…Adobe’s icons are available for every app?

Adobe CS3 Icons

Adobe’s ‘periodic table of applications’ branding for their new CS3 suite is a definite love it or hate it design. For some, they’re too plain, but for others, they’re a perfect way to declutter the desktop. If you happen to love them, and want to extend Adobe’s icon simplicity to the rest of your dock, then I Can’t Fly is here to help with an entire set of icons for nearly every app, done up in the colored letter style. While I’m not necessarily a fan of the simple icon design, I do like the look of having everything unified, though it would make app identification a little harder at first. Definitely different though.

…Activity Monitor does more than you think?

Here’s a neat Mac trick: Open your Activity Monitor (it’s located in the utilities folder), right click on the dock icon (or ctrl click for you Mac purists), and select one of the available dock icons. The new icon can show you a variety of things in real time, including:

  • CPU Usage
  • CPU History
  • Network Usage
  • Disc Activity
  • Memory Usage

For those of you that want an easy way to peek under your computer’s hood from time to time just to see what’s going on in there, this little tweak is sure to help.
