Microsoft Office: Mac icons

Some users look beyond the functionality of the applications that help them carry out the tasks and spend a little time assessing the aesthetics. On some occasions this may spur the need to change the looks, even if the modification is not major.

Provided the above scenario, visual customization packs are exactly what is needed and the Internet does not fail to provide a rich assortment of options.

Most of them are for personalization of the operating system shell but some users display their artistic talent by making available icons for various programs.

Such is the case of the Mac icons for the Microsoft Office suite. The package includes a set of nine image files, most of them crafted for the components of the Office suite.

One of them is intended for MSN Messenger, but since the program is no longer supported it can be used for any instant messaging application installed on the system or repurposed for a different program; the same goes for the products that are no longer developed, like FrontPage and Entourage.

The pack includes the icons both in ICO format as well as PNG. Changing the shortcut icon for a program is a simple task that requires just to access the “Change Icon” option from the Properties panel.

The Mac icons for the Microsoft Office are sleek looking and would fit perfectly in a dock bar such as the one provided by RocketDock, especially since the creator provides them in PNG format at a 300x300 size.

Replacing the old shortcut image is not complicated and the system is not affected in any way. The only change is an improvement in the desktop items or the dock bar.
