Description
The MacOS installer was a good PR.
But there two things we need to do:
- Write instructions on how to edit /etc/paths, have that info (action item) in Run "missing RF" pop-up.
The action item should open editor with root auth and try to get the PATH env and conciliate with /etc/paths content - Make app icon not transparent, and have an action item somewhere to propose exchanging icon to dark or light mode.

Research direction
Start by locating the macOS installer and the “missing RF” pop-up entry point, then review how the app icon is defined. The work is complete when the pop-up explains and supports the /etc/paths action, and the icon can be presented in suitable light or dark variants.
