Notable Credits
Credit for the shortcut creation logic goes to
@robric18
, who solved some of the biggest problems that hampered launching from a widget. (See:
Fancy Folder Maker
)
Credit for the excellent color picker goes to
@entee
(See:
Quick Icon Maker
)
@Joexg
helped tremendously on the icon image masking. This means the
Fancy Small Icons
style looks great in Light Mode or Dark Mode.
BE sure to check out the help documentation in the shortcut for the full list of credits.
