With the newest release of the CoverSutra application (version 2.1.2), you might be wondering where the old menubar icon went. It has been replaced with a rather bland music note; for those like me who want the old ‘heart’ icon back, there is a simple terminal hack that you can apply to revert the change.

First, quit CoverSutra. Launch Terminal and type or copy and paste the following…

defaults write com.sophiestication.CoverSutra gender 'female'

Once you relaunch, you’ll see the old icon and all will be right in the world again.

For those who haven’t yet seen or used the application, you should definitely try it out. It’s basically an iTunes remote/Last.fm companion that also displays album art on your desktop. Snazzy and incredibly useful when you delve into the keyboard shortcuts. It’s at Sophiestication Software.
