Alternative Icons for RStudio

These are a set of alternative icons for RStudio, specifically designed to fit macOS Big Sur aesthetic. Their main features are rounded bezels, gentle drop shodows and some gradients. I have tried to keep them as close as possible to the original icons but that's not always the case. In addition to the original icons and their variants listed here, I have designed three extra icons, the Pride, the Trans, and the Preview icons.

Besides the Big Sur icons, you can find a circular and rectangular variants of the icons as well. These might be more suitable for Windows or Linux systems.

Usage

macOS

1. Navigate to the Applications Folder.
2. Right click on the RStudio.app and select the Get Info menu.
   • Doing so will open a new form that shows some general information about the RStudio.app file.
3. Here, select the icon you prefer, and drag-and-drop it over the RStudio logo on top left of the Info window.
4. 👉🏼 If the RStudio is running, you may need to close and reopen it to get your new icon on the Dock.

Note: This is a temporary solution, and after reinstalling or updating the RStudio, you may need to overwrite your icon again.

Windows

While I specifically designed these icons for macOS, you can still use them on Windows too. Since I do not have a Windows machine and it's been a while that I have worked with them, I cannot tell you how to change your icon. Please Google it! 🔎 I know this much that you need the .ICO files, and you can find them in the Icons/Windows folder.

On Linux

On Linux, you really need to Google it! It is different from distro to distro. As far as I know, on Linux you need to use the PNG file. You can find them in the Icons/Linux folder. Good luck! 🍀

Note: I recommend to use either the rectangular or round icons on Windows or Linux. I think they are a better fit than the Big Sur icons.

Contribution

Please let me know if you have noticed any issues with any of the icons.

Known Issues

• I would like to use the white 'R' in the Trans flag icon but that's a bit tricky. If you happen to know how to do that nicely, please let me know.
