One Browser to Rule Them All
I’ve been playing with icons. I downloaded a bunch of them and replaced my story files’ boring document and folder icons with cool planets, aliens and PADDs. Along with one of the sets, World of Aqua 4 from the Icon Factory came a lovely icon of the One Ring, and I wondered where I could use it.
The answer, in the end, was obvious. There’s only one artifact of a dark, all-consuming power on my bright and sunny mac - Internet Explorer. I did the standard Show Info, copy new icon, paste over old icon with IE, and you can see the results here:

My One Ring transplant into IE was only partly successful. It shows up in the dock, but not everywhere in the finder. I put it into the dock so I could admire it - I never actually use IE. Directly above the One Browser is the result of a more complicated icon transplant. I hated the default AIM icon enough to do ResEdit surgery on it. I got the directions from Resexcellence - you can see the original version there. The replacement icon is from Spiffy Apps at Icons.cx.
