Change any icon (mostly) that you want in Leopard

By Joshua Schnell Wed, Aug 6, 2008 @ 8:00 AM

A couple quick tips and you’re well on your way to customizing leopard beyond the dock location.  You have the ability to switch the icons all over the place.  You finally have all the control you need with native applications.

PS.  You can change the finder Icon by following these steps

    I usually use “sudo killall -HUP Dock” to kill my dock in instances where I need it. Then again.. I'm terminally geeky. It is a nice way to get your dock restart in one command, though ;)

    wow thats not the way to do that at all just do the get info and highlight the icon at the top.

      I think both methods are effective, but the way Josh describes probably works a bit better (for instance, pasting into the get info window almost never preserves transparency).

      Hey, nice tip. Thanks Mike.

      I, and obviously Josh, like finding ways to do things with built-in software, but a little freebie like that is always welcome too!

      That software is a TAD out of date though. I wonder if it works in Leopard

      Wow, thanks for the heads up. I had no idea that existed.
