The New Candy
By David Sparks at Macsparky.com
My geekiness has sunk to new levels. I actually spent $29 on a program that lets me play with icons. This doesn’t really make any sense considering OS X allows you to do this without any fancy software but I can’t help it. The new CandyBar 3 is a guilty pleasure. It lets you tweak your Mac icons (all of them) and your dock to your heart’s content. The new version also incorporates a library function (formerly sold as a separate product – Pixadex) so you can easily browse your icon collection. The new version is Leopard only and . . . well . . . all Leopardy with large icons and Quick Look. I specialize in collecting Tiki icons and this allows me to keep them all together. CandyBar 3 also accepts packages of icons called “iContainers” which makes importing and replacing a snap. And guess what? There are even more Tiki iContainers. I will post a more thorough review one of these days but for now head on over to Panic Software and check it out. Aloha!
