IceTop v0.1.5: Color Schemes, Linux Icon Fix & Settings Docs

February 21, 2026 · Alex Merced

IceTop v0.1.5 brings customizable color schemes, a critical Linux icon fix, and expanded in-app documentation.

🎨 4 Color Schemes

IceTop now ships with four built-in themes, selectable from Settings → Theme:

Theme	Description
Dark	Deep navy #0A1628 with warm yellow/orange accents
Light	Clean white/gray backgrounds with yellow/orange accents
Iceberg	Light blue backgrounds matching the IceTop icon, navy accents
Midnight (default)	Deep dark #0D1117 with cool blue #58A6FF accents

Theme changes apply instantly — no restart required. Buttons, focus rings, text selection, and scrollbars all adapt to the selected theme.

🐧 Linux Icon Fix

The application icon was not appearing on Linux .deb installs due to a file format issue — the icon files were JPEGs disguised as PNGs. All icon files have been regenerated as proper PNG images (512×512 and 256×256 RGBA), which should resolve the issue for taskbars, docks, and application launchers.

📖 Settings Documentation

A new Settings page has been added to the in-app Docs panel, covering:

• Theme selection and descriptions
• LLM provider configuration (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini)
• Database backend options (SQLite, PostgreSQL)
• PyIceberg config path and Python path
• Global catalog selector in the status bar

IceTop v0.1.4: Snippet Library, Global Catalog Selector & More

February 20, 2026 · Alex Merced

IceTop v0.1.4 is here! This release focuses on improving the developer experience with a draggable snippet library, a global catalog selector, and several quality-of-life improvements across the application.

🧩 Notebook Snippet Library

The Python Notebook now includes a built-in Snippet Library — a collection of 13 pre-written IceFrame scripts organized into three categories:

Category	Snippets
Query	Read Table Data, Query Table Metadata, Table Statistics, List Namespaces, List Tables
Table Management	Create a New Table, Upload CSV/JSON/Parquet to New Table, Append Data to Table
Maintenance	Rollback Table to Snapshot, Run Compaction, Expire Snapshots

Each snippet is fully self-contained with the necessary imports and uses the pre-connected ice (IceFrame) object. Simply drag any snippet from the sidebar into a notebook cell to get started — no boilerplate required.

🔀 Global Catalog Selector

Previously, the active catalog was hardcoded. In v0.1.4, the application dynamically reads all catalogs from your ~/.pyiceberg.yaml and lets you switch between them from the status bar at the bottom of the window. Changing the catalog here automatically updates:

• Chat — AI agent queries run against the selected catalog
• Notebook — Cell execution targets the selected catalog
• SQL — Queries execute on the active catalog

The first catalog in your config is selected by default on launch.

🔧 Additional Improvements

• Help → About IceTop: Moved the "About" information from Settings into a dedicated window accessible from the Help menu. Includes links to Alex Merced's books and Dremio.
• Dremio CTA: Added a "Get Free Catalog" button in the sidebar linking to Dremio's free trial.
• Cleaner Drag & Drop: Table names dragged from the Data Explorer no longer include the catalog prefix (e.g., my_namespace.my_table instead of my_catalog.my_namespace.my_table), since the catalog is managed globally.
• Linux Icon Fix: The application window now displays the correct IceTop icon on Linux instead of a generic placeholder.
