Versioned Vectorworks Icons - Updated Yearly

[MadXD]

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:

1. 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.
2. Right-click the app and choose Get Info
3. Drag the appropriate .icns file and drop it on the small Vectorworks icon in the upper-left corner of the Get Info window.
4. Delete the current VW alias in the dock by dragging it away and holding until it says "remove", then let go.
5. 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.
