Change System Icons

If you need to change some system icons (Finder, Trash, Folders, etc...) use this program, (the previous post on changing icons only works for applications). It's free and seems to work pretty well.

LiteIcon

You just drag and drop the new icons onto the icons that you want to replace and then "Apply Changes" and then "Relaunch Finder"

Change Application Icons

Getting a new icon for an application on your Leopard Mac is simple.

Go to your applications folder

Find the application that you want to edit

Ctrl+Click on the application and select "Get Info"

Open the new icon and select the whole image "Edit->Select All"

Copy the new icon

Click on the original application icon and paste

There you go. If this program is in your Dock then after you replace the icon, you'll have to quit the program, remove it from your Dock and then add it back into your dock.

If you want to find new icons go to Interfacelift.com

2D Dock in Leopard

In the Terminal type:

"defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES"
"killall Dock"

That's all there is to it.

To reverse it (go back to 3D) do the same thing except replace "YES" with "NO"
