Question

Two Figma icons in the macOS 27 menu bar

I’m seeing two Figma icons side by side in the macOS menu bar:

• The icon with a black background opens a Starred / Recent menu.
• The white outline icon opens the All notifications panel.

My versions are macOS 27.0 (26A428) and Figma 126.8.18. A process check showed only one main Figma app process running.

I’m not sure when this started or whether it is related to an update. Is this expected behavior or a known issue? Is there a way to keep just one menu bar icon while retaining access to both sets of features?

The three screenshots below show both icons, the black-background icon’s Starred / Recent menu, and the white outline icon’s All notifications panel. Private content has been blurred.

    Hey ​@CS2 👋 Is this still occurring for you? If so, can you try reattaching your screenshots again, please? They didn’t come through the first time. Thank you! — Jaycee

      Thank you for your letter, I am sorry to say that I feel it may be a version issue with macOS 27. When you wrote back to me, I found the problem had disappeared. During that time, I restarted my computer, and I believe it was likely a problem after the macOS27 update, as well as possibly needing a restart. At least now, I no longer see the black Figma logo.
