The icons rock! You should check out the screenshots thread. Your icons are featured in a screenie there...btw do you think you could release a variation without the soft translucent background?

Interesting, although it sort of belies the reasoning behind putting a bezel on an icon when its selected... Good nevertheless however.

it would make my dock very happy if you could do some of the apps (safari, mail, iChat, System Preferences)

BTW, I love the icons very very much. Greatly appreciated.

How do I change the Mail.app and iCal icons?

I know it's not the click on app and Cmd+I for the Info box...

Great icons BTW. Maybe you should make an iContainer set and post it to IconFactory.

andretan: Show Package Contents on the application, then navigate to Contents/Resources and find the .icns file for the application icon (it's usually the name of the application followed by ".icns"). Replace this file with the one you want (you can create an .icns file out of an icon using Icon Composer in the developer tools, or Iconographer or Icon Machine or IconBuilder or any of a number of other products with Icon in their names) and you're good to go.

Very well done, I love having a minimal UI and these icons fit right in with it.

I have been looking all over all day for Application icons, when are yours going to be available for download?

Here is a list of apps I use most, if you wanna make icons for any of these that would be great, This is by far my most favorite, and complete for that matter, icon set in a while.

proteus and adium - cause I know a lot of people use something other than iChat.
subEthaEdit
Stickies
Omniweb
the iLife set
VLC
Konfabulator
MSoffice
Neoalarm
OmniOutliner
Sherlock
console
and while we are at it,
VirtualPC and Textedit to finish it up.

Killer icons!
One app icon that I would like to see make it in the release would be apple's X11 app.
No one ever makes icon replacements for the X11 app

I took a look at Bezel again, and I thought it would be much cooler to have a modified version of it, without the dark gray "bezel" thingy in the background of the icon.

Maybe AveTenebrae could do a "special edition"?

Cheers,
Andre

Looks Killer! I can't wait until you release them.
would you by any chance be able to include the original versions of the app icons that you previewed above? Like the iChat and Safari ones? Also thank you sooooooo much for including an X11 icon! You rock!

I like 'em but I find the radius on the background square too big....on the Apple bezels it has a smaller radius.

what no candybar or pixadex icons? I still like the icons but I preferred the chunkieness and bold white colours of the first preview you did of the new icons, the Adobe cs icons in that set were easier to 'speed identify' than these.
