Flickr Find: the Fluid icons pool

July 29, 2008 · Print This Article

The team down the road from me at Carsonified have been doing it, and you can do it too.

Fluid is a brilliant free app that turns any web site into a self-contained application on your Mac. whether you want to keep your webmail outside your normal web browser, Fluid is what you need.

Thing is, all the apps it produces need icons, just as any app in your Applications folder does. By default, Fluid grabs the .ico files it finds on web sites and uses them as icons, but they don’t scale well. Where can you find

decent alternatives?

The reply is the Fluid icons pool on Flickr, where a busy community of Fluid users have been busy making a selection of beautiful icons that work perfectly with any Fluid SSBs (Site-Specific Browsers) you’ve created. The icons in the pool might look weird to start with, but that’s considering the PNG originals have been converted to JPG format by Flickr’s brain. To manufacture use of an icon you like, compose certain you view and download the full-size original, which will be the PNG file you need.
