Want even more icons?

There are a lot nice free icons out there on the Internet (usually free for personal use) but they come in different formats not suitable for using as application icons. OMC requires that the icons are in data fork-based icns format. Most icons you are going to find are in resource fork format hidden in folders (invisible "Icon\r" resource fork-only file). So if you want to add more icons to your OMC you need to convert those icons to icns format and make sure they all have .icns name extension. Once you have the right icon files you need to put them in:
/Library/Application Support/OnMyCommand/Icons/
and OMCEdit will pick them for icon choice dialog when you build a new droplet.

There are at least two free applications which can help you with batch conversion to icns format: FastIcns and NovoIcons.
Below are the screenshots of settings used for each application for batch conversion to icns.
