TUAW Tip: Pixadex can set icons as iChat user pictures

Pixadex from Panic and The Iconfactory is truly the iPhoto for icon junkies; it allows you to organize icons into sets, preview them in virtually any size and even turn regular images into icons with a simple drag and drop. One of its coolest features, however, especially for the iChat junkies in the crowd, is the ability to turn any icon into one's iChat user picture from a right click contextual menu. After a short delay, the icon should appear atop your buddy list in the image well, but be warned: iChat won't remember the pic in the popup menu that is accessible from clicking that image well, but you can simply drag and drop the icon up there to give it a home amongst your other selections.

If this trick ends up causing some of you to develop Compulsive iChat Picture Disorder, we apologize in advance and urge you to send your therapy bills to spam@tuaw.com. We'll, uh, get right back to you on those.

If you're still merely interested in what Pixadex can offer your icon downloading habits, a 15 day/25 uses of the Apply button demo is available from The Iconfactory, and a full license costs $18.95.
