PoulNyrup Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Howdy there, folks. I'd like to hear if any Windows user has found a smart way to extract dock resources from an iContainer file (i.e. to be thereafter used in a Rocketdock/XWindowsdock/Objectdock skin)... I ask because I've stumbled over quite a few excellent icon/dock packages for Mac users, especially the wonderful Somatic set-up for Candybar by David Lanham over at iconfactory.com: http://iconfactory.com/freeware/preview/somaapp Now, for the happy Mac user among us it's pretty simple: Download the .dmg & extract to find the .icontainer file. Throw this into your Candybar app & away you go... So far, on my less-than-awesome XP, I've: 1. Downloaded the .dmg 2. Extracted the contents of this .dmg with either the latest 7zip or TransMac 3. Among the extracted files is the icontainer file... 4. I open the .icontainer with the latest Axialis IconWorkshop 6.31 When IconWorkshop opens the .icontainer, all I see are the included icons in .icns format. Which is fine - I can export these as .png's or save as .ico's to my heart's content. But what I'm really after is the actual dock resources themselves. Which seem to be invisible to the naked eye in IconWorkshop for Windows... :( Please, someone tell me I'm a n00b because I haven't heard about the dead-simple method of XXX to get the dock resources... And "ask your good friend who's on a Mac to extract the dock resources for you" is - although worthy advice - not my preferred procedure, because 1. I would like to be able to do this on my pc & 2. I don't have any Mac friends... :sob: Hope someone can point me in the right direction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
