Follow-up Comment #1:

The official Octave icon does not conform to the Apple human interface design
guidelines for icons, specifically:

> Keep the background simple and avoid transparency. Make sure your icon is
opaque,
> and don’t clutter the background. Give it a simple background so it
doesn’t overpower other
> app icons nearby. You don’t need to fill the entire icon with content.

For best results, you should probably report this to and work with the macOS
app packagers here: https://github.com/octave-app/octave-app/issues

I'm changing the summary to make it clear that this is about a conflict
between the intentional design of the Octave icon and the Apple icon design
guidelines. This may or may not ever be resolved within Octave itself.
