Problems with VS Code application icon

Question

I have downloaded VS Code on my new Mac mini, but the icon seems to be some random dots. My Mac mini has the M1 Chip.

Here is a picture of the icon in Spotlight:

A few steps I have tried:

• Restarting the Mac
• Reinstalling VS Code
• Trying with a different user
• Contacted Apple Support, response was, "it is not our product (vs code) so we can no fix it"

Is there anyway to fix this?

Answer 1

There are two possibilities:

1. The OS is displaying the image file incorrectly.
2. The image file itself is corrupt.

If you can find an application that uses different routines to display the image file, then you may be able to rule out the first option, if you can get the image to display correctly in a third-party app.

Otherwise, it's an issue for the developer.
