IconBox is a helpful organizational tool for Macs. When the first version of IconBox was released 7 years ago, it was the first Icon Organizer for Mac OS X, allowing users to conveniently organize their collection of icons in an iPhoto-like way. With version 2, IconBox has been completely rewritten and features a brand new interface.
IconBox 2 is one App featuring 4 modes!
Mode 1: Organize
We have the same convenient organization features with a couple of additions. The libraries are now called “Boxes”. Drag icons from the finder into a box, create as many boxes as you like. Furthermore Boxes can be arranged in folders and subfolders and you can re-drag Boxes and folders to change their order. We also created “Smart Boxes”, like iTunes Smart Playlists, these folders are constantly updated based on given criteria. The search feature has been revamped to search for different criteria and the speed has been improved a lot.
Besides organizing, you can export icons to different formats like ICNS, png, tiff, jpeg, gif, the iContainer format and last but not least as a convenient .zip package, ready to share with others.
Mode 2: Customize
With version 2, IconBox features full icon customization. Users can customize their system icons, dock icons, application icons and even their dock in an easy to use drag-and drop way.
Mode 3: Tools
The Tools section is meant to feature different Icon Tools, serving different purposes. In this new release there is 1 tool available, called “XRay”. More tools will be added in future releases. The XRay tool scans your application folder and lists all of the available applications. When clicking an application, you are able to peek inside the contents of an application and filter all the stuff in there by type. (png, tiff, pdf, ins) Furthermore you are able to export selected items or even every item in an application to your disk.
Mode 4: Online
The Online mode contains 3 features.
1: Icon-Of-The-Day: A new icon from a particular icon designer every day, downloadable directly into IconBox 2, straight into the “Downloaded” Box, ready to share or customize. 2: IconFinder: IconBox 2 implements the powerful iconfinder.com API with which you can search all the icons on iconfinder.com without having to leave the App. Found icons are directly downloadable and also feature a link to the Designers’ website. 3: Icon Sites: A convenient list of major icon sites on the web, more sites will be added on the go. Double-Clicking a site opens it up in your default web browser.
Requirements
Mac OS X 10.6 or later.
Version 2.5.4:
Fixed a potential crash on Mac OS X 10.7 when searching for icons via IconFinder.
Made customizing icons easier with the use of a “Helper Tool”. Your password will only be needed once to customize and restore icons.
Minor bugfixes and improvements.
