DESCRIPTION

  • This automatic selection with mouse can be prevented with the CapsLock-key.
  • Tooltips behave better.
  • The Czech localization is integrated.

NICKSLOAN  For those who much prefer classic labels to the garish X versions, and have been waiting interminably for Unsanity to update Labels X, iconXprit could be the answer. It can colorize icons from a custom list or any free colour via a contextual menu.

In fact, though it takes a bit more setting up, iconXprit exceeds the capabilities of Labels X in several important respects: colours can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts, there is no seven colour limit, and you can still use Finder labels alongside icon colours (for those occasions when an in-your-face banner is what you really want).

And colorizing icons is only a part of what iconXprit can do: it can also apply text, copy and paste custom icons, apply from an archive, and more.

Early versions were a bit buggy, but the current version seems stable enough for me (G5, Leopard)—and it does not use APE.

TOM.25  I'm a long time user of iconCompo, and I did localize it in French when the original translator stopped to localize future version. I localized iconXprit in French as soon as Trollin sent me a beta version for test. It works very well and do what I want it to do.

Thank you Trollin, and merry Christmas to all of you :-) .

Does Folders-Full Set allow to edit icon?

TROLLIN  Thank you very much, TOM.25!

It is really encouraging for me to have earnest users and supporters like you.

'Folders-Full Set' is a set of icons (not an app/plugin), some of which can be used to combine by means of iconXprit as well :-) . As far as I see, they may unfortunately look not so nice in full-size under OSX 10.5 (with Cover Flow or Quick Look) due to lack of 256x256 or 512x512 representation.

Wishing you all the best, Trollin

SEAN6  Great little app. With Folder Icon X doing nothing to come up with a Universal Binary version I've switched to iconXprit with no regrets.

Only issue is the help text masks the interface too much. Make it so you can switch tips off and the app will be just about perfect.

TROLLIN  Hello SEAN6,

Glad to know that you are pleased with iconXprit.

Sorry that I have not read your comment long before.

As to tooltips, though you may have noticed by now, there is an option to switch them off (at least in the icon preview area). Click the small menu icon at the top-left corner of the preview image and deselect the menu item "Show tooltips". Hope this reduces some annoyance.
