Hi!

I kind of Frankensteined the Things icon with the OmniFocus icon to create this. I have always appreciated the GUI of Things, but the development blows! :) Click the image to download.

Impressed with this - having been a Things user for ages switching to Omni Focus has been great but have thought on more than one occasion that Things really nailed their icon especially for use on the iPhone and Omni's is in comparison is pretty weak (again, especially on the iPhone!)

In the dock with number of tasks pending the icon returns to its original form. Do you have yours permanently set to the one you've made and if so, what steps did you take to make sure it doesn't revert to the original icon when opened?

Cheers,
Rob

I physically replace the icns file in the resources folder of OF and also use CandyBar to drag and drop replace. Hope it works for you!

Cheers,

Hello francola,

thanks a lot for your work on this icon.
it's the most beautiful Frankenstein I've ever seen.

It's so gorgeous, I want to size up my dock just to see the whole beauty! =)

Since this is a complete frankenstein, it will never become official, but it looks great and I replaced the official icon with your great description (wouldn't have found the place of the official icon otherwise).

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

again its beautiful, and yes OmniFocus icons suck. How do you replace the icns file in the resources folder of OF? I also use Candy Bar but in my doc the original icon come back.

Frank is exactly right; it always takes two steps to change the icon under Snow Leopard. However, I stopped doing that since I've been using the Sneaky Peeks and it gets old after a while...

@Francola

man, this is what I wish would happen. The beauty of Things and the versatility of OF!

I can't believe OF has such an ugly interface. I wish they did something about it because the app is awesome.

I just don't get it. I'll accept that Things might be more visually appealing to many people, but OmniFocus ugly? I simply don't understand.

Plain, understated? Perhaps. But ugly? You either dislike the Mac OS X aesthetic all around, or you haven't tinkered with OF's style prefs, or we're working with two different apps.
