The fix for https://bugs.python.org/issue32129 (now closed) was to stop 
replacing the IDLE app icon with the low-resolution title-bar icon. 
This Mac-only replacement was never intended.

The launcher is independent from IDLE.  This request should be a new 
idea on python-idea or issue on bugs.python.org.

Would larger icons be useful on hi-rex Linux (or even Windows) systems?"
