A flat icon set for macOS, for a more uniform dock. Originally by Tina Latif.

About this fork

This is a fork of the original repository by Tina Latif. I have made this fork, to keep the project alive and up to date with icons for new apps.

I have tried to make the project more generic, by replacing the Adobe Illustrator files with svg files. Which makes it easier for people without Creative Cloud to contribute. Some new scripts have been added to make it easier to convert svg files to icns and png, see contributing.

Installation

Method 1: Icon Manager (Recommended)

There are a few icon managers out there. I use and recommend LiteIcon.

Just drag and drop the icons onto their corresponding applications, and then log out and back in to refresh the dock.

Method 2: Manual installation

Some programs may require manual installation (for example, if they are not directly in the Applications folder). The icns folder contains all the .icns files for this.

Find the .icns file for the program
Navigate to the program
Right-click on the program and select 'Get Info'
Drag the .icns file onto the existing icon for the program in the info panel

To install the Calender app:

Choose which icons you want to use from the flaticns folder and change the names to 'App.icns' and 'App-empty.icns' by right-clicking and selecting 'Get Info'
Go to Applications, right click on the Calendar app, and select "Show Package Contents"
Navigate to Calendar.app/Contents/Resources to find the 'App.icns' and the 'App-empty.icns' (recommended to make a back-up of these!)
Drag the .icns files from the flaticns folder into the Calendar app's to overwrite it.
Navigate to Calendar.app/Contents/Resources/Calendar.docktileplugin/Contents/Resources
Repeat step 4
Go to terminal and enter "killall Dock" to refresh your dock

Requests

If you want an icon that's not there, the preferred way of requesting is to file an issue for it.

You are more than welcome to send a pull request with a new icon, see contribute.

Contribute

Step 1: Making icons

If you want to add icons, I've provided some templates for the size. Use the red as a guideline for centered icons.

Step 2: Saving and generating required files

Before you can send a pull request, you must generate a 1024x1024 size PNG image, and a ICNS file, these image files are required to install the icon pack.

Save the icon to ./vectors as an svg file.
Generate required files, by running ./build.sh -ai from the terminal. You might need some dependencies for the script to work.

The easiest way to install the dependencies is by using Homebrew, which you can install from their website. After installing Homebrew run the following command from the terminal.

brew install imagemagick libicns
