New Mail Stamp Icons: Simpsons, Mario Brothers, UK stamps
During my five months off, some nice new alternative mail stamp icons have appeared.
As everyone knows, changing Mail.app’s Dock icon is easy, and fun.
First up, seven icons from the Simpsons TV show (Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart, Ruprecht, Bobo and a “Simpsonised” Scully):
You can get them from deviantART 
where westendgirl1984 posted them.
Other nice new icons include a collection of Super Mario Brother icons , a beautifully-made First Class UK postage stamp and a collection of mail stamp icons from the movie Ratatouille
Some of them are image files that need to be run through a converter like img2icns and some are icns files but need to be run through icon.cx’s icns2icon app in order for Finder to recognise them as icons.
I’ve added them to the Hawk Wings Alternative Mail Stamps Icon list, which which now contains 467 mail stamp icons (assuming all the links still work).

If you want to use an image as an icon you can open the image in Preview, press command + a, then command + c. Go to Applications Folder, select Mail and press command + i. Click on the icon next to the bold formatted text that says “Mail” an press command + v. Now the Icon is replaced :) If you want the old icon back just click on the icon again and press the delete button.

Thanks for the reminder. I keep meaning to post this way of doing, but never seem to remember at the time.
