I think iOS 26.1 changed the dock, so icons are no longer aligned with the grid above. I am not into this.

I don’t think this comment will age well. You don’t spend USD$1 billion on something just to give it away. Very likely the plan is freemium. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9YR...

I’ve been working on the iStat Menus, Pinwheel, and Skala Icon Composer app icons. Pinwheel’s icon was updated a couple of weeks ago, and iStat Menus will be soon. It’s great that the mono versions can be entirely different, if you’d like.

Surprisingly, my two biggest gripes with macOS 26 are the lock screen clock animating to the current time, and the new terrible window tabs. The clock seems to animate only when the laptop lid is opened, rather than every time macOS wakes. It’s incredibly distracting.

The new iOS 26 and macOS app icon shape looks like it is based on the iOS 7 app icon shape with a larger radius, rather than a superellipse. Here’s an image diff with my best attempt matching a superellipse. It’s not quite the same.

Can the new Icon Composer Mac app icons use Display P3 colours? It seems like the answer is yes, from my testing. Next thing: The Finder and QuickLook preview of Display P3 Icon Composer Mac app icons is incorrect. marcedwards.me/images/share...

Pinwheel 1.6.1 is out! It fixes some bugs and adds the ability to copy colours in any format and colour space. If you’d like to copy colours in the format that matches their properties, just use “copy”. bjango.com/mac/pinwheel/

This is a far better idea for iOS 26 and macOS 26. And honestly, an obvious one. Maybe make them look like fully 3D capsules with a bit of a highlight on the top as well? parkerortolani.blog/2025/08/04/t...
