+## Todo
+- Small icon had more defined edges / dropshadow, need to figure out how to extract that icon and look at the styling instead of using the same image for all sizes
+
+## How to source the folder icon
+1. Create a new folder (or use an existing one)
+2. Right click on the folder and select "Get Info"
+3. Select the image next to the name of the folder (icon in the top left of the window) and copy it (via ⌘ + C or Edit -> Copy)
+4. While that is in your clipboard, pop open Photoshop (PS) (or editor of choice) and create a new project from the clipboard
+5. Edit as necessary!
+
+## Editing notes
+In the included PSD, I've ruled out the centre points / thing's I think will be handy. The layout for which I sketched out from other macOS icons, using the above method to first get the icon (say, Downloads) into PS, then looking at the dimensions / layout / opacity / colour / inner-dropshadow used within that to make it as similar as possible. Just took a hell of a lot of fiddling with the blending options, making micro adjustments, while comparing it to the reference icon until it looked as near as I could realistically get it.
