The existing collection featured all the family, Ruprecht and (bizarre but not displeasing) Scully.

One new collection offers two of each family member, Itchy and Scratchy, Barny (IIRC), a family shot and more:

A nice spread, but only 256 x 256 px. You can find these files on deviantART , thanks to the efforts of guteCharlotte.

Another new collection offers five portraits of the Simpsons family in full 512 px glory:

You can find this collection on ~148′s deviantART page .

As I’ve mentioned before, replacing Mail’s stamp icon is easy.

These two new entries bring the Hawk Wings icon replacement list to 531 alternatives to the default stamp of a Red-tailed Hawk, although some of the earlier entries are probably dead by now and need pruning. apple mail, mail.app, icons, hacks, tips, mail stamps, simpsonsSimilar Posts:

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.

It adds a pane to Mail’s Preferences with options to choose the colour, shape (standard “starburst”, heart, star or circle) and font of additional counters displaying the emails in particular accounts or folders:

Earlier this month, the developer updated it. The new version (0.3) is Leopard only (earlier versions still work in Tiger) and offers a number of enhancements. First, it provides a proper uninstaller, which will please people who are nervous about adding plugins and whatnot to Mail and not being able to get rid of them again.

Secondly, it now respects customised Mail.app icons. Earlier version reverted to the default icon when extra counters were added. Now it draws them on top on whatever icon you have in Mail’s application bundle — good news for tweakers like me.

Thirdly, it now offers options to count the unread, read or all messages in a particular account.

Unlike Dockstar and Docktopus, MailBadger is freeware. The developer’s site is down for renovation, but this link from MacUpdate worked for me.mail.app, apple mail, plugins, dock icon, badges, productivitySimilar Posts:

They are not tilted at 11.7 degrees (more or less) like other Mail.app icons, but they are still sweet.

All your best friends are there — Snoopy, Linus, Schroeder and Lucy. Even people I can’t recall at all get an icon (who is Marcie?).

Here they all are:

In the last month or so over 110 new mail stamp icons have appeared, covering everything from celebrities to musicians such as Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, ten rappers I’ve never heard of and Iron Maiden. Half-Life, Lost and the Citadel also get a look in.

Descriptions, a link and a sample of the contents in each set follow. (Hint: Read to the end if you are new to Hawk Wings for installation instructions.)

deviantART user hellhound has created three sets of replacement mail stamp icons.

The first set is a block buster, offering forty icons, including Jessica Alba, someone called Ambrosio, Eminem, three Elvis icons, Half-Life icons, Johnny Cash, Keira Knightly, Maggie Grace, Ray Charles and lots and lots of Scarlett Johansson:

The second set contains ten pieces of Iron Maiden artwork (album covers?):

His third set features thirty assorted celebrities — among them three Bob Dylan icons, Keeley, Lohan and Aguilera et al, two Veronicas icons and, of course, lots more Scarlett Johannson:

Another deviantART user karnakhan offers twenty more celebrities , five variations on each of four images, two of Elisha Cuthbert and two of Scarlett Johansson (who is going very well in the 2007 Mail stamp icon stakes):

Lastly, TheEnvyProject offers up ten rappers in two sets.

I’m jiggy wid it, but I don’t knows their names well enough to type them out. I think my younger brother may once have liked Tupac:

Some of these are PNG or ICO image files not ICNS icons. You will need to convert them using a tool like the excellent and free img2icns utility.

He writes:

Antony Ellam’s USA and UK stamps made me envious, so I made a shiny new mail icon for myself using one of our nice Canadian stamps. As per Antony’s convention, the postmark has been changed to Markham, Ontario, where Apple Canada is located. It looks very nice in my dock so I figured I’d share it.

You can download the icon from Hawk Wings.

There is also a Canadian stamp in the “Flags of the World” Mail stamp collection.

As I posted long ago, every Mail user needs to feel grateful towards Canada.

Due to some bizarre operation of Chaos Theory (Wikipedia ), people steeped in maple syrup, lacrosse, mounted policemen, French, the Barenaked Ladies and beaver tails are particularly good at producing top quality Mail.app plugins.

The names of his children only hint at the depths of his creativity: Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.

Duncan Moran thinks Zappa is great too. He has created two Frank Zappa Mail stamps icons using a mail stamp icon template posted a while ago on Hawk Wings:

Antony has put them up on his blog.

The set features first and second class stamps, and the gold one. He has two sets, one “flat” and another which looks more shiny and “Aqua-like”:

He has created one based on the stars and stripes and another set of special issue stamps (some are included in the screenshot above).

Also listed in Antony’s post are links to some original Photoshop files which could serve as templates for people keen to roll their own Mail stamp icons.

Most are available as ICNS files, but some only as PNG images. These you will need to convert using a tool like the excellent and free img2icns utility.

I’ve added them back into the Hawk Wings Alternative Mail Stamps Icon list, which now contains 328 329 different icons. Enjoy.

UPDATE: Alex Lawrence emails to send a Royal Mail stamp icon that he has used for many years.

He doesn’t know who made it nor whose intellectual property I am potentially infringing by posting it, but it seems a shame not to make it available.

If you know to whom credit is due, let me know.

In the meantime, you can download it from Hawk Wings, where it’s stored until its rightful owner emerges.mail.app, apple mail, icons, dock icon, hack, tips, UK, Royal Mail, USA, stars and stripesSimilar Posts:

A new set of alternative Mail stamp icons posted on deviantART contains images of Adriana Lima, Angelina Jolie, four of Christina Aguilera, C.J. Rogers, Elisha Cuthbert, two Jessica Albas and Tila Tequila (Is that a real person? UPDATE: Oh, my goodness.)

Another icon features a woman doing something with a snake, but I can’t work out what and I am ill-equipped to make a guess:
