# Kitty App Icon 

![](doc/header.png)

A set of alternative app icons for [Kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/).

## Changes

* **2023-07-08** re-exported with P3 display color profile instead of sRGB. Improves color saturation on P3 capable displays.

## Installation

### MacOS

1. Find `kitty.app` in the `Applications` folder, select it and press `⌘ + i`.

2. Drag the `.icns` file for your favourite variant from `build/` onto the application icon in the `kitty info` pane.

3. Delete the icon cache and restart `Dock`:

```bash

rm /var/folders/*/*/*/com.apple.dock.iconcache; killall Dock

```

### Linux

1. Locate the kitty logos in `/usr/lib/kitty/logo`

2. Backup existing `kitty.png` & `kitty-128.png` (may need to do this as root, depending on how you installed kitty)

3. Locate your favourite variant in `build/`

4. Copy `icon_128x128.png` to `/usr/lib/kitty/logo` rename to `kitty-128.png`

5. Copy `icon_32x32.png` to `/usr/lib/kitty/logo` and rename to `kitty.png`

6. (optional) Depending on your DE and installation you may need to change the launcher icon. For xfce you can press super + space and search for kitty, right click on the result and click edit application. From there you can swap out the icon with one from this repository.
