Changing your Icons in 4 Easy Steps

Posted on 7 April 2007 in Macintosh Tips & Help | 4 Comments »

You may know that there are some applications which make it very easy to use a complete set of icons automaticly:all you have to do is chose the set to use.
But there’s a way to change quickly the icon of an application or a folder.
1) Chose the folder/application you want and pulse Command-i:
You got this ordinary window:
Folder to change
2) Then open the folder where the set of icons is and do the same with the icon to use
(command-i).
3) Now,in the “information” window of the icon,click on the little picture(the red one in the example) and Copy it:
The Copy action
4 )Finally On the “information” window of you folder,select the original appearance(the Green folder in our case) and paste the one you copied in step 3).
That’s it.
InterfaceLift is a great site where you can get a lot of free icons sets and great wallpapers in multiple resolutions!
