The old code didn't work on El Capitan -- there were some visual artifacts
left behind afterwards.

Since I didn't have access to a machine running El Capitan, I replaced the
code with something that work on all OS versions.

It might be possible to increase the size -- however, the symbol is a
built-in image so there is a risk that an enlarged version will be
pixelated.

I'm open to other solutions to this. Unfortunately, I don't have the time
to work on it myself anymore.
