Thanks to @kotx for the tip to update without restarting Arc! ↩
First of all thank you for the effort put into this article!
But thinking out loud here, would there be a reason why not adding all icons into the availableAppIconNames list would work? I am not very well traveled when it comes to writing to the defaults, but I can clearly see my available icons running:
defaults read company.thebrowser.Browser availableAppIconNames
Maybe one of you guys who know what they are doing would know how if this is possible?
Thank you in advance!
