PADRAIC  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.

STUARTEA  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).

JURIMA  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.

JURIMA  No, it's NOT fantastic,

the new version is only for Leopard BUT I think the most Mac-Users today still use another X-Version, mostly Tiger, I think.

Why let them all stand in the rain?

Is it that hard to compile the new features for use under Tiger?

Leo is just 6 month old, do we all have to upgrade immediately to use new versions of software?

Why is it needed to feed the hardware and software/OS-Orks every couple of months?

Is Tiger/Panther etc. so bad since/because Leo came out? Of course Apple and Adobe (and the Iconfactory guys) always generate their new income that way, their hunger for money rules, but why that for freeware?

In short:

Thanks for freeware but a TIGER-Version would be very nice, thank you.

Thanks,

MCOYLE  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.

BROCK SAMSON  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*

JETFIREDX  Working pretty well for a beta. Replaced all my icons with the ones I used for Tiger. The only minor issue was it took a reboot to get the new folders to refresh. Everything else came up after a logout. So don't freak if you just have default file icons for your folders...just reboot and it'll probably come up correctly.

Now if only a new version of UNO could get dropped I could have things looking really nice again.

Thanks again for putting this together!

GODY  So I have not completely tested every aspect of this app but based on the sections I did test I am impressed with it. I would have given it 5 stars if only it would work with Pixadex to drag and drop icons. I had to export the icons first and then had to drag them into the appropriate wells. Overall can't get any better for a free app so I shouldn't complain much but that would be one nice functionality to add.

JETFIREDX  Sweet app! Worked great for me. I was able to quickly change all the icons I wanted by dropping them over their defaults. Defintely worth checking out.
