Hacking the look of Mail—badges, icons, mailboxes

notificationbadgesfuturekarma.org has posted a set of blue notification badges to replace the default red badges in Mail.app.

Together with my blue and green badges posted last year and the link in that post to mixed set on ResExcellence , they offers lots of options for customizing how Mail looks in your Dock.

The set posted by futurekarma.org comes with an applescript installer. Mine and the ResExcellence set you have to install yourself (instructions are provided).

You can pair these new badges with one of 202 different Mail Stamp icons. Replacing the default icon of Mail’s Red-tailed Hawk is easy.

Once you’ve got the taste for hacking the look of Mail.app, you can move on to replacing the mail folder icons and even try out the Hawk Wings “Hasta la Vista” icon set.notification badges, apple gui, hacks, customizing, mail.app, apple mail, tips

    I’m wondering. Why can’t you keep your separate mailboxes separate in Mail? I have three mailboxes, I would love to deal with each individually…is this possible and I’m just slow? or is there a good reason why this is not possible?
