I need Sound Set and Dock Icon Help!

Post by SeraphineRose »

Hey Everybody! I'm new to this site, and have a question about sound sets and dock icons. I've found a lot of cool ones, but I want to try and create my own. The only problem is I have absolutely NO CLUE what the heck I should be doing. Can anyone give me some easy to follow instructions? I'm working on Mac 10.3.9, and have Final Cut Pro, Sound Studio, the Macromedia Suite, and Photoshop CS and Illustrator.

If there's already a thread on this, can someone send me a link to it?

Thanks! :)

It’s pretty easy:

1. Do “Show Package Contents” on the SoundSet and/or DockIcon.
2. Replace the files in place with your own except for the Info.plist.
3. Edit the Info.plist with your own data in TextEdit or any other text editor.
4. Rename the SoundSet and/or DockIcon.
5. Open it to test it in Adium.
6. If it works, ZIP the SoundSet and/or DockIcon in the Finder.
7. Upload the SoundSet and/or DockIcon to AdiumXtras.com

Voilá! Note that 6 and 7 are optional, but recommended ;)
