Popular Post blackosx Posted June 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) OpenCanopy is a graphical user interface for OpenCore which is currently under development. To setup OpenCanopy 1 - See OpenCore documentation 2 - See Dortania GUI setup You should setup OpenCanopy using the source files from OCBinaryData to check all is working. These files will provide you a UI as close as possible to a real Mac by using Apple's own icons. Users wishing to deviate from Apple's boot icons for a more custom look, they're left with having to find their own icons from various places which can sometimes result in a not so consistent theme feel. To help, I am aiming to create families of 'similar' icons, amongst others, which may eventually lead to a more harmonious look when mixing/customising icons. The idea is that eventually there will be a large 'pick and mix' range of icons where the user can choose which ever ones they like whilst knowing they will all look like they're meant to be together. Of course, I could never come up with every permutation that someone could imagine so there will always be icons missing from the range, but over time I hope to grow the collection(s). For an overview of available media sets from different contributors, check the OpenCanopy-Gallery at dortania. OpenCanopyIcons GitHub Repository All icons are being hosted at https://github.com/blackosx/OpenCanopyIcons The front page of that repository contains links to previews of all the icon sets. Current number of icons in the repo: [Set1: 24] [Set2: 296] [Set3: 3,527] [Set4: 333] [Set4: 10,684] = 14,864 OpenCanopyIconsSet3Builder The beginnings of a tool to generate custom icon sets from the repo (Details) Current version: 0.2.0 (Updated for OpenCore 0.7.0) OpenCanopyIconsSet3Builder_v0.2.0.command.zip OpenCanopyIconsSet5Downloader The simple bash script to download individual icon sets from Set5 of the repo Current version: 0.1 (Updated for OpenCore 0.7.0) OpenCanopyIconsSet5Downloader_v0.1.command.zip Fonts OcFontFileGenerator (Mar 01 2021 - Bash script with dpfb and FTNTools to create font images) Aug 14 2020 - Initial look at OpenCanopy's support for AngelCode BMF Feb 28 2021 - Revised font files with fixed kerning pairs) QEMU Disk Image QemuDiskImage (Mar 6th 2021 - Virtual setup for testing icons in OpenCanopy.

See this post from Aug 16 2020 with links to initial pre-made packs with previews. However, due to OpenCanopy still being experimental and subject to changing requirements and mandatory icons I feel this process can quickly lead to out of date icon packs which need time to rebuild. I will therefore no longer support these icon packs, instead will work on a programmed method to download icons from the main OpenCanopyIcons GitHub repository as a 'set' ready to use in OpenCanopy. The beginnings of this is the OpenCanopyIconsSetBuilder script above. For reference, the existing BOCIP_3 icon packs have been updated to include Left and Right icons for OpenCore 0.6.6, but all others are older and NOT up to date for recent versions of OpenCanopy.

blackosx Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) OpenCanopy_Pick_and_Mix_Icons_2 These use the same icon models as OpenCanopy_Pick_and_Mix_Icons_1 but have different lighting and altered textures. There are now only light and dark internal images as I've dropped the mid grey. Shadows have been added to the light devices. The internal drive icons include extra variations with a subtle macOS image from 10.12 thru 10.16. There are three sets of recovery images with each set showing a different world region on the map, Americas, Europe, Asia. The Selector and Selection images are available in 9 different transparency levels. Then complete set of icons in OpenCanopy_Pick_and_Mix_Icons_2 Spoiler Edited July 8, 2020 by blackosx Removed download link as all icons are now available in the GitHub repository.

blackosx Posted June 30, 2020 Author Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) OpenCanopy_Pick_and_Mix_Icons_3 Building on the last set and slowly adding to the collection I've included the missing, non-mandatory, Other and External icons that OpenCanopy looks for. There are now also some white external drives, some Microsoft and Microsoft Windows 10 ones and a preliminary few internal drives with labels. I think it may be good to eventually have some kind of visual repository for these where it will be easy to scroll through and maybe just download the ones of interest... Anyway thats for later, for now I'll just keep posting a handful as I create them.

blackosx Posted July 1, 2020 Author Share Posted July 1, 2020 (edited) OpenCanopy_Pick_and_Mix_Icons_4 I have generated dark and light Microsoft Windows 10 and Apple HardDrive icons with stronger desktop images to give the user choice over the more subtler ones posted previously. There are now some internal and external generic Linux icons and also light and dark HardDrive icons for 15 Linux distro's.

blackosx Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) OpenCanopy_Pick_and_Mix_Icons_5 HardDrives with overly large OS icons (possibly too big, but trying to give the user choices). Also, OS icons on their own without the drive image. Edited July 8, 2020 by blackosx Removed download link as all icons are now available in the GitHub repository.

The user can take any .icns file, rename it to .VolumeIcons.icns and place at the root of the volume, then set PickerAttributes in config.plist to a value that reads them. * Check OpenCore documentation for correct details.

blackosx Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) OpenCanopy_Pick_and_Mix_Icons_6 Add some HardDrives with large macOS Roundels, and then the roundels without the drives underneath them to match the sizes of the large Linux ones in pack 5 (I think when they're on the drives they are definitely too large and will have to address that later on). I then realised the OS logos didn't have shadows so went back to re-made those. And then I noticed older External icons also didn't't have shadows so went back and re-made all those. So this pack has many duplicates from previous packs, but with shadows. Edited July 8, 2020 by blackosx Removed download link as all icons are now available in the GitHub repository.

pkdesign Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 @blackosx What app are you using to create the icns file? When I drop a PNG onto Image2Icon the file is get is way too large and has way too many sizes included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hey @pkdesign. I use the icnspack utility from OpenCore. It takes a 128x128px and 256x256px PNG file, and writes them to a new file with the correct icns headers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdesign Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Argh, I've been a this forever. Am I missing something in my command? icnspack /Users/pkdesign/Desktop/Selected1x.png /Users/pkdesign/Desktop/Selected2x.png Selected.icns It says "Missing file Selected.icns" and deletes the Selected1x.png file. Doesn’t running the command take *1x.png and *2x.png and make *.icns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 It takes 3 arguments. The first argument to pass is the target icon name, then the 2 PNG files: For example: ./icnspack HardDrive.icns ~/Desktop/HardDrive_128.png ~/Desktop/HardDrive_256.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackosx Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) I've been generating colour variations of the Set3 icons and just uploaded 456 new icons to the repo. Each icon is made from two renders in Cinema4D, one for 128px and another 256px. I do this to achieve the highest quality image rather then scaling the larger image down. The renders are then loaded in to Photoshop before finalising and saving out to PNG files. These are then optimised using pngquant before building the final .icns files using icnspack. There are still some missing icons to complete but I'll get to those when I get more time... Edited August 3, 2020 by blackosx 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkdesign Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I've completed my first try at a set of OpenCanopy icons. Not a full set but contains most of the most used icons. https://github.com/pkdesign/OpenCanopyIcons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) I've not posted here few a short while but just wanted to show that I been slowly expanding the Set3 range of icons when time allows. As well as the original dark and light range I created, there are now a range of 12 different colours, each with their own selections, selectors and cursors all available at the repository. Here are some links to preview icon sheets (on a grey background): Original Light and Dark (1/3) Original Light and Dark (2/3) Original Light and Dark (3/3) Aqua Blue Cardinal Green LightBlue Lime Orange Pink Purple Red Violet Yellow Edited August 11, 2020 by blackosx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackosx Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I've been playing around with OpenCore's font support and think how it's currently done is great, though it limits the possibilities of customisation (maybe by design to keep it more in line with Apple's UI) Font size cannot change much as the lineHeight must be 12 or 24 (if x2) for OpenCore to accept it. Fonts PNGs can only be mono, so no coloured fonts, and shading will prove difficult due to the tight random placement of the glyphs in the AngelCode BMF. Having said that I've generated some different ones to maybe give the UI a slightly different look, if wanted. Here's an image showing different slices of a selection to show each font looks in the UI Spoiler EDIT (27th Feb 2021) It’s become apparent that these fonts do not work properly with recent versions of OpenCore and may cause a hang. ** only use these with caution ** EDIT (28th Feb 2021) Please use the newer font files with fixed kerning found here Edited February 28 by blackosx 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
