Automate changing icons for apps

Jono — Sun, 10 May 2009 21:51:07 +0000

If you change an app’s icons (application icon and/or toolbar icons) and that app is updated quite often it can become a pain to keep changing them each time. Here’s an Automator workflow to automate the process.

Drag the custom icons you want to use to the window in the ‘Get Specified Finder Items’ action.

To add the Resources folder (where you will copy the custom icons to) to the ‘Copy Finder Items’ action, right click on the app you want to modify the icons of & select ‘Show Package Contents’. Open the Contents folder to find the Resources folder & then drag this from the Finder window to the location drop down list in the ‘Copy Finder Items’ action

Save the workflow as an application, then any time the app is updated run the Automator app to change the icons.

To automate it even further you can set up rules in Hazel to automatically change the icons once the app has been updated without having to manually run the workflow yourself.

SilverFlow UI for Quicksilver: 3 Pane Mode

Jono — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 09:52:07 +0000

When I made the Cover Flow UI mock-up for Quicksilver there wasn’t any thought in how it would actually work. It was just throwing the idea out there to see how it could look.

Cover Flow mode is up & running for Julius Eckert’s SilverFlow interface, & it’s taking a bit more thought on how to actually implement it.

For the 3 pane mode (Move To…, Copy To… etc.) here’s a mock-up of how I see it working.

Movie file selected, Open is the default action.

Tabbed to the 2nd pane, selecting ‘Move To…’ as the action.

Movies folder selected as the location to move the file to.

Here’s how it would look if you typed some text (in text mode) & the default option was Paste

And here it’s tabbed to the 2nd pane & selected Copy to Clipboard instead of Paste.

Leopard Folder Icons Updated

Jono — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 10:59:39 +0000

I’ve updated the Leopard folder icons.

As I made the icons months ago (using the folders from a Leopard beta) I found that the folder icons from the released version of Leopard had been tweaked slightly.

This is especially noticeable in the 16×16 versions. I’ve also increased the contrast of the in the 16×16 versions to match the standard Leopard icons more.

Bezel HUD UI for Quicksilver released

Jono — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 09:41:22 +0000

Julius Eckert has released his Bezel HUD UI for Quicksilver.
(This is a different version to Julius’ SilverFlow UI & Ankur’s Bezel Pro UI).

Based on the mock-ups here.

Still a few tweaks to be done but already looking excellent. Download it from Julius’ site.
(OS X 10.5 or later only).

Custom SafariStand buttons for Leopard

Jono — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 10:02:13 +0000

I’ve updated the custom ‘New Tab’, ‘Stand Sidebar’ & ‘Action’ icons for SafariStand.

The Action button could do with being wider (same width as the other buttons) but that’s a limitation of SafariStand (or Safari?).

Old icons top, new versions on the bottom

Update:
They’ve now been added to the official release of SafariStand.
