i spent the weekend researching mac os x Aqua interface elements, and stumbled upon this classic collection of #OSX icons from 2000.

in the early 2000s, PixelJerk aka Samuel Krueger was one of the first to publish high-quality Aqua-themed icons for the new Mac OS X operating system.

few other icon designers demonstrated such skill and creativity with their icon sets.

it took the entire day, but i (by hand) converted each of these 200 Macintosh Icon format files into PNG and ICNS formats used in modern macOS. 😓

pixeljerk.com has been offline for 20 years... huge thank-you to macmonkies.com for keeping the only copy of these icons that exists on the web!
