TweetDeck icons

Monday, March 30th, 2009

TweetDeck is a great application with a pretty average dock icon. This morning I decided I’d whip up an pair of alternatives.

There are two alternative icons included in the .ZIP file: one is for people who are over blue birds, and the other is for those who aren't...yet.

Installation

Changing the TweetDeck icon to one of the new dock icons is a sinch:

  1. Download TweekDeck_icons.zip from the link below and extract
  2. Find Tweetdeck in your User > Applications folder
  3. Right/Command click and select 'Get Info'
  4. Drag the new icon over the top left icon in the 'Get Info' panel and release
  5. You should now see the new changed icon
  6. You may need to remove the old TweetDeck from the dock (by simply dragging it out), and dragging in the updated TweetDeck app to the dock

If you have any troubles installing you can leave a message below or get in touch via Twitter.

  1. Awesome Twiter Bird Rob. Is this one you’ve used previous and adapted to this icon, or is the bird a total noob too..?

    Any chance you’ll release is as a stand-alone, Digitalmashed Twitter icon alternate..?

  5. WOW! So beautiful. I am especially fond of the top one. That extreme minimal flavor is what my design craves. Thank you for sharing with us all.

  10. Awesome! It worked a little differently for me. I had to dig into the package contents on both TweetDeck and Tweetdeck_icon1.app, and replace the Icons.icns file in the Resources folder inside the TweetDeck package. Get Info wouldn’t let me replace the app’s icon the traditional copy-and-paste way.
