Docker's Icon is the only round icon in my Dock #5536
When can we expect Docker to update the app icon to respect the macOS guideline ?
The change has been announced more than a year ago and this feels like a change that would only take a few minutes if someone actually cared to execute this task.
Docker has old icon for year now after Big Sur release. It introduces kind of inconsistency with other icons. It will be great to see new icon aligned with guidelines.
I logged in just to find/upvote or create this issue, if it did not already exist. I installed Docker Desktop for macOS yesterday and love it so far. But I would like to see the icon updated for consistency with current Apple guidelines.
I'm sorry for the misleading comment. I tried by restarting Docker and also by quitting and starting it again. And it didn't change.
I noticed I'm using Monterey (macOS 12) and the icon is "only" for Big Sur (macOS 11). I tried to find documentation/guidelines from Apple, but it's only mentioned macOS 11.
Given the native Apple's app icons (like Calendar, Mail, Messages...), I would say the guideline has been maintained. What do you think?

That would've been nonsense. Of course guidelines are FROM Big Sur on including all following OS versions. If Docker changes icon not for version 11 and above but for 11 exactly, that's clearly a bug.

That would make no sense, yeah. Also, I have Monterey myself and the icon is there.
@henriquemattos, I just finally installed Monterey and icon is correct. So I guess problem is on your machine. Try removing Docker.app from /Applications. Then drag new one from freshly downloaded *.dmg. Should not affect data or settings.
While Docker.app has an icon, the embedded Docker Desktop.app does not. And so whenever I open Preferences or About or Check for updates... from the menu bar icon -- anything that launches Docker Desktop.ap -- I get a broken icon in the dock. (This was also the case in 4.6.)

@simoncpu thanks for your report! I've created a ticket and added it to our backlog.

It should be pointed out that the icon is not a square, but, rather, a squircle. Apple's been quite clear about this.
Anyhow, I am looking forward to the change.

Hi, any updates on this?
Thank you.
niccolomineo commentedon Jun 10, 2021
Since 3.4.0 didn't bring the new icon, I made it myself. Feel free to use it.

More and more apps getting new icons. Very excited to see new icon aligned with new guidelines.
niccolomineo commentedon Oct 14, 2021
We're still with the round icon though.

I'm closing this issue, as a fix for this has been released on Docker Desktop 4.8.1!
