@radiocity From the README:

NOTE that this package is mac only for now; you couldn't pay me enough to use Windows… but pull requests are welcome.

PRs welcome from Windows users 😉

It's a pity.

Seems like a lot of manual steps and a system restart! There must be a better way? Even on Windows! 😷

May be a registry magic. Dont know, newbee with Atom.

Well if you figure out a way that can be automated and incorporated into this package, then let me know or maybe do a PR. I don't have (or want) a copy of Windows to go hacking around myself… and with a different icon format (.ico) too!
