how do you do this? I'm copying stuff right out of illustrator 10 and trying to paste it in the get info window and it keeps on giving me a white background
yes i did that! thats how you used to do it in OS9
but it keeps on giving me white backgrounds instead of transparency!
I've tried creating an icns file using the dev tool thingy and transfering that file's data into the (hidden) icon file in the folder via BBEdit but no worky
I've seen a lot of people with fancy icons on their stuff here. howd you do it? or has nobody tried creating original icons here....?
To get transparency, crank your settings in Illustrator so that all solid colours are black, and all shadowy areas are fading between black and white.
Paste your Icon into Iconoggrapher, then paste your mask in. You may want to do this several times at different sizes if you want your icon to look good at all sizes. I just made an action (in Photoshop) that resized my icon and it's mask to the right sizes.
