Popular Post MadXD Posted June 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) In late 2019, I grew tired of guessing between identical dock icons for previous & current Vectorworks releases. Instead, I now create versioned icons with a year badge for each release. As a visual aid, I also age (yellow) the icon of the previous version. If you want to eliminate this headache for yourself, download the .icns files via this link: VW Icon Pack by MadXD™. The files in this folder will be updated over time and I will try not to change the link. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Enjoy!! On a Mac, changing the icon is easy. Steps below: Navigate to the app in your Applications folder [/Applications/Vectorworks 2020/Vectorworks 2020] or right-click on the icon in your dock, then select Options > Show In Finder. Right-click the app and choose Get Info Drag the appropriate .icns file and drop it on the small Vectorworks icon in the upper-left corner of the Get Info window. Delete the current VW alias in the dock by dragging it away and holding until it says "remove", then let go. From the application folder in Step 1, drag the updated Vectorworks app to the dock. Note: This a refresh of my original post, which only covers the old 2019 and new 2020 icon set. I will post any future updates here.

Popular Post MadXD Posted August 21, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) Hello again! I've added this year's VW2023 New and VW2022 Old¹︎ icon files to the same shared Dropbox folder: VW Icon Pack by MadXD™. To fully replace your Vectorworks icons, please follow the instructions in my first post. Bonus for Lighting folk: I added a Lightwright 6 Beta icon—since the Beta is often more reliable than the public release. ¹︎As a visual aid, I age (yellow) the icon of the previous version, in case you keep both installed on your computer.

E|FA Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 @MadXD Thanks for the annual update. Instead of the "aged" effect, I invert the colors for the previous year's version, which is easy enough to do from your files. 3 Quote Link to comment

Cookie_NZ Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Hi @MadXD. Any chance of a 2024 update to these? I think they are the best thing since sliced bread.... Cheers, Cookie Quote Link to comment
Popular Post MadXD Posted September 25, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 25, 2023 As it happens, I baked 2024's bread last year, but I just sliced it into an ICNS file for you today. Sorry they weren't ready; I don't even think about upgrading until January or SP2. Vectorworks icons 2024 New and 2023 Old are now available via the usual link: VW Icon Pack by MadXD™. Thanks for enjoying!! Cheers, Michael 5 Quote Link to comment
