Change My Icons
Every volume, application, file, and folder on your Mac is represented by an icon. Volume icons tend to look like the item that they represent (for example, your hard disk looks like a hard drive, CDs and DVDs look like discs, and removable drives look like removable drives). You can copy practically any item's icon and paste it onto another to change the look of your volumes, files, folders, and applications. We customized our Home folder's folders. Application icons are all generally unique, so they stand out from one another. Folder icons may flaunt a plain blue folder facade or display a little extra decor on the folder icons to help you identify what's inside of them. File icons generally display a document with an application logo that lets you know what application created it or can open it. But you can change these mini works of art to ones of your own choosing or creation. > > Your own photo file icons, such as those from a TIFF or JPEG image, > are great sources to use if you want totally unique icons. > > Just paste your source icon onto the original in the Info window to give it a more unique look. > Here, we're about to replace our hard disk icon with one in tribute to our new OS.
