![]() Since then I have been searching for other alternative, but Iconjar is the only one I have found. they simply stated it is its final demise considering current Apple policy on security. I have also hoped that Panic/iconfactory would let other continue on their steps, and I have even asked and pushed them to reveal if is there any workaround to have Candybar work on BigSur. #MAC CATALINA LITEICON SOFTWARE#I have imagined too to use Candybar on a VM, but that seems too cumbersome for my usual work routine and I would use a Mojave or Catalina VM only for that specific program (Candybar) and maybe the one and only real Vox music player (not the one available now, but the very first version of the program by Alessio Nonni Alenofx which in my humble opinion is one of the best, lightweight, simple-no frills, yet very effective piece of software to play all kind of music files).Īs far as my icons, I have preferred to take some time to export and catalogue my Candybar icons and import them back into Iconjar, but yet it's not the same feel and definitely it doesn't have the flexibility and freedom to play, move and review, you get in Candybar. the way you use Candybar it is EXACTLY the same way I use it and that's right the reason why Iconjar is not a true and real alternative for me, but just a minor, annoying "replacement" for Big Sur. #MAC CATALINA LITEICON FOR FREE#I mean if they're not going to develop it and they give away the serial for free so everyone can keep using it, why not release it as open source and maybe someone out there could fix it. It's too bad Panic or IconFactory or whoever "owns" CandyBar now won't release it as open source. So after all I might need to move all of the icons into the VM but then I think it will just work. And my keywords seem to be there, but search isn't returning any results because Spotlight probably isn't indexing this shared folder. They are all replaced by the generic CandyBar PXICON image. CandyBar loads and seems to see my library but none of the icons show. This way I don't need to duplicate all the icon files within the VM. Then I use the prefs in CandyBar to point to that for the library. #MAC CATALINA LITEICON MAC#I have shared the ~/Library/Application Support/CandyBar folder from my "real" mac (hackintosh) to the VM. I'm still trying to get CandyBar to work well in my VM of Mojave. The fact that there isn't some form of easy import to bring over my CandyBar collection as-is was kind of a deal breaker. And when I started to play with it, I realized I had already looked into it years earlier and decided against it. I posted about it Thursday before really playing with it more. It might be the best modern option, but it's still lacking. That might still be fun if it were ever possible again, but I am kind of digging the look and feel convergence with iOS. Anyways, CandyBar is just the perfect solution for all of this, especially considering it's tagging abilities to help organize.īut I did also love theming way back when and have fantastic memories of using Kaleidoscope. xml that MyThoughts would automatically turn into a mind map with the correct icons for the branches. My goto mind mapping app is still MyThoughts and I was actually working with the developer where I had an automation that would parse my GTD project folders and generate an. I also do mind mapping and it's great to have tons of icons to paste onto branches. ![]() ![]() ![]() Using this method I can scroll through my folder of project folders and it kind of turns into a vision board because I choose icons which visualize my desired outcomes for those projects (and when I change the icons I have an automation that stores this history of what the icons were and when they were changed). I do GTD and all my project folders have custom icons. I use tons of custom folder icons and CandyBar makes it so easy to drag and drop a folder onto the app and have a custom icon applied instead of having to copy and paste it into the Info dialog. (I fail at this goal epically.) I also use PathFinder instead of Finder, and it lets me increase the size of the folder icons in list view. I actually also have a goal of picking one icon for each day as kind of a visual journal so I can look back at a previous month view and get a much better and faster feel for what's been going on. ![]() I want to see a pic of a turkey or Christmas tree. I don't want to look at my month view and see the word "Thanksgiving" or "Christmas" in the bottom right corner of a day's box. I use Bus圜al because as far as I know it's the only calendar app that lets you paste graphics in. Instead, I just use it to catalog my "icons", which I really use anywhere and everywhere as clipart. Paulo/Guzhogi, yes CandyBar can be used for automatically theming the default icons but that's not really why I use it and so that's not the functionality I need replaced (and I have a feeling that's true for Lukeit, too). First to discuss two different purposes of CandyBar. ![]()
