Many time you feel like jazzing up your desktop. How? Change the desktop image, change the size of the dock, and change the various MacOS X icons. There are some great sites with collections, forums where users share icons, and many other other resources that can help you on that. However, many times you cannot find what you are looking for. A google image search will find the image you are looking for. A simple way to make it an icon is to save the image, open it in Preview, sellect the image (⌘-A), and copy/paste it on the folder or object you want. In Leopard, however this does not behave properly. Although the image is there you cannot select the item bu clicking the image.
Looking around for a work-around I found what is probably the most precious Mac OS X application. It is called img2icns and it is almost free! Almost meaning has a nice free version and a $12.90 Pro version. mg2icns is an application to create icons from images or images from icons, keeping them organized for future use. Creating an icon is as simple as dropping one or more images into Img2icns and choosing an export format. Creating icons on Mac OS X was never so easy or so much fun, so start customizing your desktop just now!
As you can see it is very simple and intuitive software. You drag and drop the image you want on the dashed are in the main window. The you can select to save it as Folder (available in the free version), icns format (available in the free version), iPhone (available in the pro version) and Favicon (available in the pro version). Folder is the most used. Once you do it, you are prompt were to save it. Then simple you past in on the Application/Folder/Hard Drive. The pro version allows you to view the icons you have already saved converted and you can recreat them with a snap.
I love this little application. They are right those who say, precious things come in little packages.
