[Visualpython-users] vpython icon for Mac

[Aaron T. <hpu...@gm...>]

For Mac VPython users:

I've been annoyed by the generic icon for the VIDLE application on the Mac. So, today I figured out how to change the icon to a somewhat standard Python icon that mimics the icon on Windows. (I'm guessing because I don't really know if this is correct or not.)

You can download icon(s) at:

Mac uses the "Get Info" window (cmd-i) to change icons. You have to copy the icon from one file and paste it for the other. However, you need a file with the correct Python icon. 

I had to use IconDroplet to convert the icns file to one that has the icon. Download IconDroplet from:

http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/19771/icondroplet

Use it convert the icns file to a file that has the icon.

Then, use cmd-i to view the info window, click the icon in the upper left corner, copy, and paste into the icon for the VIDLE application (in its info window).

I hope this helps the Mac folks out there.
