              New icon mostly looks good on Apple.

              • Installer icon: new icon, formatted correctly
              • Dock icon: new icon, formatted correctly
              • Desktop alias: new icon, the new icon appears within squircle jail
              • Finder icon: old icon

              What is odd to me is that the igb_128.icns file in the repository is the new updated one, but when I look at the app.icns file in the Resources folder of IGB once installed, it has a mix of the old and new images. The mix of images looks like they are being pulled from the various igb images from the branding folder. The install4j configuration says it is supposed to use the igb_128.icns, but I don't think it is working that way.

              Paige created multiple png images, I can try adding them to IGB and see if the installer picks them up.

              UPDATE:
              I replaced all of the png files in the IGB > distribution > branding folder with the new versions. When I built the installer the app.icns within the Resources folder had the updated images and the Finder icon was the new image. The desktop alias was still stuck in squircle jail, however.

              I can push these changes, but visually the only difference was the very small Finder icon.

              Next step:

              • Let's push the branch to the main repository for safekeeping
              • Revisit later when closer to making a new release
