CandyBar is the easiest, quickest and by far, the safest way to customize the icons found in the system and application toolbars of Mac OS X. CandyBar also lets you customize apps, folders, clipping icons, locations and even the OS X Trash icon!
Panic released the new version last night and it is a great improvement over version 2. Pixadex is built into CandyBar, so you can manage your library and change system icons through a single, simplified interface. You can also change the appearance of the dock, and many of the iContainers available from Iconfactory have been updated.
It's pretty sad that OS X's method of changing icons is so clumsy and non-user friendly that a piece of third-party shareware had to be written. OS X's shortcomings aren't the fault of Panic Inc, though. This is a well-written piece of software.
Has anyone ever found a complete set of iContainer icons yet?
The only ones I've ever seen seem to miss a few in Tiger (namely the Burn and Smart folders).
I've looked at pixelgirl, iconfactory and interfacelift
Opinions:
isn't 2.0 still available? someone asked for Candybar for Tiger, and I though 2.0 still was downloadble from the page, but I can't find it
3.0 really is amazing. Interface is easy to use, and beautiful.
Maybe this used to be $13, but it's $30 now. Someone should change the price.

Can't wait till CandyBar 3 so I get rid of the new ugly and counter-effective new folder icons in 10.5

Cool app, and worth the money. It makes changing tons of icons, and manages them all very well.

Having problems with 'stubborn' icons under this. Finder, and Terminal refuse to have their icons changed, even at restart/kill.
Just like the developers, this little app rocks. If you like messing with your interface, this is a must have application.
