Or if you don't have a LOT of icons, there is option to decrase padding between them: https://flaky.build/built-in-workaround-for-applications-hid...

I’ve been using this for the last six hours or so, and it’s decent. You use Cmd+drag to move icons between shown and unshown, which at the time of writing isn’t clear from the Readme or site
yeah, no reason these days to use proprietary solutions for small problems. I'll check out Ice, it seems much more modern (and maintained) than Dozer: https://github.com/Mortennn/Dozer

I just wish somebody would create an open source alternative to Rouge Amoeba's Loopback!

Rogue Amoeba has been around for over two decades. They are an early macOS X shop and their softwares are best of breed. Their esteemed Audio Hijack recently received an overhaul to its permissions structure. My understanding (gleaned from a podcast?) is Rogue Amoeba worked closely with Apple on this reworking.

It is doubtful Rogue Amoeba would ever silently sell to an unknown developer.

Rogue Amoeba is precisely the kind of software shop worth supporting with your money and time. I say this only as a satisfied user of several of their products.

I have nothing against OSS and do use many OSS products; I also support software shops that produce good software at a good price and have demonstrated loyalty and commitment to their users. Rogue Amoeba is just such a shop.

Have you tried Blackhole? It’s a loopback device for macOS.

The reason is the same as always - the open source alternatives are not as powerful, like Ice has big issues
