Speaking of what’s in my dock, why are all application developers still using blue as their primary icon color? I know I’m not the first person to complain about this, but it’s really out of control.
Because it’s so wide-spread, applications with more colorful icons (in this case, Reeder, Chrome and iA Writer) stand much more and look less generic. Icon designers: It’s time to quit blue for a while. It’s okay. There are other colors out there.

the predominance of developers and web design are boys. Color and logos tend to bleed identity issues. Blue gets picked by guys as favorite color in the 55-70% range depending on what study you are looking at.

Also annoyingly true on iOS. On my iPad’s home screen, 8 out of 14 icons are blue.

Bothered by blue? Try Candybar (though I’m fairly certain you’re already familiar with it). I use an icon set called Token by ~brsev. Gives my dock a nice minimal look.

Blue icons on my dock. Mail, Things, iChat, Skype, Twitter, Safari, iTunes, Photoshop.

I always get bugged for having my dock on the right side of my monitor. I’m glad to see I’m not alone.

I swear to Gob I thought this was a Unity screenshot until I enlarged it and I was about to check my Calendar to see if it was April 1.

You can have your icon in any color you want, as long as it’s blue.

blue inspires trust, and is calming. that’d be my guess. or they are all depressed people who are just eager to plaster more blue around?
