*If you trash some icons, let's say from my-icon list (while still keeping it in the trash). The next rebuild will bring the icons back!!
Over the years, I have contact the developer a few times and they did respond. But i got the feeling that they are not taking CandBar seriously. Its all about Coda now.

When it messes with your 3000 icons Library it's not even worth the half star!!! Also, the company knows about this bug since 2009...yet they choose to put all their effort into Coda.app!

I have only one complaint: their Smart Collections don't have an option to find icons by an icon's pixel size, only its file size. Which means you can't make smart folders that include certain sizes of icons (i.e., if you want a collection that only has icons with a 512x512 size). Actually, come to think of it, Smart Collections don't seem to work reliably in any case. But I don't really use them much anyway (mostly because of the lack of pixel-size options, I must add).
I've had no problems on Lion. In fact, the icon replacement seems to be working better for me on Lion than it did on SL. You can't, however, use CandyBar to change the icons of apps downloaded from the Mac App Store—they're grayed out with a lock over them, and not even changing the app's permissions seems to fix that. probably not CandyBar's fault, I'm sure, but Apple's.

Also another question, does it replace the icons and dock in the system folder or do I have to run it every single time?
Cheers

3.3.1 is worse - most of the time new icon just disappears or at best changed to a very blurry version. It was happening with 3.3 too, but not as often and everybody was blaming the Snow Leo for it. Who or what to blame now?

It's time for CandyBar developers to clean the mess.

Does anybody know how to retrieve this?... The weird part is, that its still on my computer, I just cannot see it. I know this because when I go to my dock, I have folders on there that are automatically nestled into the 'documents' folder, and all of their contents are still there, but when I go to look in my 'documents' folder, nothing is there.
Please HELP!!!!

Can't find it mentioned on the Panic site or in the FAQ's or an option to disable CandyBar from within the application ?
Surely it should be well documented. There is no read me included in the zip. Please someone post how to restore the default so I can remove this application.
Simply click the large "Restore Icons" button in the upper-right hand corner of the system view. That's all there is to it! Your icons will restore to normal, and you can safely remove CandyBar at any time.
Feel free to drop us an e-mail if you have further questions about how CandyBar works -- it's the quickest way by far to get help.
