Skinning your icons? Yep. Adam, lead developer of IconDeveloper, has written an article previewing a new feature in IconDeveloper that will let users SKIN their icons. That is, mix images together to create new icons. It's pretty impressive.

Reminds of an old app that allowed you to mix two icons into one. But this one here seems to have much much more features.

Scooby, as with most things if you can't find a section for it or a link that is easy to find then it's not released yet and is only available via SDCentral with a subscription to Object Desktop. Here's a link to the information about IconDeveloper but it is indeed a new component for Object Desktop: https://www.stardock.com/products/icondeveloper/.

This will be great for making file-type icons to match themes. Often times an icon theme will come with 40 or so File Type Icons, but I want them ALL...so as long as somoene includes the blank file icon I'll be able to add logos on top of them. Even if they dont match the theme perfectly it'll still be pretty cool!

Oh yeah I remember that. It was generally a tool that makes all those icons with smaller icon in the bottom right out of one folder icon and many small icons like favorities, links, etc.
