How do you have a dark LiveContainer icon in the first place? It doesn’t work for me

Yes, but I just noticed you are using a fork of LiveContainer and not the one from this repo and that’s how you have the icon

No, I don’t? And you can do it by editing your home screen, then tap on edit in the top left corner. After that on the middle button and there you can select dark mode

Idk why GitHub says that, but it has the same commit Id. GitHub may say the commit is from another repo, but I downloaded the ipa 100% from this repo

No I didn't. I added this link to my favorites in Safari to quick access the nightly builds:

As you can see it's the right one

you did exactly what I said.
When you open a pull request, it runs the action to see if it compiles. The latest action is my PR.
This PR is not merged yet.
If you want nightly releases better add this as a bookmark: https://github.com/LiveContainer/LiveContainer/releases/tag/nightly

But thanks for reporting, will update the PR

Oh, sorry I thought you were the one who always said I downloaded it from a fork. But I thought GitHub only shows the in actions if it is merged

The white stuff in the corners is less noticable, but when leaving the app it is clearly visible. And the LiveContainer2 icon is still the same as the main one

where exactly do you see the issue when leaving the app? can you make a recording?
the livecontainer2 probably still uses the old build

For me I don’t have this problem on the original LiveContainer so it probably is a problem with the fork (iOS 26 beta 2)

I see the issue now. I had reduce motion enabled so the closing effect was missing.
Latest commit should fix it

Nice. Now only the LiveContainer2 icon needs to be fixed. Can you make it look like the original? And add a dark mode icon for it?

Works with LC2 too. You may need to install LC2 with sidestore again so it applies the icon

Since there are discussions here already, I'll directly write here.

@m1337v Thank you for enhancing our icon. It looks great! Here are few suggestions:

  1. As said above, please also provide a gray version icon for LiveContainer2
  2. Please revert all changes in UIApplicationSceneManifest key of Info.plist as they may break old apps that do not support scenes.
  3. It seems you did not set your email correct when committing so GitHub cannot associate these commits with you

@hugeBlack done.

Just for the grey icon i can't figure out how to apply darkmode there as well, so it falls back to the hardcoded icons in /Resources

My approaches:

  • Using AppIconGrey.appiconset -> Falls back to the default blue/black AppIconSet
  • Reading the AppIconGrey files from the main bundle or assets.car and replacing them in the LCUtils.m/archiveIPAWithBundleName function -> Falls back to the default blue/black AppIconSet as well.

If you have an idea let me know, otherwise it will stay gray like before for now
