@Arbitel I just tried it on the recently updated version (Version 1.20.8672.3137, I noticed my icon was back to black) and it worked perfectly. did you close the Google Drive app first before running the script?

@tonyawad88 you have to restart Google Drive for it to pick up the change

The structure is the same to change the Google Play Music icons?
I have the same problem with that app (why am I not surprised...)

Thanks.
