Description
First of all, I would like to thank you for this amazing app! It is my favorite Mastodon client, and one of the many reasons is that it looks absolutely gorgeous. However, I feel that the default app icon doesn't quite match the app's aesthetics. There are some really great alternative app icons available in the app, but unfortunately, the default icon cannot be changed on macOS (except for manually overwriting it in the properties, which gets overwritten after every update).
Therefore, I was wondering if you might consider changing the default icon to something more visually pleasing and minimalistic, such as these two options:
I understand that this is very subjective, but I really feel that a new default icon could better reflect/represent this app. Thanks for considering my suggestion!

Research direction
Start with the app icon asset sets under IceCubesApp/Assets.xcassets, especially AppIconAlternate25.appiconset and AppIconAlternate33.appiconset, and inspect how the macOS default icon is selected. Done means the chosen minimal icon is the macOS default while the existing alternate icons remain available.
