- macOS 26 Tahoe replaces custom-shaped app icons with iOS-style squircle icons, removing personality from the Dock.
- Users can manually restore custom icon shapes by replacing the app icon via Finder's Get Info and Resources folder.
- Developers can override the default squircle icon by using NSDockTile API to display custom-shaped icons at runtime.
- Backing up current .icns files is recommended as developers may update to squircle icons in future updates.
