When I use this client to change my Finder Icon, the Icon is Low Rez. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Which kind of icon are you using as replacement?

Hiya:

I'm using this (and a few others). The Low Rez look seems to only affect the Finder Icon.

Pros : Excellent design and usability. Accomplishes the essential functions of CandyBar for free.

Cons : cannot change icons for some applications, so you have to do those manually. A panel displays icons for folders that do not exist in Snow Leopard.

Summary : only a few minor cons that can easily be ignored. definitely try this app out, it's free anyway.

I also cannot download this app. I've tried from the developers site www.freemacsoft.net/LiteIcon and this site, and both stop the download at random spots.

This is a great little app. My only query is, I can't find any option to change the System Preferences icon, maybe I've just missed it or am being dumb (no surprise).

In reply to dettos comment:
"I can understand your statement. But don't you think its a bit of kinda unfair if the developer after 6 months (!) switches to the current platform developing his freeware(!) to shout out for a tiger version?

Thanks to the developer from my side and keep it up! Its a damn fine tool."

----

First, many thanks for your replay, detto.

You say 6 month with an added exclamation mark, I say just (only) 6 month...
I'm absolutely sure that Tiger will be in widely use for many many years, think of all the hardware that our good old grandmother Apple decided to not support with Leopard anymore.
- Buy new, throw away everything under 867 Mhz - we tried our best to support such old hardware with the absolutely groundbreaking Leopard, but sorry, no luck. Environmental pollution enforced by software (companies).
Why follow them? Hundred thousands of Mac-Users won't do, I'm sure, the golddigger-times in PC-industry will be gone shortly.

Well well, back to LiteIcon ;-)
It' just about icons here and I don't understand why bigger, now 512 pixel icons, are seen as that trailblazing ubergood innovation.
Why not let the Tiger-Users get that part of all the new icon-creations around there, that they need - let them extract/use the 128 pix and lower versions versions for their needs.

That would be very friendly.

I'm absolutely not against real innovations, but simply four times bigger icons in Leopard? Come one, where's the beef?
Why should that block my use of new icon-creations, they are available all around the web, but now - how inventive - often in iconcontainer version 3 format (Leopard only...)?
They all have the needed 128 pix resources integrated, it's just about beeing pseudo-up-to-date, for me it seems just a bit ignorant.
Up to date to what? - Apples businessplans and marketing strategies?

I think exactly here it comes to no-profit orientated freeware developers, circumvent marketing decissions of the big players that are always leeded by their insatiable money hunger.

Many words for an icon-tool...

Anyway, of course thanks for this beeing freeware.
Please Tiger it.

Ummm... yeah. Is that a problem? :)


UGH! I'm such a dork.

Sorry. While I did have 1.3 on my drive I was inadvertently still launching the old one.

Thanks,

Bummer. I've been waiting for this update and I can' tget it to launch. It puts up a dialog saying "Index: 78: InternetLocationMAILTO.icns"

I cleaned all the caches as the prevous reader suggested, but no luck.

I wasn't able to see changes to any of the dock icons until I deleted the iconcache. You can find it like so:

sudo find /private/var -name *iconcache*

This command is runned if you click on "Relaunch Finder" in the toolbar, and the icon cache is removed.
