Macgasm: Change any icon (mostly) that you want in Leopard

  • 4fthawaiian · 1 year ago
    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).

    pic2icon is much easier

    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    That software is a TAD out of date though.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.
