Atom Alternative Icons

Atomalticons

Alternative (and unofficial) icons to pimp your Atom 1.0!

If you enjoyed the 1.0 release of your favourite editor, here's a way to celebrate it with a new icon!

I really liked the graphics accompanying Atom's blog entry announcing version 1.0 of the editor, and I thought that it would be cool to have those nice colours on the application icon in the Dock. So... I made this.

Enjoy!

Instructions

OSX: How to change Atom's application icon in the Dock

  1. Download desired .icns icon file to your disk
  2. Select the downloaded icon file in Finder, and hit CMD+i to reveal its info panel
  3. Click on the small icon in top of the panel (left to the name), a blue outline should appear around it, hit CMD+c to copy the icon.
  4. Quit Atom (if open)
  5. CMD+click on Atom icon in the Dock to reveal it in the /Applications folder (it will be auto selected), or simply locate Atom in that folder and select it.
  6. Hit CMD+i to reveal info panel for Atom application
  7. Click on the small Atom icon in top of the panel, a blue outline should appear around it, hit CMD+v to paste the new icon you copied in step 3.
  8. Sit back, and enjoy!

Unfortunately at this point I have no instructions for other OSes but I'll try to get them here.

Please let me know if there's anything wrong with the icons!
