I have a problem with Sourcetree App for Mac. I do not like the new icon, I prefer the standard one. How to restore it?

  • It will change back at the end of this month. Can you wait that long?

    @slhck - It fights that change, apparently. There's a method posted this morning on AD - apple.stackexchange.com/questions/362676/… tbh, I don't know what all the fuss is about.

    It can come as default but I think there should be an option to change it.

    On the contrary, @Tetsujin, there's a solution for Google, too: chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/doodle-blocker-for-google/…

    It was fun for a day or two, but it broke my muscle memory of being able to cmd+tab/alt+tab over to Sourcetree by relying on the icon. So it's fair enough to ask how to change it back.

Reset to default

Close the app, run this one liner:

perl -i -p -e 's/Pridetree/Bridetree/;' /Applications/Sourcetree.app/Contents/Resources/Assets.car

Then restart the app.

You may want to backup Assets.car just in case you want the colourful logo back.

The way to change icon for Sourcetree app

There is a solution how to change the icon for the Mac:

  1. Launch the app from https://github.com/alexzielenski/ThemeEngine
  2. On the Sourcetree.app - right click - show package contents - Contents - resources.
  3. Copy Assets.car and sourcetree.icns to any folder.
  4. Run ThemeEngine.app (from extracted zip, above)
  5. In ThemeEngine open Assets.car file
  6. Extract icons from sourctree.icns file (simple copy-paste) and save new icons with Photoshop with 512x512 and 1024x1024 pixels. Or find any icons for replacing.
  7. Find the icon in the Assets.car with name Pridetree.
  8. Copy a new icon (image) to the clipboard and paste to Pridetree icons.
  9. Save the document.
  10. Replace Assets.car in the app Contents/Resources folder version of my Sourcetree is 3.0.1
