Starting with Mac OS 16, Document Icons can be generated by defining a background and a Foreground element (see Apple Documentation).
I've defined the mentioned elements in my Assets and in the info.plist. Unfortunately I still can't see my custom icons. Neither on existing files, nor on newly saved files. I even added a Legacy Icon - which is also not shown in Mac OS.
The full source code of the app is over at gitHub
.
Would be great if someone could point out what I'm not seeing here.
Thanks a lot, Holger
