Description Download includes .icns files for Mac OS X, .ico files for Windows, and the original .png files packaged in a ZIP.

I recently upgraded from CS5 to Creative Cloud and while I love the updates to the programs themselves,
the dock icons for the entire suite are, well, less than satisfactory for me. I think they're a step backward.

For those of you who feel the same way (or for those who just want to customize your Adobe apps), here
is a free pack of clean, white icons. I've been wanting a set like this for years and couldn't resist making it.

As the preview image says, I based the colors and lettering off of the designs for CS5. The size and effects I
employed were inspired by things I've seen around dA in addition to Adobe's treatment of Acrobat Pro's icon.

I'm sorry if I've left out an Adobe program that you use. These are the ones that I live in since I'm strictly a
graphic designer, so I thought I'd share what I made for myself. If you're desperate for one, send me a note.

I've got several of these icons on my dock right now and they look really nice. Let me know what you think!

Thanks! I still use them to this day, even though I run Creative Cloud apps now.

lol, there are lots of ways to do it. I like to do it the manual way. Here's what I do on my Mac…

- Locate the program app you want to change in your Applications folder (i.e. "Adobe Photoshop CS6.app")
- Right click the app and choose "Show Package Contents"
- Navigate to Contents > Resources folder
- Find the .icns file that corresponds to the dock icon (look at the little preview images to make sure you grab the right one)

All you have to do is replace that file with the .icns file that I made and voila! 95% of the time, this method works.
If you already have the program on your dock, remove it and then put it back on the dock to see the new icon.

P.S. It's best to save the original .icns by Adobe somewhere else in case you want to switch it back.
