Icon 7 is an icon editor which is integrated into the Finder under System 7 or later. It allows you to modify existing icons or create new icons to customize your files, folders, or disks in the Finder.
This demo version of Icon 7 contains all the features of the regular version of Icon 7 except you can not save any changes you make to an actual file, folder, or disk. You may save changes into an Icon 7 library which you can use with the full version of Icon 7 if you decide to purchase it.
Using Icon 7 is very easy. First, take the extension called Icon 7 Demo and drop it into you System Folder. Then restart your Macintosh. (Icon 7 Demo will be placed into the Extensions folder in your System Folder.)
Once you have restarted, select any file, folder, or disk you want to put a custom icon onto, then select Get Info from the File menu. (All this is in the Finder, of course.) Next select the icon in the Get Info window by clicking on it once. Once you have selected the icon, you can start Icon 7 by double-clicking on the icon. (This is a total of three clicks.)
Icon 7 will automatically create a default library with several basic icons in the Preferences folder when you click the Library button. The full version of Icon 7 comes with a library of icons which you can install and use immediatly.
