Icon Machine has just been upped to version 3.2. Mostly minor modernizations. It uses the Mac OS X font panel for the text tool, with all the fancy typography settings involved, plus Quartz text drawing. It’s also Carbon Event driven, which basically means it uses less CPU time when it’s idle. One bug that was fixes is saving to a file server - you no longer get a weird error code when you try to do that.

This version also requires Mac OS X 10.2; if you’re still using OS 9 or 10.1, you’ll have to stick with version 3.1.

And before anybody asks, there is one problem with the font panel: you can’t select Helvetica Oblique or Courier Oblique. It’s actually a bug in Mac OS X.
