Where is this icns file located?

[hungx]

Does anyone know where this icon file is located in macOS? It's the generic icon for preference panes. Thanks in advance!

Maybe someone knows where the system files for .prefpane are located? I'm not referring to the folder containing the system preference panes in System Preferences.app.

It's located inside the pref pane package file itself.

It's located inside the pref pane package file itself.

The pref pane package only contains the icon file for the relevant preference pane. I.e., the iCloud preference pane package contains the iCloud icon file. I'm referring to the generic preference pane icon for when an icon file is not included in the package.

Try here:
/Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/Resources/

There should be multiple .icns files there. Look thru them with Quick Look.

Or look in the Info.plist file in the Contents dir, and look under CFBundleDocumentTypes for a CFBundleTypeExtensions list with "prefPane" in it. The CFBundleTypeIconFile key will then give the file name of the icon associated with that type.

Thanks, but the elusive icon file isn't there. I used the app Find Any File to locate all icns files, but still couldn't find it. I think it might be in one of the .car files.

If you've tried any or all of those without success, then please describe everything you've tried.

I have been using ThemeEngine to edit .car files, but I need to locate the correct file first and the search function doesn't work within the files. I think it may be inside a .car file since I can't seem to locate it in all the .icns files on my Mac, though I'm not 100% sure. I haven't yet looked through .tiff or .png files due to the sheer volume of files.
