The internet has countless tools available to users for Windows customization. We can change our themes, backgrounds, color schemes, sounds, and even icons. Such a great level of customization is rarely enjoyed by Mac users.

There is one application however that fills a big gap in computer customization for Mac owners. I am referring to Candybar 3.

Candybar 3 is a Mac-only application sized at 30MB and compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6. Simply hover your mouse over the download button to see this and access other release notes.

Candybar helps Mac users customize their desktop in two ways: customization of icons and the docks.

Icons can be customized using simple drag and drop procedures. Any Mac users who has used such an icon-customization program knows it is not easy to customize all icons in a Mac machine; good news for them is Candybar deals with even the most difficult folder/application icons and changes them with the same ease as regular icons.

The icons can be as large as 512×512 which gives users a massive room for detail.

As I mentioned earlier, the dock can also be customize to the user’s liking. Images can be dragged onto the dock, new shortcuts added, etc. It is also possible to use Candybar to set up multiple docks on the desktop; having multiple docks will surely organize icons better for the Mac user.

The custom icons and docks are all included in the neat container of the application which makes all its features accessible.

But all these features do not come for free. Candybar carries a price tag of $29. If you can afford it, this application will be a great addition to your Mac machine.
