• Finally a replacement for FolderIconX

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Customising folder icons makes it much easier for me to visually organise information in the Finder, and see at a glance what I'm looking for. So I was disappointed when I learned that development of Folder Icon X (an excellent wee utility) ended with OS X 10.4. I've tried a few replacements since upgrading to 10.5, and then 10.6. IconXprit is the best, because even though it's not the most intuitive application to use, it works.

• Alternative to labels

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />For those who much prefer classic labels to the garish X versions, and have been waiting interminably for Unsanity to update Labels X, iconXprit could be the answer. It can colorize icons from a custom list or any free colour via a contextual menu. In fact, though it takes a bit more setting up, iconXprit exceeds the capabilities of Labels X in several important respects: colours can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts, there is no seven colour limit, and you can still use Finder labels alongside icon colours (for those occasions when an in-your-face banner is what you really want). And colorizing icons is only a part of what iconXprit can do: it can also apply text, copy and paste custom icons, apply from an archive, and more. Early versions were a bit buggy, but the current version seems stable enough for me (G5, Leopard)â??and it does not use APE.

  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I'm a long time user of iconCompo, and I did localize it in French when the original translator stopped to localize future version. I localized iconXprit in French as soon as Trollin sent me a beta version for test. It works very well and do what I want it to do. Thank you Trollin, and merry Christmas to all of you :-) .
