News New .pkg icon
I don't know, in my opinion it looks bad, mainly on a white background. What's the deal with whitening out icons lately? 😭
EDIT: I arrived to point out a poor UI/UX design, I am staying for the “It reminds me of…” by the community lmao

Totally missed that, but indeed you're right. I liked the old one better too, though I won't lose any sleep over this.

Yeahhh, agree, I mean, it's not like we see .pkg files daily to be bothered by it haha. It's just so random lol. Like, out of everything they could have done, someone just woke up and was like "Hmm, I am gonna update the .pkg icon" xD

It's terrible. Why do they need to change that anyway? Aren't there enough bugs that need to be fixed first?

The person that made the icon probably isn’t going to be fixing bugs

Everything is starting to look boring and hospital-like. Black on white Music, Blue on white package. Lame.

Apple always puts their products with rounded corner radii inside boxes with sharp corners.

I'll never understand why technology companies can't just leave well enough alone. They changed the Music icon as well from red to white. Guess their software folks just sit in a room and change it just so they can justify their job.

I think they chose white because of all the white Apple device boxes, but I agree, I don’t like it being white

I was so happy when Dye left Apple as I thought jt would mean the insane plunge in UI & UX would stop, but I was wrong.
Sadly the plunge is continuing. Apple music icon white a white squickcle with a black glyph, this shit, the oversized elements in all of MacOS…
I downgraded to Sequoia, and while the pre-Tahoe UI’s are still a bunch better, this is at least good enough.

Before doing anything, you should ask “why”. I don’t think anybody asked “why” when this change was suggested.

Looks like a box of deodorant.
