Since I converted to Mac OS X a couple of years ago a feeling to keep my OS nice and tidy has grown slowly but steadily. Today I installed a small Subversion server in my home folder to keep track of my programming changes and discovered that the folder didn’t look as nice as I wanted to. A big blank folder spot in the middle of my vanilla Apple folders, gasp! Searching the net for a minute my patience ran short and I decided that I had to do something about this myself, right away.
This post is a guide to make your own Apple-like folders. It’s not pixel-perfect in any way but a good starting point for anyone who wants to try. The result is something like this (or whatever icon you want to make):
Requirements for this tutorial:
*Mac OS X
*Photoshop
*AppleFolderIcon.asl (Free Photoshop CS5.1 layer style made by me)
*Xcode developer tools (Found on your Mac OS X install medium)
*IconDroplet (Free)Note: Some pictures is in swedish since my OS is in swedish, shouldn’t be any problems for the tutorial though :)1. Find the default folder icon
Most of the familiar Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) icons can be found in:/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Here you’ll find the file GenericFolderIcon.icns which is the default icon for folders.2. Extract the PNGs
Every .icns file consists of 5 different images representing the various sizes an icon can have: 512×512, 256×256, 128×128, 32×32 and 16×6. In order to make a custom folder icon we have to create four of these since the default folder icon only has four(well, we can use only one size but the end result isn’t as good).
I used http://iconverticons.com/ to extract the files since the conversion preserves the transparency and quality: Upload your GenericFolderIcon.icns and download the (Linux) PNGs sized 512, 128, 32 and 16.3. Import layer styles
Using the layers I’ve created, download, you can pretty much get vanilla-like Apple folder icons from any black/transparent shape. The download is an .asl-file that contains four different layer styles used for each size of the icon. Just double-click the file and Photoshop will import them.
To check that the styles are imported, go to: Edit → Preset Manager… → Select Styles from Preset Type and look for the four blue styles (presumably at the end).4. Create the icons!
Open up the GenericFolderIcon_512x512x32.png that you downloaded in Photoshop and create a new layer (⇧ + ⌘ + N). Then draw or paste you desired form or logo into the new layer. For this tutorial you can test with the custom Subversion logo I made, link.
It’s important that you only use black as color if you want the icon to look Apple-like since the layer styles uses black as base when you apply them, or else you get the wrong facet. I don’t say the layer styles create a perfect Apple-like-facet but it’s the closest I got.
When you’re satisfied with your new layer you apply the style you previously installed. Select (Window → Styles) and the upper right box on the screen changes to “Styles” (With default settings in CS5.1). Scroll down the styles and you’ll find the four blue styles you imported.
Now you should get something that looks pretty much like an Apple folder with a custom bevel. Now you have to do this for the other icon sizes so you’ll have a set. Follow these previous instructions but be sure to choose the correct layer style for each one!
Tip: You can paste your 512px-sized black shape into the smaller 128px icon layer and resize it to 25 % of it’s original size since 128 is 25 % of 512. Select the whole black-shape layer with ⌘ + A. Copy and paste it into the smaller icon image and then do a free transform with ⌘ + T. At the upper bar you’ll see two percent fields named W: (width) and H: (height). Move the shape into place and you’re done. You can use this little trick with the other sizes aswell, just make the 32 to 16 transisiton 50 %.
When you’re done (phew!) you’ll have four different sizes of the same icon. Save each one in PNG format ( ⇧ + ⌘ + S → Select PNG from the Format: dropdown → Save).5. Packaging
Now comes the use of Xcode developer tools. Navigate to /Developer/Applications/Utilities and start up Icon Composer. This application is used to create .icns files. Just drag and drop your files from finder into the respective size-box in Icon Composer. Don’t mind about the 256 box. When you’re done, save using the menu.
Now there’s one little thing left to do in order to be able to use your custom icon, usually you just right-click, choose “Get Info” and copy/paste the icon at the top left. If you try that with the .icns file you just created you’ll discover that this icon has taken the place of your gorgeous custom icon.
IconDroplet is a tool “that takes raw icon files (*.icns) and turns them into files that are embedded with the icon. After the files are processed you can “Get Info” on the resulting files and copy/paste the icons to other items.” (description taken from macupdate).
So, download IconDroplet and just drop your .icns file on the application. It creates a file in the same directory as your .icns file.6. Using
To use your new icon, right-click the file IconDroplet made and select “Get Info”. In the upper right corner you’ll see the icon you made. Left-click it once and copy it (⌘ + C). Then right click and do the same thing to the folder that you want to have the new icon, only paste is instead of copying it (⌘ + V).
You’re done, congratulations! And my home folder has a prettier Subverion folder.App Icon
Beautiful app icons are an important part of the user experience on all Apple platforms. A unique, memorable icon evokes your app and can help people recognize it at a glance on the desktop, in Finder, and in the Dock. Polished, expressive icons can also hint at an app’s personality and even its overall level of quality.
In macOS 11, app icons share a common set of visual attributes, including the rounded-rectangle shape, front-facing perspective, level position, and uniform drop shadow. Rooted in the macOS 11 design language, these attributes showcase the lifelike rendering style people expect in macOS while presenting a harmonious user experience. To download templates that specify the correct shape and drop shadow, see Apple Design Resources.
IMPORTANT When you update your app for macOS 11, use your new app icon design to replace the icon you designed for earlier versions. You can’t include two different app icons for one app, and the macOS 11 app icon style looks fine on a Mac running Catalina or earlier.
Design a beautiful icon that clearly represents your app. Combine an engaging design with an artistic interpretation of your app’s purpose that people can instantly understand.
Embrace simplicity. Find a concept or element that captures the essence of your app and express it in a simple, unique way, adding details only when doing so enhances meaning. Too many details can be hard to discern and can make the icon appear muddy, especially at smaller sizes.
Establish a single focus point. A single, centered point of interest captures the user’s attention and helps them recognize your app at a glance. Presenting multiple focus points can obscure the icon’s message.
To give people a familiar and consistent experience, prefer a design that works well across multiple platforms. If your app runs on other platforms, use a similar image for all app icons while rendering them in the style that’s appropriate for each platform. For example, in iOS and watchOS, the Mail app icon depicts the white envelope in a streamlined, graphical style; in macOS 11, the envelope includes depth and detail that communicate a realistic weight and texture.
macOS 11
Consider depicting a familiar tool to communicate what people use your app to do. To give context to your app’s purpose, you can use the icon background to portray the tool’s environment or the items it affects. For example, the TextEdit icon pairs a mechanical pencil with a sheet of lined paper to suggest a utilitarian writing experience. After you create a detailed, realistic image of a tool, it often works well to let it float just above the background and extend slightly past the icon boundaries. If you do this, make sure the tool remains visually unified with the background and doesn’t overwhelm the rounded-rectangle shape.
Make real objects look real. If you depict real objects in your app icon, make them look like they’re made of physical materials and have actual mass. Replicate the characteristics of substances like fabric, glass, paper, and metal to convey an object’s weight and feel. For example, the Xcode app icon features a hammer that looks like it has a steel head and polymer grip.
If text is essential for communicating your app’s purpose, consider creating a graphic abstraction of it. Actual text in an icon can be difficult to read and doesn’t support accessibility or localization. To give the impression of text without implying that people should zoom in to read it, you can create a graphic texture that suggests it.
To depict photos or parts of your app’s UI, create idealized images that emphasize the features you want people to notice. Photos are often full of details that obscure the main content when viewed at small sizes. If you want to use a photo in your icon, pick one with strongly contrasting values that make the main subject stand out. Remove unimportant details that make primary lines and shapes fuzzy or indistinct. If your app has a UI that people recognize, avoid simply replicating standard UI elements or using a screenshot in your icon. Instead, consider designing a graphic that echoes the UI and expresses the personality of your app.
Don’t use replicas of Apple hardware products. Apple products are copyrighted and can’t be reproduced in your icons or images. Avoid displaying replicas of devices, because hardware designs tend to change frequently and can make your icon look dated.
Use the drop shadow in the icon-design template. The template includes the system-defined drop shadow that helps your app icon coordinate with other macOS 11 icons.
Consider using interior shadows and highlights to add definition and realism. For example, the Mail app icon uses both shadows and highlights to give the envelope authenticity and to suggest that the flap is slightly open. In icons that include a tool that floats above a background — such as TextEdit or Xcode — interior shadows can strengthen the perception of depth and make the tool look real. Shadows and highlights should suggest a light source that faces the icon, positioned just above center and tilted slightly downward.
Avoid defining contours that suggest a shape other than a rounded rectangle. In rare cases, you might want to fine-tune the basic app icon shape, but doing so risks creating an icon that looks like it doesn’t belong in macOS 11. If you must alter the shape, prefer subtle adjustments that continue to express a rounded rectangle silhouette.
Consider adding a slight glow just inside the edges of your icon. If your app icon includes a dark reflective surface, like glass or metal, add an inner glow to make the icon stand out and prevent it from appearing to dissolve into dark backgrounds.
Keep primary content within the icon grid bounding box; keep all content within the outer bounding box. If an icon’s primary content extends beyond the icon grid bounding box, it tends to look out of place. If you overlay a tool on your icon, it works well to align the tool’s top edge with the outer bounding box and its bottom edge with the inner bounding box, as shown below.
In addition to the bounding boxes and suggested tool placement, the icon design template provides a grid to help you position items within an icon. You can also use the icon grid to ensure that centered inner elements like circles use a size that’s consistent with other icons in the system.App Icon Attributes
All app icons should use the following specifications.AttributeValueFormatPNGColor spaceDisplay P3 (wide-gamut color), sRGB (color), or Gray Gamma 2.2 (grayscale)LayersFlattened with transparency as appropriateResolution@1x and @2x (see Image Size and Resolution)ShapeSquare with no rounded corners
Don’t provide app icons in ICNS or JPEG format. The ICNS format doesn’t support features like wide color gamut or deliver the performance and efficiency you get when you use asset catalogs. JPEG doesn’t support transparency through alpha channels, and its compression can blur or distort an icon’s images. For best results, add deinterlaced PNG files to the app icon fields of your Xcode project’s asset catalog.Free Mac Os IconsApp Icon Sizes
Your app icon is displayed in many places, including in Finder, the Dock, Launchpad, and the App Store. To ensure that your app icon looks great everywhere people see it, provide it in the following sizes:
*512x512 pt (512x512 px @1x, 1024x1024 px @2x)
*256x256 pt (256x256 px @1x, 512x512 px @2x)
*128x128 pt (128x128 px @1x, 256x256 px @2x)
*32x32 pt (32x32 px @1x, 64x64 px @2x)
*16x16 pt (16x16 px @1x, 32x32 px @2x)Mac Os Icons For Windows
Maintain visual consistency in all icon sizes. As icon size decreases, fine details become muddy and hard to distinguish. At the smallest sizes, it’s important to remove unnecessary features and exaggerate primary features to help the content remain clear. As you simplify icons that are visually smaller, don’t let them appear drastically different from their larger counterparts. Strive to make subtle variations that ensure the icon remains visually consistent when displayed in different environments. For example, if people drag your icon between displays with different resolutions, the icon’s appearance shouldn’t suddenly change.Icons For Mac Os Lion Download
The 512x512 pt Safari app icon (on the left) uses a circle of tick marks to indicate degrees; the 16x16 pt version of the icon (on the right) doesn’t include this detail.
