Description

When Quassel Client is added to the dock it has a nice icon that matches the existing Monterey system icon style. After launching quassel the icon changes to look more like the windows version, which doesn't look as nice on macOS

I added screenshots of the behaviour. I think the "not launched" icon should be used in both cases.

When an app is running, the system uses the CFBundleIconFile defined in the app’s Info.plist inside the .app bundle. If Quassel doesn’t declare (or mismatches) the macOS .icns asset there, the OS falls back to the app’s internal resource icon.The macOS build of Quassel likely ships with both the nice .icns file (which Finder shows before launch) and the generic PNG/ICO baked into the binary.
