macOS Big Sur Wi-Fi icons location

[Binuk]

Hello fellas
I installed Big Sur a while ago and all is working well. I use wifi from a USB wifi card which is TP-Link WN823n v2. It has native support to macOS with TP-Link's driver. I have it all installed and working well, but the icons in the menu bar are like from the Windows XP so I would like know the path for where macOS Big Sur's real wifi icons are located. If I find the icons, I can replace them with the original icons in the driver and make it look like native apple wifi. Any help is appreciated.

TP-Link's wireless ulitity icons are located under /Library/Application Support/WLAN/StatusBarApp.app/Contents/Resources. I did modify the icons a few years ago when I had a similar USB wifi adapter.

Also have a look at this:

Thanks a lot. I'll try it. I know that the TPlink icons are there, but I mean the original ones from macOS Big Sur. The ones apple originally ship with macOS.

Those should be located under /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreWLANKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Assets.car. Open the file using the Asset Catalog Tinkerer program.

Hi, I also want to change the wi-fi icon in macOS Big Sur, but so far I can't. Have you been able to change the icon ? If you did, can you tell me how to do it ?

Thank you! This is the best I've found so far. But do you have a complete collection of all big sur wi-fi icons? I mean the icons with scales showing the signal level ? I found all the icons in the system, but I cannot adapt them to the menu bar. They are in the path:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreWLANKit.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Assets.car

or

/System/Library/CoreServices/ControlCenter.app/Contents/Resources/Assets.car
