I decided to change my Boot Camp drive so that I
can more easily distinguish it from my main hard
drive, and started googling for boot camp drive
icons, figuring someone must have already created
one. I found a few, but none were of sufficiently
high quality for my tastes (low resolution
Windows logos were used in most cases), so I
decided to make my own. This was a surprisingly
simple task, thanks to Pixelmator. I grabbed the
512x512 image from the default hard drive icon
file, and opened it as a TIFF in Pixelmator. I
then found a decent sized Boot Camp windows icon
(the grayscale one) inside the Boot Camp
Assistant application, and pasted that onto the
TIFF in Pixelmator. After a bit of perspective
fiddling, I came up with the finished result, and
have now posted it for all to see and download. Included in this
ZIP are the Pixelmator source file, a
512x512 exported TIFF of the Pixelmator
image, a ICNS resource file generated using
Icon Composer, and a folder with the icon
set as it's image (to allow for easy copying
and pasting to the Windows volume). (6 Jan
