Although all of the workers love their Macs to death, one thing we don’t love are the default system icons that Apple seems to think are the bee’s knees. In the never ending quest to come up with the ultimate system icon replacement, our own icon whiz kid, David Lanham, is pleased to release his latest freeware icon set – Agua. This set of over 60 system replacement icons is smooth and refreshing and designed for use with our popular icon utility, CandyBar.
We invite you to visit and download this latest offering in either Mac or PC format. CandyBar users can download the special iContainer to set all of their system icons to Agua love with a double-click. To those of you not using CandyBar copying and pasting 60+ icons manually isn’t so bad. No, really. :-)
