We did recently change how custom icons work, so this is very believable, but I can't reproduce it. The configuration works for me and the dock tile plugin takes 0% CPU (as it should). I'd love to get this figured out before the 1.3 release, not sure if you or anyone else has any more info... |

It's working fine here, MacOS Sequoia latest tip I'm using this in my Ghostty settings: (try a full path to the custom icon and see if it helps) Also worth trying - Info on the G app bundle (Cmd-I), click the icon and hit backspace to reset icon to bundle default, in case you manually dragged an icon to the app bundle. |

So, knowing that this is not reproducible, I made some other tests. One point I didn't mentioned is that I renamed the app GhosttyTip. In this setup I trigger the bug systematically (I even deleted that application and reinstalled it): 
If I name the application Ghostty, everything works as expected: Now the stable version don't seems to have this behaviour, and also, in the finder application view the default icons remains for the TIP version: 
In the dock though, everything looks good even when the application is closed (switched to another icon to confirm): Sorry I can't give more details, these are just observations, not sure how I can debug this kind of behaviour. |

I think I know what it is. Stand by. |

I'm going to mark as the answer, once we merge you can try latest tip and let me know if that doesn't resolve it. I'll listen to email notifications. |

@mitchellh, just pulled the latest tip version, and now everything work as expected! |

I was still having this issue on 1.3.0 and couldn't set a built-in
and that worked. Then I added my full config back and could change the icon to any built-in or custom icon. Not sure why, but maybe this will help someone else. |

hey @jasonlong did you have any success with your issue? I feel like I have the same one.. |
|
I haven't had any more issues since doing what I mentioned above (temporarily wiping everything out of my config except for that single line). |
|
I still have this issue on macos tahoe 26.4, how to fix it? |
afair these two (mean values) does not play together. check the docs |
My bad, wrong copy. If i set custom, it's still same |
|
my source of the issue was quite different but uninstall+install of the app helped. you can try it. at least it will not be worse |
I already did it but nothing happen |
This fixed the issue thanks. |
