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

1. Select the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to stamp onto another, just click the icon to select it.
2. From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I to open the Info window.
3. Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Info window to select it.
4. From the Edit menu, choose Copy or press Command-C.
5. Select the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to replace.
6. From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I.
7. Click the icon in the upper-left corner.
8. 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.
