How to change the blue leaf?

[Cell]

I recognize the fact that there are many threads, even recent ones, discussing the blue leaf. Nonetheless I found it necessairy to create a new thread since information about changing it is outdated or I simply couldn’t find the right thread.

My question is if there’s a way to change the blue leaf to for example to the Haiku logo without having to recompile the entire system?

Ideas to maybe replace the blue leaf

So… this is something that I’m pretty sure I’ve seen given a mention once or twice before, but far as I know, I don’t think it’s been given its own dedicated idea thread so I thought I’d try to be bold and start one with the hopes it could someday happen.

I compiled it and put the deskbar in the root of a hpkg but it consistently gives an error message installing it. How am I supposed to replace the binary if a hpkg isn’t able to?
