On macOS most menubar / tray icon colors are monochrome in white or black depending on the desktop background and menubar appearance. The DevPod desktop application always uses a colored purple icon which does not fit into the uniform design language of the OS. See the following screenshots.

Which solution do you suggest?
It would be great to have a monochrome menu bar icon on macOS which adapts to the appearance like the other app icons.
This can easily be achieved on macOS using Tauri using the "iconAsTemplate" option. Then the OS handles the recoloring by itself.

See Tauri reference for the configuration option (for v1 and v2):

https://v2.tauri.app/reference/config/#trayiconconfig

Thanks for the great DevPods app! 😃
