Summary
Replace the generic microphone in the macOS menu bar with a compact, recognizable Speaky mascot icon.
The new icon carries the character's defining pen nib, face, body, arms, and feet while remaining legible at native menu-bar size.
Why
The existing
mic.fillsymbol communicates audio, but it does not identify which application owns the menu-bar item. It is especially easy to confuse with macOS microphone indicators and other recording utilities.A stable branded icon makes Speaky immediately recognizable and better matches the existing app icon and in-app character.
Design
Speakyaccessibility label.Recording and transcription state remain visible through the menu content, main window, and notch overlay.
Changes
SpeakyMenuBarIcon.imagesetcontaining the template SVG and asset metadata.MenuBarExtra.AppState.The implementation is limited to two small code edits and one self-contained asset set. It adds no runtime image processing, dependencies, or platform-specific state management.
Validation
arm64andx86_64.The integration build used the locked dependency versions proposed in #4.
