Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Thanks the Darren Burgos, I have learned how to replace the meaningless icons 
in Logic. I uploaded a set of 20 icons to the file area of the Logic_Cafe 
website freely downloadable. I am hoping others might upload their icons too.

To install them in Logic :
- go to Applications folder, and find Logic
- right (control) click "show package contents"
- drill down a few levels until you find the icon folder.
- the icons need to be numbered 1.png, 2.png, .... 324.png. Some will already 
be defined so you should probably avoid those. But if there is no icon, or 
just a generic number icon, you can replace them with these icons, after you 
change the names accordingly.

The icon set includes neuman and rode mics, les paul and strat guitars, virus 
and nova synths, various abstract figures, some with music (actually some 
Bach) over different colors, etc.

If you are uncomfortable modifying the program package, you can  
accomplish the same thing by putting PNG format image files in this  
directory:

~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images/Icons/

The tilde ( ~ ) is your home directory.

The maximum Image size should be 128 x 128 pixels. The numbering  
rules stated above still apply. Apparently Logic looks in this  
directory first and will use any custom icons there instead of the  
built-in icons of the same name.

I've created custom icons for my hardware synths doing this and it's  
worked quite well. :D

Hey, what's the Seven Nine icon about? I don't just frivolously ask because it's some Hot 
Chick, but seriously, it's the only icon whose name+image combo I don't understand/
recognise :P What's the 'seven nine' refer to? And who's the lady?

Thats Jeri Ryan who played "seven of nine" in the Star Trek Voyager tv show 
that ran 7 years in the US. It was kind of a joke, but I was thinking to put 
some miscellaneous faces and objects - for example to distinguish between male 
and female vocals. I grabbed some guitar photos from the Gibson and Fender 
websites, and mic photos from Neumann and Rode, and synth pics from Access Virus 
and Novation nova.

By the way, if anyone else wants to contribute icons, please do so. The 
easiest way to create them is to open Photoshop to 128 x 128 pixels. Then take a 
photo and open in photoshop. Then grab the layer with the photo onto the file 
which is 128x128 open at the same time. Usually it won't fit, but then you can 
resize it and see it immediately. When you are done "save as"... using PNG file 
type. then keep adding more layers to the same file. 

If someone has something really great for an icon and can't do photoshop, 
then send it to me and maybe I'll convert it.

I'm sorry sir, but we've been forced to revoke your geek license.   
Please turn in your geek badge and phaser at the nearest Star Trek  
convention.
