Like pure white and you could see how the Menu Bar blends back in there. You could always choose Custom Color and then choose any color you want. If you choose a really light background that you get a Menu Bar like that. Look what happens if you choose a black background here. So go through these and see what you like. If you go to Colors here and you choose one of these colors like this you can see how the Menu Bar reflects that and everything kind of changes to fit that color which may reflect your mood or is just your favorite color. You can use your own photo, a graphic you find online, or even a solid color. But you don't have to settle for just these. So play around with different backgrounds and you'll see you get different Menu Bar colors because it's picking up the colors of the background. If I choose one of the illustrated backgrounds, like this one, you can see how then this color is taken in from the background there. If I select the photo of Big Sur, for instance, you could see how now the light blue sky color is shown in the Menu Bar. So when I choose another Desktop background not only is it really going to change the look of everything but notice also how the Menu Bar changes. There we're going to go to Desktop & Screen Saver. ![]() The actual color you see is based on what's behind it. Well, the Menu Bar really isn't any color. A lot of times people will say, hey how can I change the Menu Bar to be a different color. But you also may not realize that the thing like the Menu Bar and even windows themselves are tinted with the color of the Desktop background. It covers your whole screen and you see it all the time.

In Finder, click on ‘Applications’ in the sidebar.I am using the iOS app icon for Photoshop here. To use this method you will need to have the new icon that you want to set saved on your Mac somewhere. If you don’t want to use the Terminal for some reason, or if you just need to change the icon for a single app and iconsur feels overkill, you can also change icons with Finder. In such a case, simply run the iconsur command again. Note: The icons might change back after app updates. You can repeat the sudo iconsur set Terminal command for as many apps as you like. Microsoft Edge Icon before (left) vs after (right) As you can see, the new icon is more in-line with Big Sur icon styles. Take a look at the before and after app icons for Microsoft Edge in the Launchpad.Once everything is done, you will see something like ‘Successfully set icon for /Applications/Microsoft Edge.app’.

For example, I want to change the icon for Microsoft Edge, so I’ll use the following command.Replace ‘app name’ with the name of the app you want to change the icon for. Once installed, just use the following command to change the app icon to a Big Sur style icon.You will see a progress bar show up, and iconsur will start being downloaded and installed on your system.
