StIc, short for 'Stewart Icon server' (don't get this one confused with STiK, the TCP/IP stack), is a freeware utility, programmed by John McLoud and supported by InterActive in the UK. StIc was designed to enable desktops and applications to exchange icons and save duplication of resources, worthy aspirations, but that's not why I use it! Used together with Stewart and MagiC, by installing it in the APPS/START folder, StIc enables Stewart to display a mini-icon in the menu bar to indicate the currently running program - just like the Mac desktop.
OK, so this is a small niche in an already small niche, but it is ground-breaking stuff and it's also cute which is reason enough for this review here.
The icons are contained in a STIC.RSC file and can be edited using Interface or other suitable icon editor and the English distribution includes over 50 icons for popular programs. ST-Guide help is included.
