News from IT House, March 16 Foreign media 9to5 Mac reported that Apple’s custom icon packs for iOS and iPadOS have become super popular with the “shortcut” changes in iOS 14. Today, foreign media has counted some exquisite iOS icon packs for everyone, which are inspired by the 1984 Macintosh and the original version of macOS.
IT Home is informed that these graphic packages all use a simple black and white color scheme. Modern icons and logos have been reimagined with pixel art. Some picture packages even include gadgets. If you have always liked the nostalgic style, you can try these apps.
System 1, $6
There are 45 gorgeous pixel art icons in System 1, designed to perfectly combine with Susan Kare’s original artwork. This icon pack also includes four small tools that work with Scriptable. You can find tools for battery life, time, calendar, and even cryptocurrency.
Most of this icon pack is made up of first-party Apple apps, but designers have also created icons for some of the most popular third-party apps.
System 1 is priced at $6, and the designer promised to update the icon pack more in the future.
iOS (Old School), ￡3.99
Designer Ben Vessey has created an extensive icon pack called iOS (Old School), which has more than 100 different retro-themed icons. The best part of this package is that it contains light and dark themes. There are even some different wallpaper options.
The graphic package almost contains the icons of all major third-party applications. It shouldn’t be too difficult to perfect your retro home screen with this bag. The price of these icons is £3.99.
iOS 128K, ￡2
The iOS 128K icon pack also includes two different themes, one is dark mode and the other is bright mode. There are 120 icons in this package, and there are options with and without borders. The graphic package also includes all the images, as well as the configuration file for installing alternate icons, so you don’t need to see the shortcut notification every time you start the application.
As always, be careful when installing configuration files on your device. You can check the internal content of the configuration files directly in the “Settings” application, although the website does make it clear that the only content in these configuration files are created web clips. But since the pictures are also included in the purchase, you can also use these pictures directly without installing configuration files. The picture pack is priced at ￡2, these are all retro Mac lovers must buy.
