Web App Wed – LiteIcon
This is Web App Wed, the one post a week to keep me from talking about computer stuff too much. This week is a nice little app called LiteIcon.
This App allows you to change out Icons for all of your Mac Operating Systems standard Icons. There are a few ways to go about changing Icons, but this just makes it easy to hit a bunch at once. it also has a nice ‘relaunch finder’ button to refresh the icons..
Swapping Icons…mac says
- Select the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to stamp onto another, just click the icon to select it.
- From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I to open the Info window.
- Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Info window to select it.
- From the Edit menu, choose Copy or press Command-C.
- Select the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to replace.
- From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I.
- Click the icon in the upper-left corner.
- From the Edit menu, choose Paste or press Command-V to replace the icon.
Basically just copy and past them in…Relaunch the finder and blamo…
Here are a few links to find some cool Icons.
Pixelgirlpresents This one is kind of hit an miss. some of the .sit files are no good.
apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/ has a lot of stuff to look at, but it also has other apps and screen savers mixed in. Worth checking out.
Here’s a little added bonus → img2icns
Drop just about any image file into this program and it will convert it into a usable file for an app icon or folder icon… I would suggest that you use images with transparent backgrounds.
