Restoring original Bluetooth device icons on macOS

Hello from Portugal

I'm having trouble to restore de Bluetooth devices to their original icons on BT menu bar.

It's just a cosmetic issue because all BT devices are working properly.

I did mess with some BT.Plist files...my bad.

Any way to restore to the more "beautiful" graphic ones instead of the generic blue icons?

All specs in the pictures

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks.

Nuno

FWIW, what you see is normal for an iMac Pro. My devices show the keyboard and mouse as black/space gray because that's what It came with. The white Magic Mouse only came in white. There's nothing to change.

I have a fresh reinstall of Sequoia and initially it was with the icons with better design...instead of generic blue.

I had problems with a BT device and i deleted the BT.Plist file to "renew" a with a fresh one after reboot.

It's just cosmetic and I don't want to go a long way into a rabbit hole to fix a cosmetic issue.

Ill figure it out or leave it as is.

Thank You for your time.

Where the blue icons are it was with the more detailed picture of MM2 and MK2 (the same as in BT settings)...now they are just generic blue icons.

The blue icons are on the top right corner

As I mentioned. Apple made the change and it's now normal.. There is nothing to change.

My iMac Pro running Sequoia…
