Matte Nano Icons
Inspired by Shawn Blanc’s post a while back about jailbreaking his iPhone, I took to the task myself today and, so far, have been very impressed with the results. I have installed the apps that Shawn suggested, including Winterboard, the theming engine for jailbroken iPhones.
While Shawn was kind enough to post some of the icons he had made to fit the Matte Nano theme, I still had a few apps that, in my opinion, could still use better icons.
I have created 12 new icons to replace icons for the following apps:
- Weightbot
- Convertbot
- Ego
- FlipTime [iTunes link]
- Glyphboard
- Instapaper
- Lose It!
- Messages
- Simplenote
- Skype
- Things
- Voice Memos
I’ve created a zip file for you to download. Simply upload these to your iPhone using SSH and you’re gold. If you have any suggestions for making these icons better, or if you have an icon you’d like recreated for the Matte Nano theme, feel free to email me.
Bokeh Desktop
Yesterday I tweeted a screenshot of my recent desktop setup. My friend Patrick Rhone was kind enough to post the screenshot to Minimal Mac, and it has generated quite a bit of attention to my little blog here.
A couple of people have asked where they can get a copy of the wallpaper displayed in the screenshot. The image was actually a test shot I took with my new Nikon D90, just to see what using the manual focus on my 50mm f/1.8 lens was like. For whatever reason, I really liked the natural colour combinations that taking a picture of a plant in front of a window produced.
As a way of saying thanks to Patrick, Minimal Mac and its readers for visiting, I thought I would share the image with all of you. Just click the image below to download the 2560x1600px wallpaper.
Enjoy!
Grooveshark Icon
(reposted by request)
Over the past few weeks I have become increasingly interested in user interface design, and even more specifically icon design. I have never had the opportunity to create an icon, and wanted to give it a shot.
A couple weeks ago I began using Fluid.app for my absolutely favourite online music service, Grooveshark. I tried searching for a good icon to use, however came up short. On Friday I opened up Photoshop, and took to the task myself.
Using the amazing Grooveshark logo developed by the incredible David Pache, I took to designing the icon. I wanted to make sure I adhered as best I could to Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), and made sure to include appropriate lighting and shadows.
Special thanks to John Ashenden for his advice and encouragement.
To use the icon for your own Grooveshark app, download the .zip file below and follow the included instructions.
