Just let me know if you want any changes to be done or if you miss some kind of icon!?

cool, thanks. how do you change the icon in the application? i may use this to separate the different versions i have on my computer. thanks again.

thanks! Looks better.

Is there a way to make a PC one? I like those icons!

DOH! I'm a retard! I just saw that, ignore my last post.

Cool. Thanks!

To select the icon you wish to use:

1. Click on the icon you wish to use
2. Click on Finder – Edit – Copy

To change the old icon to the new icon:

1. Click on the icon for the application you wish to change
2. Click on Finder – File – Get Info
3. In the Get Info window, click on the icon you wish to change
4. Click on Finder – Edit – Paste

...should be as simple as that!

:)

I think there is some freewares out there that will do the job for you! Search on Versiontracker for example. Don't know about the quality after the conversion though!

Nice work dj dawn, Did you use iconographer for these?

No! I just used Photoshop CS2 and a conversion app! but iconographer or iconbuilder might be worth taking a look at!

dope, thanks dawn!

hmm. i can do everything excpet for #3+4 on your guide. i'll keep trying it. thanks again!

what conversion app did you use? was it a photoshop plugin?

You should click on the small icon in the upper left corner of the Get info window. Not the large one that appear under the overview tab! When you have highlighted the small icon just paste the new icon.

Hope this help!?

not working for me either. i click on the old logo in the "get info" box but i can not paste.

Hmmm...weird! Well I haven't been on mac more than a couple of weeks so I just googled how to change an icon for an app and it worked for me! Maybe you must have the latest version of Mac OS X!?

I'll try to post a few images how to do it when I get home tomorrow!

Dj Dawn did the hard work making these icons. I went ahead and used Icon Brush and applied each icon to a folder. Now they work in OSX (sorry pc). You ca download the whole set here.

Nice m3sport!
Easier to download as a zipfile! I have to learn how to zip things on my Mac. Have recently switched from Windows so everything is a little bit new to me!

But you shouldn't need an app to change the icons! If you are logged in as administrator on your Mac you should be able to change the icon the way I posted about earlier!? It works for me anyway!

---------------------------------------------------

To select the icon you wish to use:

1. Click on the icon you wish to use
2. Click on Finder – Edit – Copy (or command+c)

To change the old icon to the new icon:

1. Click on the icon for the application you wish to change
2. Click on Finder – File – Get Info (or command+i)
3. In the Get Info window, click on the icon you wish to change

(the icon should become highlighted blue as shown in the image below!)

4. Click on Finder – Edit – Paste (or command+v)

You may need to be logged in as administrator!?

right-click and select "Create Archive of XXXXXXXXX" to create a .zip file.

Based on your directions, I could not get it to work.

It should be:

To select the icon you wish to use:

1. DOUBLE-Click on the icon you wish to use
2. Click on Finder – Edit – Copy (or command+c)

To change the old icon to the new icon:

1. Click on the icon for the application you wish to change
2. Click on Finder – File – Get Info (or command+i)
3. In the Info window, click ONCE on the icon (upper-left corner small icon) you wish to change

(the icon should become highlighted blue as shown in the image below!)

4. Click on Finder – Edit – Paste (or command+v)

If steps 3 & 4 did not work, you may need to be logged in as administrator. Perform step 5 to be able to modify the properties of the file.

5. Within the 'Get Info' properties, under 'Ownership and Permissions', click the drop-down delta symbol for 'Details'. If it states 'system' you must change the property to whatever profile you are logged in as. To do so, click the lock beside this property to unlock it.

6. Change the property from 'system' to your current profile name. You will be asked to enter the administrator or profile password. Once this is done, the property will change to your current profile and you can then perform steps 3 & 4.

NOte: DO NOT FORGET TO CHANGE THE OWNERSHIP BACK TO 'SYSTEM' BEFORE RUNNING SSL!!!

i can't seem to make their bacgrounds transparent

DJ Gaffle... Perfect! I was wondering why it wasn't working on mine. Thanks for the heads up! :)

Thanks DJ Gaffle! I really am a new to Mac ;) Please have patience with me!

I have created a version 2 of the icon-set. It has icons for Beta versions of SSL which you may want to treat as unstable! These ICNS-files should work a little bit better. Just let me know if not!

Custom SSL icons (Mac OS X) v.2

The installation procedure should be as posted above by DJ Gaffle^

Thanks 2 U! I have been doing a little experimentation and now, I'm converting some of my favorite .jpg's into icon files.

I changed my Serato Icon to Lauren London (ATL movie). I've got my firefox browser as Ashanti :-D

I'm happy for you man ;)

And for the windows users amongst us, I have taken the liberty of converting dj dawn's awesome icon set to ico format for PC users (Windows)

That preview link says the picture has been deactivated.

If you mean my link, sorry... forgot about my hotlink protection... fixed now anyways :)

^^ Not your link AmphetaMarinE... Dawn's links are all broken for some reason.

This forum really needs an edit feature so you can change your posts! The links on the first post are not active anymore!

this is sick thanks bro

you're welcome man!

DJ Dawn... These ico files aren't working. The extension format says "Windows Icon Image". No icon shows up in my dock.

^^ Nevermind. Resolved.

Nice to hear :)

The icons is produced from PNG files without backgrounds so they should appear with a transparent background! What kind of background do you see? White, Black or something else? Have you tried to use all of the different icons?

Remember that you need administrator rights to change the icon of an app! DJ Gaffle posted this excellent guide that have worked for everyone so far!

I have the same issue as SG

SG, I found a solution.

This app here, cocoathumbX does the trick. Very good, solid app.

I can't understand why you experience problems! Please let me know if I can make any changes to the icons and make them work better!
