Like a fan-made tribute, I'm trying to copy the look and feel of the finder while improving a few spots. As I iconForFile: and iconForFileType: are quick and easy. But there's no 'darken' option, and I couldn't find a way to specify a generic folder as a file type. I suppose I could make my own solutions, but it'd break when later versions of the OS changes the default icons. Enter GetIconRefFromFileInfo and GetIconRefFromTypeInfo. (Yes, there's almost no mention of FromTypeInfo on the dev pages, either -- I radared it as Bug ID# 5504413)
Included is the result of this, for your use.
A good deal of this code was inspired/lifted from IconGrabber. Like TweakedTables, I'm placing the parts I've added into public domain. Like a mathematical function, law of physics, or Hello World, it has no warranty or other promises. It's simply code for demonstration and education. Enjoy.
