![]() When checksums/hashes are calculated for a bundle’s signatures, they only take into account the data fork of each file in the bundle, not their extended attibutes. This is essential because of the quarantine flag, which is also attached to files as an extended attribute. If signature checksums included extended attributes, attaching quarantine flags would instantly break the signature, so macOS wisely excludes them. That copy of your app now has the custom icon attached inside it without breaking any signature checks. ![]() ![]() The only disadvantage with this method is that, if the app is passed through a medium which doesn’t copy all extended attributes, the custom icon could be stripped.

This project apparently started shortly after iOS 7 came out because the designer, Stephan Ashby, was disappointed that OS X Mavericks didn’t make the move to flat design like iOS 7 did. So, he created icons himself as replacements for current Mac OS X icons and used iOS 7 icons as the base. The icons look great and he has icons for almost every major application that you would use on your Mac! Time for a Makeover! NOTE: As of this update (November 19th), CandyBar does not work on Mavericks. To see how to update your icons please see this article. NOTE: There is a new player on the block that has taken over where CandyBar has stopped. You can download LiteIcon by clicking here. After installing, the process is basically the same, however if you are having trouble with LiteIcon, see this article. You can download that file, along with the other items that your going to need to download, at the bottom of the page and just unzip it to get all of the icons! After you download the icons, have any idea on how you can apply them to their respected app? If so, then good for you! For everyone else, also at the bottom of the page is a link to the download for CandyBar, an app that allows you to (you guessed it) change the icon for your apps! To download all of the icons, I have collected all of the icons he has come out with as of August 22, 2013.
