If you are using a Mac there is a good chance you are using PaperCut in dark mode on your Mac and why wouldn’t you it is a bit easier on the eyes and everything looks better in black right?

Before – PaperCut client running in dark mode – no client icon visible
PaperCut 16.3 has come out and there was no new icon for PaperCut in dark mode on your Mac. Our techs decided to take a bit of a poke around and have found a workaround that would make the PC Client unsupported, As in if you have any issues make sure you test with a backed up version of the Client before opening any tickets.
Open PCClient.app\Contents\Java
Open papercut-client-[version].jar in your favourite archiving tool
Browse to biz\papercut\pcng\client\uit\images\ inside the .jar file
Look for “client-mac-tray-icon-1024×1024.png”

After – Users can now easily find and select the PaperCut client icon.
Don’t forget, this is unsupported…
