[vlc-devel] New Document Icons for Mac OS X

[Dominic Spitaler]

I've created two new versions of the icon for generic files  
(subtitles) and audiofiles (mp3,…)

I put them all together on some sort of background so you can see how  
it could look on the desktop.
By request I'll upload the PSDs for everyone…

Here's the screenshot
