Leopard-ready iMac icons
I'm not sure exactly what you could use these for, but the better question might be what can't you use them for? Easily identify iMacs on your network, or use an app like Candybar to put these wherever you want. Want an iMac full of iMacs? You got it.

Just in time for Leopard, reader Fernando sent us a cool free download he's set up-- he's gone back and recreated all of these iMacs, from...

Leopard only includes icons back to the desklamp imac... I can see how you could add additional icons into the resources, but how do you know what machines are called on the network to invoke additional icons?
I ask because I have a hacked AppleTV that has AFP enabled and I'd like to add an AppleTV icon so it shows up in my network browser. (I know, I have OCD).
Okay I changed icons in tiger before with few hassles, doing the usual get-info, copy icon you want, select little icon in info page of the icon you want to change and then paste. With these leopard icons kindly pointed out to me by HazKid when I get info on the icons there is just a generic ICNS icon that is available to copy, not the lovely shiny mac mini icon I actually want. Can someone post instructions on how to change these icons please. Preferably without a 3rd party app like web-searches suggest! Cheers

Man this is a preview for icons, not real life or video games, its dumb to blur your icons in your preview to indicate depth, why don't you email Apple and tell them to add depth to all their images and blur them so you can't make them out clearly, cuz you know, thats a good idea...
I never stated that the icons weren't included, I simply stated that they weren't set by default.
Can someone find me proof otherwise?
#11 and #14: #12 is right. As I said earlier, I have been using leopard for long enough t know that is true. I can email you proof if you like. I can even send the actual icon set. You can see a preview here: hazkid.com/home

The icons are located in
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
They're professionally designed, and not to be insulting, but they are well... better.
Nice icons but he could have used the Leopard desktop background.
Oh, and holo, Leopard does not set the default icon depending on what machine you have.
