macOS Touch Bar Icons Location


New MacBook Pro's with Touch Bar, in macOS Sierra, icons for the system control strip, where would they be located?

I looked under HD/System/Library/CoreServices, not there.....


Solution

  • The Touch Bar system icons are all located in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemAppearance.bundle/Contents/Resources/Assets.car.

    To name a few examples, they are named like TouchBarControlStripSpotlight or TouchBarControlStripSiriContent.

    If you want to inspect and also change them you can use the ThemeEngine app to open the .CAR files. You can find the app/project here: https://github.com/alexzielenski/ThemeEngine

    Sadly the ThemeEngine.app fails to display all icons. Some appear to be empty, but I guess thats a problem with the app. Maybe there's another, more reliable way to open .CAR files.
