Sad is seems the big 1.19 update still hasn't fixed the lack of dark menu bar support.

This hack still works to correct it though, thanks!

👍

not working anymore.. seems like google added hash checking. what an idiot google

@Arbitel I just tried it on the recently updated version (Version 1.20.8672.3137, I noticed my icon was back to black) and it worked perfectly. did you close the Google Drive app first before running the script?

Confirmed that this worked on version 1.20.8672.3137 Mac OS 10.10.1. Thanks!

Worked for me. Thanks!

I ran your script but it's still transparent...

@tonyawad88 you have to restart Google Drive for it to pick up the change

The structure is the same to change the Google Play Music icons?
I have the same problem with that app (why am I not surprised...)

Thanks.

Works great, thanks! v1.20
