After a week of highly entertaining teasers, the new Iconfactory is finally open, and it's never looked better. You'll find a lot of goodies here besides the redone site (which, by the way, now includes desktops as well), including a full system icon replacement set by David Lanham to match his recently released theme, Amora, a really quirky new Dashboard widget called "Dine-o-Matic" to help choose your next dinner outing (I know it sounds silly but it's a hilarious widget, give it a try), and a redone StockIcons.com.

And those who were concerned about Amora's rather crazy looks will be happy to know it includes two more muted variants, including one that can best be described as a more modern, sharper Milk. Plus, there's a really cool desktop by former collaborater and one of my favorite artists, Piotr Gajos. Intel users, just make sure you have the latest ShapeShifter beta installed to have these theme work!

Take a visit to the new Iconfactory and David's site to grab these goodies. (And if the new IF isn't loading for you, give it some time for your DNS to update.) Congrats to the hard-working pixel pushers for pulling this off!

Edit: Whoops, Dave's site got dugg to death, so here's a mirror download link for Amora: Download it!

So of course, as many of you readers know, in an interview earlier in the week, Adium icon artist Adam Betts promised to release an updated application icon along with other goodies today. And I think you'll agree that he delivered in spades once you see what he came up with. Continue reading...
