Kanye Is An Icon…Literally

Q: What's better than Kanye West's head replacing every icon in your Dock? A: Nothing.

Whether you passionately love or vehemently hate Kanye West, there's little question over his ego. Both those of you unamused by his self-proclamation of genius, or more by Russell Simmons' same sentiments, often suggest that the multi-platinum rap star has a big head on his shoulders. Now, with Kanyefy, a groundbreaking new mod that changes every single icon on your dock into a beautifully proportionate and sensual Kanye West dome, these accusations are finally the undeniable truth.

Created by F.A.T. Labs, the same code-heads who brought you Kanye Vision, this important step forward in desktop customization is laid out in four easy steps towards achieving your processor's Kanyefied workout plan.

From F.A.T. Labs:

STEP 1. DOWNLOAD KANYE

The good folks at the Kanyeheads Tumblr have compiled dozens of transparent PNGs of Kanye’s head for your use. Save your faves to your computer.

STEP 2. CONVERT KANYE

Go to http://iconverticons.com/online/, upload your Kanye heads, and then download the .icns versions.

STEP 3. THE SPECIAL SAUCE

Go to your OSX Applications folder and right-click the program whose icon you want to change. Then click the “Get Info” option.

Drag and drop your desired Kanye .icns onto the top left icon.

STEP 4. HACKER S***

Go to your Terminal app and type “killall Dock” (the caps are important) and press enter. BOOM. DONE!!!!!!!

Now, whether you prefer tough, stern Kanye, big-shades-and-a-red-hat Kanye, or even coy Kanye, you can stare at him all day long. Oh, and make sure to turn on Max Magnification under System Preferences, for maximum cranial potential.

[Ed. Note: This mod is only available to OSX users at the moment]. h/t The Fader
