OpenCanopy Icons

[blackosx 1,359]

Notes

1 - OpenCanopy is a graphical user interface for OpenCore.

2 - It's currently considered experimental and is not recommended for everyday use.

3 - This is not a support topic for OpenCanopy but instead somewhere to discuss icons.

4 - See OpenCore documentation for how to configure and set up OpenCanopy.

 

Overview

Many users like to keep their hacks looking as close to a mac as possible by using OpenCanopy with Apple's own icons, however for users that may want 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).

EDIT:

Removed preview image of drives with labels as they have started to become real icons as of Pick_and_Mix_Icons_3.

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

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.

Dang! You have really been busy!

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.

Beautiful.

 

Does OpenCanopy even discern between other OSs?  

[blackosx 1,359]

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.

It doesn't need to. 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.

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.

I have now setup a repository for these icons and all icons sets that I have previously posted this week have now been combined and ordered in to sub directories.

https://github.com/blackosx/OpenCanopyIcons

 

[blackosx 1,359]

I've been working on a new set of images for Set3 and have uploaded the preliminary icons to the OpenCanopyIcons repo. More will follow as and when I get time.

Andrey1970 hi,

Thanks

@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.

[blackosx 1,359]

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.

[pkdesign 112]

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?

[blackosx 1,359]

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
