Leopard’s been out for a while now and if you updated when it came out, you’re probably at a stage where you are a little sick of the system’s icons. Here are some free sets of icons that are fresh and can easily spice up your desktop. I come across a lot of icons, as I not only write for Appletell, but manage MacintoshGUI. We feature a design related goodie everyday, and here are some of the favorites for the past 30 days.
I find that Coda is one of the best tools for web development on the Mac, and the green leaf icon looks really good. After a while, as most things do, it gets a little old, and this set of Coda leaves will hopefully spice up your dock. These are made by Louie Mantia (pictured above), who has some CandyBar replacement icons, so check them out too. (CandyBar is an application that lets you change your system’s icons, dock, and mange a collection of icons.)
This set contains black and blue icons for some Mac OS X apps including, Mail, Pages, Preview and more. The first set Eugen Buzuk put out of black and blue icons was fairly popular, and this is his second set. Check out these and see how this look in your environment, and also check out his other set.
I love how elegant this set is, and how these look like something Apple would put out, but has a unique spin. The set is labelled “Volume 01”, so we can only hope to see another set in the future. (Contains icons for:Adobe® Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark® Xpress, iChat, Font Book and Mail)
Go trick out your dock and desktop with some of these, and please post your comments if you’ve got any other icons you use.
