Frequently Asked Questions

How can I customize banners?

You can create a new banner and choose the color you want and also customize the text color. It is also possible to position the banner on the right or left. You have the possibility to save the banner and use it for later.

How do I use Icons in a script or from the command line?

Icons supports command line use. To use the icons_cli command line tool, run

/Applications/Icons.app/Contents/Resources/icons_cli

followed by the option you want to use.

The icons_cli command line tool requires the following options to work:

/Applications/Icons.app/Contents/Resources/icons_cli -i <PathToApp> -o <PathToOutput>

Creates the same three default output files as the Finder extension. For example.

This creates an install.png and uninstall.png and an animated png uninstall_animated.png of Privileges.app’s icon on the currently login user’s Desktop.

For assistance, please run the following command to display all available options:

/Applications/Icons.app/Contents/Resources/icons_cli

How can I make an icon set via the finder extension?

Right click on the selected icon and select Make Icon Set. If you do not have write permissions in the folder where the app is located, this will not work.
