I think the developer needs to respond to this and listen to the Accidental Tech Podcast episode 356 starting at 1:32:17, John Siracusa describes this exact problem. I'm willing to give the developer the benefit of the doubt, but this is conjecture because as a non-developer, this is how I would do this. So, I assume the developer is using screen recording to grab the current desktop backgorund and then display that image on top of everything, hiding your icons. I haven't done a deep dive to see if it's sending data out, but it's something worth considering. It's a messy implementation and the easy way out and without proper notification, causes freak outs and 1-star reviews. Tons and tons of hand selected and beautiful icons, some are individual others are sets, covering a wide range of themes. ![]() WeLoveIcons as the name suggests, they love icons and it shows. The Mac OS Finder icon at the top of this article is from this set, highly recommended. One of the options was to use Quartz Display Services which can grab an image of your desktop background, but it requires screen recording to do so. Artua: Free Mac Icons the QuickTime X icons here are simply beautiful. I'm not a developer, but I'm reminded of John Siracusa talking about his app SwitchGlass (which is awesome btw), and the implementation of grabbing the desktop background for use in the app Preferences window. The implementation probably needs some work or explanation. The pro version works with multiple desktops, also works fine. Does what it says with a caveat (Screen Recording prompt)
