Custom Leopard Folder Icons
I made some custom Leopard folder icons for myself a few months ago, & had no intention of releasing them. But a few people have been asking me where I got them/can they have them etc.
Update:
The Finder folder is now being used in Default Folder X 4.
The Tag folder will be used as the default tagged files folder in the next version of Punakea, & Tag Folders.

Thanks for creating these – been looking for some custom icons to fit the new look for a while and these can be put to good use!

How did you manage to get such perfect icons? I know there is a template out there for PS, but I’d like to know the way YOU did it:)!
Thx

If you mean the shapes I made those in Illustrator.
You can make them just as well in Photoshop (but I’m more comfortable using Illustrator).

Nice icons
I’ve just released a free app to help people create similar folder icons automatically. It’s at http://www.iconicosx.com if you’re interested.

Hi,
As I think I said before on your previous blog, these are lovely icons and I really appreciate having them.
A request. I’d particularly like a folder with the Adobe logo embossed on it, for housing my various Creative Suite applications. Also, I think it’d be handy to have folders that could represent network-related items, business/finance stuff and perhaps iPods/PDAs. Any chance you might have a go at these?
Anyway, thanks again. These are the best quality, most authentic-looking Leopard folder icons I’ve found.

Thanks. I might make some more in the future if I get some free time.

They really do look good. But I forgot, how do you apply them to a folder? Wasn’t that only through a third party app? Obviously you can’t just copy and paste it! Thanks

Yea, you can use CandyBar to change them.
