Some platforms show the executable icon which is seems to be none and doesn't look the best. Add a way to customize this icon.

Windows 8.1 (default Windows no-icon-provided application icon)

Mac OSX (terminal looking icon)

Due to the way OS X Notifications work, the terminal icon can only be removed by recompiling terminal-notifier.app with your app's .icns, then leaving the image option blank (to use the default). Check #71

Windows 10 removes the app icon, but we currently don't have a way to remove these altogether.

For reference images of the notifications on different platforms (I only provided ones that include the vendor app icon here): gitterHQ/desktop#100 (comment)

Here are maybe some solutions for each platform:

OSX:

Windows:

  • (untested) Create a shortcut with a custom icon

The reason I recommended recompiling terminal-notifier with the custom .icns, is because of how OS X caches images. You can of course change the image by dropping it into the Get Info pane, but this is glitchy and doesn't guarantee being held when distributed from system to system.

If you find a fix for the Windows 8 notification, please let me know!

I think this unfortunately is a wont-fix and I'm closing it. If we find another better way to do this we should document it in the readme or similar.

This solved my problem and you only need to have your icns file ready:

run this command in terminal after downloading :customise-terminal-notifier

** path/customise-terminal-notifier-master/customise-terminal-notifier -i path/Terminal.icns -b com.bundle.identifier
