Why use it

Dia has one icon. A different one can suit your Dock or your wallpaper, and the change shows right away, with no relaunch.

  • Handy if you want Dia to stand out less, or more.
  • Skip it if you like Dia's own icon.

Turn it on

Open Dia → Settings → Patches and switch on App Icon. Or run:

diatweaks enable appIcon

Options

The menu under the switch in Settings lists the icons.

  • Dia: Default, which is Dia's own icon, and Classic.
  • Colors: Blue, Green, Neutral, Orange, Pink, Purple, Red or Yellow.

FAQ

Does it work with the Dark, Clear and Tinted icon styles?

Yes. Every icon works in Default, Dark, Clear and Tinted. Change the style in System Settings, and the icon follows.

Do I need to relaunch Dia?

No. The Dock icon changes in about a tenth of a second. If Dia was set up before this tweak existed, turning it on the first time may ask you to relaunch once.

Why is my icon a little off in Clear?

If you pick a color while the Clear style is on, the color can look a bit different until the style changes next.

What happens when I turn it off?

Dia's own icon comes back.
