A better menu bar icon for Allternit Desktop

A

The problem

The current menu bar icon is the wide A:// mark, drawn 45 pt wide by 18 pt tall. Other menu bar icons are about 16–18 pt square. Ours is about 2.5 times as wide as the ChatGPT or Claude icon next to it. Its small, spaced-out blocks also make it look lighter and greyer than its neighbours.

The fix is the A on its own, the same A that is on the app icon. It is drawn square at the standard 18 pt size. It stays a template image, so macOS tints it for light and dark menu bars.

B

In your real menu bar

Top row: what ships now. Rows 2–4: options A, B and C, placed into a capture of your actual menu bar at the same scale.

Pick one

choice
- A · Solid A: the app-icon A in blocks, core filled. The closest match to the app icon. (Recommended)- B · A with the core cut out: the empty block marks where the coral core sits on the app icon.- C · A on a plate: a filled rounded square with the A cut out. Heaviest, like the ChatGPT and Claude marks.
