SteveL Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 After a clean install of Lion, my Accordance icon in Mission Control is missing. Instead of the Accordance icon, a default icon approximating two sheets of paper and a pencil is presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb B Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Does the icon stay the default icon after you run it a few times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Lawrence Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I can also confirm when I select Launchpad and get the iOS style application launcher, the Accordance icon has remained the same generic looking icon as what Steve has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent Lawrence Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I tried reinstalling Accordance, but this did not change the icon from a generic looking one to the Accordance icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveL Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 I successfully repaired the Launch Pad Accordance icon by following this guide. Beware, though, it will undo any customization that you've added, such as arranging icons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Weaks Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I have a new MBP with Lion and doing fresh installs. Interested to see if when I install Accordance it shows up on the MC screen. Other apps I've installed so far have all shown up. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I, too, have no custom icon for my Accordance app in Mission Control on the new MBP I installed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I, too, have no custom icon for my Accordance app in Mission Control on the new MBP I installed on. Joe, if you killall Dock, does it restore the image? It seems that MIssion Control/Desktops have some issues with icns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Weaks Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I'll try when I get back home. However, I have installed a dozen 3rd party apps w/o this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Weaks Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 If the only issue you have is the Accordance icon, instead of using a 3rd party management app, I'd suggest just removing the Accordance icon and readding it bring it back this time with icon intact. 1. Open Terminal app and paste this command to run: sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Accordance';" && killall Dock 2. Drag the Accordance app from the Finder onto the Launchpad icon on the dock The sqlite3 command removes the Accordance record from the SQL database where Launchpad stores its info. It then restarts the Dock app for the changes to take effect. This really is an Accordance bug. The fact that the icon is not there on install suggests something out-of-whack about their icn, its format or location or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Keene Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I just installed Accordance 9.4.1 again after various recent install issues discussed elsewhere. It finally installed, using the link from the Accordance site, per a link Helen gave in one of the discussions. However, I now have the generic icon too, on Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. In another discussion about this Helen offered the link to this one, saying this discussion offers a fix. I see several "fixes" here that either aren't to my OS, if I understand them correctly, or require a 3rd-party hack. I don't want that either. This appears to be an Accordance bug, and I think I'll wait for a real fix unless someone has a better idea ; ) Thanks for keeping the issue up to date.

Yes, this discussion is about the Accordance icon not showing up in Mission Control for Lion. We are currently looking in to fixing this problem. However, the Accordance icon is showing up properly in the Finder in Lion so the solutions offered in this discussion do not apply. Typically, if you double click on Accordance then the icon should be updated. Are you able to run Accordance? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, even when it was the generic, I was able to boot and use Accordance. Thanks for the reply, it seems the updating icon issue was helped for me by some of your Lion suggestions.

Tim Hall Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 I changed my Accordance icon to the one available on the Accordance Exchange ... and it works in Launchpad. I have OS X 10.7.1 & Accordance 8.4.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
