Hey guys, this is more for the creators of Webflow. I am loving your product and really getting used to using it everyday. I only use Chrome for this purpose. I would like to change the Chrome Icon to the W from your logo so its like launching an application with tabs for the creator, forums etc all set up. Could you tell me what font it is in or if that is a secret, could you create an app icon for me and anyone interested to use?
YESSS!!! Thanks so much! You Rock! And by the way, a native app would be amazing down the line to be able to work offline if I were away from internet access. Heres the new screenshot, I think it looks pretty awesome.
Also, If anyone else is on a Mac and wants to set the same thing but actually uses Chrome regularly, I believe you can make a copy of the brower app in the applications folder, rename it Webflow, add the icon and drag it into the dock. Reply here if you need any help doing it. Or I’m the only geek OCD enough to do this, who knows?
I decided to revamp the Google Chrome Webflow icon swap and do it correctly, by actually replacing the icon file within the Chrome application after renaming Chrome to Webflow. I think that it will revert back to the stock icon if you update Chrome but you can always just keep the folder I created and change it back to the Webflow icon.
So first, I made the icon fit more in line with the other apps by rounding the edges and adding a drop shadow. Now it looks like this.
I converted it to an icns file and replaced the Chrome icon within the application.
I’ve included a folder that has a shortcut to the location along with the .icns file so you can simply drag and drop and replace. Instructions are also included in the folder, read them carefully.
Also, since this is set up to use on Google Chrome renamed as Webflow, you can have a separate version of Chrome in your Applications folder for general use.
That’s a pretty cool idea. I wonder if I could get it to load like the dark gray mockups on webflow.com. The only thing I wonder is, as far as I know, you can’t put a shortcut like that right in the dock can you? I am also gonna look at fluid. That seems awesome.
It creates a Google Chrome App that you then can right click on and add as a shortcut to your main Applications folder. Then you just drag that shortcut over to your dock. Be sure to click “Advanced options” and then you can also add your Webflow icon, set default app color etc.
