Caffeine Icons Custom OSX Menubar Icons
Caffeine is a brilliant little Mac app that prevents the display from going to sleep, which can be really useful in many situations. The app is controlled from its icon in the menubar; this means it's easy to activate or deactivate the app quickly and it doesn't take up any room in the Dock. However, the default icons don't match the system style so I decided to create my own that were more in keeping with the rest of my menubar icons.
Designing at such a small scale (only 22px wide by 20px high) can prove challenging, so I began by creating a document with grid set up to the correct size and 'snap to grid' turned on. This gave me an easy way of moving the individual pixels around until I was happy with the design. I then saved the files using the corresponding file names of the original files. I used the .png file format to match the original icons file type - using the .png format also keeps the transparency of the background.
