Folder Icon X Reviewlong-time user, but... - Version: 3.0.2, 11/14/2007 03:26PM PST

I've always liked the simplicity and ease-of-use of this little app. Unfortunately, it looks like the developer has lagged way behind on it - nevermind Leopard compatibility, it hasn't really kept pace with Tiger. Hopefully we'll see some activity soon.

Meantime, if anyone can suggest an app that's just as easy (I don't have time to master killer icon creation apps - I just want plug & play and put away) as this one and will default to Leopard folder icons, please post!

I dont know where the info of UNIVERSAL BINARY comes, but as a matter of fact Folder Icon X is NOT. Hopefully soon it will be... :) For the time being, it runs fine on Intel Macs.

I'm really picky about icon creation and after a lot of searching on VT I've come back to Folder Icon X (was using a freeware CM not supported on intel). Not only has Folder Icon X improved, its also Universal Binary; I'm grateful to the Dev for maintaining the app and would recommend it to anyone needing a fine tune app for custom folder icons.
