Create scalable, masked, resizable icons in Photoshop
Authored by: osxpounder on Mar 01, '04 01:03:15PM

I tried IconComposer a few weeks ago, and I couldn't figure out what to do with my icns file. Now that I've got it, what do I do with it? It doesn't even have the darn icon, just a generic Apple ICNS icon!

Create scalable, masked, resizable icons in Photoshop

.icns files are generally used by developers. However, if you want to edit the icons of any Cocoa application (or Carbon .app application) you can, since they use .icns files inside the bundle to define the icon.

I will note that if you replace one of these files, and you're running Panther, you have to update the modification timestamp of the bundle itself. The easiest way is to use the 'touch' terminal command.
