[macOS] Acquire non-ugly file type icons, fix file type icons #722

Open TomHarte opened 4 years ago

TomHarte commented 4 years ago

Background:

Clock Signal currently attempts to provide icons for the Finder, etc, for all associated file types. For whatever reason* those don't appear. Because they are somewhat incongruous with modern macOS norms — they're photographic — I haven't pursued this problem very vigorously.

Desired task:

Construct or obtain some icons that fit current norms, ensure that they appear appropriately in the Finder.

* quite possibly because they're provided as PNGs at a single resolution and despite the long-ago disappearance of Apple's icon conversion tool, and the fact that Xcode is apparently happy with that, possibly .icns files are the way to go?

Are you referring to the disk image icons displayed in the host system?

mbrethen commented 4 years ago

When specifying icons in macOS, you use an icon file (with extension .icns), which is capable of storing the icon at several different resolutions. I created the floppy525 apple icon image (.icns) as an example. I think Xcode Tools includes an Icon Composer app to create icon resource files. floppy525.zip
