Hey, maybe you should give credit to the original autor, this is based on the blob template by Martin and shaheertarar from Macthemes.

I duno what the Blob Template you are on about?? I saw a set of icons called the kobhens which used a different Helevtica Font and was like this.

I basically like the kobhens but wanted the Regular Helvetica Font not the Neue, so I just did all the icons I needed from scratch and thought some people might want them....

So I think I gave all the credit needed in the dA description.

ok so I guess he is the wrong person to do requests eh

BTW, did you get permission to pack the icons together?

Permission? Why would I need permission from some one? I just took their idea and modified it to my needs, but I didnt use a template or anything I made my icons from scratch in Photoshop.

Like I have said, if you go to the link and download them the you will see I mention The Kobhens icon set which I originally saw.

As for the requests, I included a template.psd file so people can make their own if needed and a little guide in the Read Me file to do so :)

you still used Martin,shaheertarar ideas so should give some type of credit to theme

Any links? because how can I mention someone when I have never seen their work? As seriously I am only aware of what I saw which was the Kobhens Icon set which I DID mention in my Deviant Art description.

Maybe its a misuderstanding or a coincidence, but you must agree that the resemblance in composition and fonts its odd.

First time I have seen that, but his has blobs around like the name of the font states.

The font set i saw was The Kobhens - http://www.robertourso.com/?p=60

Done in Helvetica Nueue and only came with very few.

Mine are pretty much the same, just Helvetica Regular and comes with 60+ icons.

Fair enough, not really trying to accuse you of anything, I just found the coincidence odd :)

hehe I should have checked before your post. I just did a Aperture, Nikon Capture NX2 and Adium icon

For some reasons, the iCal one doesn't want to change and stays with the default icon. Is there anything special I have to do with that one? I tried loading the custom icons man times, restarting dock and restarting leopard a couple of times without success :/

Any ideas?

Pink Floyd, I found this on a Mac Forum:

I replaced the App-empty.icns file inside the resource folder of the iCal package with a custom icon (iCal/Contents/Resources/App-empty.icns), which was fine as long as the program was running. When iCal was quit, it reverted to the standard icon with current date.

There is another App-empty.icns file inside the iCalDockExtra.bundle package in another resource folder (iCal/Contents/Resources/iCalDockExtra.bundle/Contents/Resources/App-empty.icns). After I replaced that file as well, iCal remains customized at all times.

Thanks for this :p inspired me to make my own, using your font idea and the bubble one mentioned above:

Nice idea, might I do a suggestion?

I made these. I think that white works well with almost every app, I just do variations to the ones I use the most.

    • Just when I thought EA couldn't go lower. They surpassed my expectations
    • The GEEKOM A8 mini PC is 20% off (lower than Prime Day pricing) plus Huge Storewide Sale by Steven Parker GEEKOM is back with a deal on a variant of its A8 Mini PC powered by AMD's Ryzen 7 8945HS, which came out in 2024 with a TDP of just 45W, with a base clock of 3.8 GHz and a Turbo Boost of 4.9 GHz; although we never reviewed this variant, we did check out the Ryzen 9 version. As a reminder of what you get, below are the specifications for this Mini PC. GEEKOM A8 Dimensions 112.4 mm x 112.4 mm x 37 mm Weight 450g CPU Ryzen 7 8745HS (8 cores, 16 threads, 16MB L3 cache, 3.8 - 4.9 GHz, TDP: 45 W) cTDP: 35-54W (Default 45W) Graphics AMD Radeon™ 780M Graphics 12 RDNA 3 Graphics Cores 2700MHz 768 shading units / stream processors (12 CUs), 48 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs NPU XDNA architecture (Up to 16 NPU TOPS) Memory 16GB Dual-channel Crucial DDR5-5600MT/s SODIMM (up to 64GB) Storage 1TB NVMe M.2 (PCIe Gen 4.0 x4) Operating System Windows 11 Pro Bluetooth Bluetooth v5.2 Wireless LAN Wi-Fi 6E Kensington Lock No SD Card reader Yes (left side) Adapter 120W, 6.32A, 19V Power Adapter Front I/O Ports 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x 3.5mm front stereo headset jack Rear I/O Ports 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A 1 x USB 4 Gen 3 Type-C with Power delivery up to 15W (5V 3A) 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A 2 x HDMI 2.0b 1 x 2.5G RJ45 LAN 1 x DC-in Deal Price $519 (buying links below) GEEKOM has two configurations of the A8, with the only difference being the slightly less-powerful Ryzen 7 CPU with half the storage (1TB) and DDR5 memory (16GB). This knocks $350 off the price compared to the $999 Ryzen 9 configuration. In both instances, a Windows 11 Pro license is also pre-loaded. As I said previously, this appears to be an update on the A7 with the only difference being the newer CPU. The packaging has changed quite a bit from the A7. Instead of dark colors, now the box is completely white, and the foam cushion has been replaced by a cardboard mould that the A8 sits in, above a small envelope that contains a thank you card and booklet that has guidance on all of the controls, how to access the A8 to swap out the SSD or memory, and safety information in several European languages. Upon removing the cardboard mould, you can find another cardboard compartment that contains the power lead, HDMI cable, VESA plate, and a bag of screws. What’s In The Box 1 x A8 Mini PC 1 x Power Adapter 1 x HDMI Cable 1 x VESA plate and bag of screws 1 x Envelope with booklet and Thank you card Unlike the A7, the VESA mount option is back with the A8.
