Re: Mac OS X Document Icon Template

As an further question, could I ask if there is a standard location for all of the OSX toolbar icons? So many of the standard OSX apps use the same toolbar icons over and over (cut, delete, new folder, select font, open, save, etc). Are we allowed to reuse those?

I did a little research about this a while back, and as far as I can tell, it's "officially" not allowed to reuse the toolbar icons from Apple-supplied applications, but it seems to be quite the prevalent practice to go ahead and use them anyway. I think Apple really needs to address this and provide a common library of icons for application use.


There is one site I found trying to do this:

Mike Matas also has a free set:

Is there an icon template provided by Apple anywhere? If not, where can I find the .icns file for the standard white folded-corner plain-document icon? I could probably mod that.

It sees like at WWDC or in another forum, there was a link to an Apple-supplied Photoshop template of the standard Application icon that you could use as a starting place. But I can't find any references to it anymore, and I don't seem to have a copy of it in my icon resources.


However, the above website does have an Application template in Photoshop format that you can use, that is very similar to the default one.

I have found some other other free icon resources, but few match the quality or Aqua feel of what can be found at the above links. I can try and figure out where I got some of them if anyone is interested.
