It’s good that there are more people who like working aesthetics BTW there is no blue Bar , That screen shot is of mac launchpad That’s why names are visible , it is simply Mojave Desktop
9 Studio Design , Its a fun little project
1- First of all you’ll need Gimp or Photoshop , and some working knowledge for making icon Png’s.
2 Head over to
Applications > Neural DSP > Archetype Abasi ‘right click’
Show Package Contents - Contents - Resources
From there Copy ‘Icon.icns’
Make A Folder on Desktop - ‘Archetype Custom Icon Kit’ ( For future safe keeping
Paste this Icon.icns there .
and Open a New Project in Photoshop - Paste this icon to a - start a new Project according to the clipboard image/icon size.
Now the entire Photoshop project begins ,
So i actually don’t like Neural DSP icons , they are low res grey , and the white sign of every plugin has a soft hallow like light , in my opinion not so sleek .
So we gonna mask this existing Icon with Pitch black Mask , and that forms the Background for each Icon.
Now i made another white mask [ basically inverted the Black icon] cause Plini GUI is white .
The tricky part is cropping and polishing rest of the icon’s inner white shapes [ this takes time and perfection]
Then from there simply export each icon to the desktop safe keeping folder.
Now in order to change the icon ,
open the icon in default app preview > cmd+A > cmd+C
Go back to
Applications > Neural DSP > Archetype Abasi ‘right click’
Get Info > then on the top left corner of get info, you’ll find existing Abasi company provided icon .
Paste what we capied from Preview ‘the New Abasi Icon’
Nothing else needed don’t try to delete or mod anything inside the app,
I did change ‘Archetype Abasi’ title because there was no gap , it didn’t break anything
–Done
