks for feedback.
Are you interested on fixing it?
Because I cannot test on Mac right now, it could be very helpful :)

I quickly prepared Icon Composer project for light/dark/clear variants of Tabularis icon just to realise that it's not supported by Tauri yet :/

Issue to track: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/pull/14671 (planned for Tauri 2.11 release)

As soon as it will be supported by Tauri I'm happy to upload it to repo.

Preview of icons:

I think that effect would be much better if Icon Composer would be feed with vector version of logotype. Then it could possibly adapt dynamically to glass feet depth and such.

I think we misunderstood each other. Icon Composer projects are not yet supported by Tauri. So there's no way to use it here. At least that's what I understood from Tauri documentation...

Anyway, I have no experience with Tauri and Mac development at all, I'm just really enjoying this app for web development but staring at this "broken" icon is quite unpleasant for me :P

Do you have SVG version of logotype? If yes, I can play with it a bit more to prepare proper Liquid Glass versions of logotype ;)

Hi!
Unfortunately I don't have it, since I am not a designer :)
But I think it's easy to create starting from PNG, right?

Actually it's easy and not easy at the same time. There are tools that can reproduce the look of PNG with vectors. But there is a chance that it will be not 100% accurate and slightly different.

ook, since i am not a designer I originally created the logo with AI.
However, I believe the time has come to evolve it into something more professional.
If you have the skills and would like to help us with this, I would be very grateful.
