Custom iTunes icon for Mac
So, made this some weeks ago.
Just bored with the standard itunes icon, and decided to make new one for myself :D
As you can see, images are collected from internet, and all I do is just mashed them up together. I do not take credit for the artwork (the headphone girl and music note artwork).
Just go to my deviantArt page, and just click download button at the left.
To change:
1. Just right-click on the Icon (cmd + shift for one-button mouse) and choose Get Info.
2. After the window opens, just click on the icon preview (should be at the top of the Get Info window, and press cmd+C.
3. Then go to Application, and right-click (cmd+click) at iTunes icon and select Get Info.
4. Now highlight the default iTunes icon by clicking the Icon preview at the top of Get Info window.
5. When the default itunes icon is highlighted, just hit cmd+V, and Viola, it's done!
Note : If the iTunes' icon in the dock didn't change, just simply remove iTunes from dock, and drag the newly-changed iTunes to the dock.
Lemme know what you guys think :D
I am not really that much in to customizing the looks of my OS but I have this tip in mind.
How did you make this one? Did you use "Icon Composer" from Xcode or something simpler? Icon Composer is the right way to do something like this as it makes everything needed, like the icon at different sizes together with 1-bit masks to tell the size of the icon, telling where it's transparent and where it isn't.
I worked on an icon once and I thought it was a copy paste job, but I ran into problems until I did it the right way and then everything worked right away ^^
I just made them using Photoshop actually. I just saved it in .png format, then export it to .icon thru Pixadex. It's quite simple.
Yes, it actually really easy to replace the icon, but it also took me quite a bit of time to do it right ^^;
Love the icons~ ^-^
