Custom Icons

[Wingy]

I just spent most of my day messing with custom icons from various sites, mainly http://www.fasticon.com/ and www.apple.com and various sites that I ended up at by googling,

Free Icons for Mac OS X.

I used CandyBar for chancing my icons, and Folder Icon X for editing them. (I edited alot)  8-) Here's a picture of what my desktop looks like now.

I edited Photoshop, AppleWorks, and Color it is the app down there that has a normal toon app icon. (I didn't like the OS 9 one much, so I did abit of art) BTW: The app. icon I made by putting together an application sybol and file icon.

Took me awhile to figure it out how to do this, so don't think it's easy to do. Read the tutorials and read-mes that come with the two apps. I used. Also took me awhile to find the apps! Sadly, Folder Icon X is for sale for $10 so an annoying

sign will come up with the icon that you made or making. Candy machine is free, for awhile, that is. After it asks you your password 25 times, you can't do anything with it anymore. I have I think 1 more use left!  :

The toon icons kinda fit my personally... so that's why I put them on! At the http://www.fasticon.com/ click

downloads for the free icons. The rest are $99-$300 I think.  

If you want to do this, and managed to get a code or two for the apps, I can help you out! This is really cool!  

BTW: Do you know how I did the games to have their icon of the game on the folder icon? I put the folder icon in Folder Icon X on the back layer. (One that surrounds the whole box) and I put the cool icon from the game on the 2nd layer, (you can only have 2, I think) and then selected in the menu,

Apply on folder..." and you will then target what folder, which I used the game's folder. Pretty cool eh? You can delete the 2nd layer if you didn't merge the icon and put another one on, and target anther folder.
Enjoy!

P.S. Show me your finder once you did it to yours if you did!
