Fifty gorgeous icon sets for Macs

50 gorgeous icon sets for MacsWhat can I say? I loves me some sweet-ass icons. If you like to mod your desktop with gorgeously rendered icons as much as I do, you're going to love this list of what App Storm calls 50 unusually awesome icon sets for Mac.

CandyBar - Customize your Mac OS X icons

CandyBarWhile most people would agree that Mac OS X is a very attractive operating system, there are still times when you'd like the ability to apply a new set of icons to your system. The easiest way we've found to apply icons system-wide for all operating system objects is to use a utility called CandyBar.

CandyBar, from Panic and Iconfactory, is an easy to use utility that lets you browse through the various operating system elements in Mac OS X that require icons, and set new downloaded icons as you wish.
