Hello,

I’ve asked a long time ago if it would be possible to receive this great icon with the eagle as a psd, png, or something similar with transparent background.

Woul it be?

[...] about the guy from &seen making a new mail.app icon, and then Google for letting me search for the blog which eventually helped me take the &seen icon and set it up in Snow Leopard. Wait. [...]

I am new to the “change your boring icons” scene and having a blast. I couldn’t, however, find that lovely snow leopard icon (a must have!) anywhere in your collection of 509 icons. Fortunately I just spotted macguitarman’s email requesting it. Tim, could you also send the file to me? I would love to have it gracing my desktop. Thanks in advance.

I think its worth it to link directly to http://osxiconeditor.phatcode.net/ which has so many useful icon utilities.

@Steven — thanks for fielding that. Word for word, I would have said the same.

Richard, sadly icns files contain an icon, but that is different than having the icon of the file set to that icon (if that makes sense).

Search for a free little program called icns2icon.app – which will put make the icns its own icon file and will then work as you expect.

When I press ?-I to get the info pane – for the icon I want to use – there is no preview in the top left hand corner – just a blank/generic icns icon – has anybody got an idea why this is?

Thanks – Richard
