On: Hardcoded Folder Icons in macOS

[kitsunesoba]

I don't remember their names, but there used to be apps that would take a raw cover image and place it in a nicely rendered CD/DVD cover template to produce a pseudophotorealistic cover icon which you could then paste on rips.

The Mac customization scene used to be a pretty vibrant place… you can still see traces of it but it's dwindled over the years.

There's an app called "image2icon" which does this quite well. It's part of Setapp. It also does folders, etc.
