Obsidian icon on MacOS does not use the apple dark mode background gradient

Use case or problem

Obsidian icon in dark mode on MacOS does not adhere to apple standards and looks out of place compared to other icons. This has been fixed on iOS but not on MacOS.

Proposed solution

Ideally should work the same as it does on iOS.

It doesn’t? I guess I’m not seeing it. Looks fine to me.

Now Steam, on the other hand…

It’s subtle but you can see it the best in the right corner which is much darker on obsidian than other apps.
