Custom Icon problem

I had a friend make me a Custom Icon of an Apple and a custom Firefox logo blended together and i wanted to use it to show as my Firefox App Icon.
I went to get info on the FFox App. and  made the exsisting  Logo area turn BLUE as in selecting it and dragged the new 256x256 icon to that area. The icon went in ( the Green Plus was showing )  and when I checked it was an Icon of  PREVIEW's  Icon now I can't get rid of it. I even took the new icon and put it in the FFox  Resourses folder and named it  firefox.incs, re-named the old one by just addig a 1 to it's name. Then I re-booted and still the same old PREVIEW's icon is still there . How can I get the Icon I want to go there ? I even used Candybar icon changer. I need HELP with this PLEASE, it's driving me nuts. OH Yeah, I'm useing Snow Leopard 10.6.7 on a MBP laptop.

Hi, Mike -
Instead of dragging the icon you want to the icon box in Get Info, use Copy/Paste.
First copy the new icon to the clipboard:
• if it's already an icon for a doc or folder, do a Get Info on that, click the icon in the Get Info window (at the top, not in the Preview section) to select it, then select Copy from the Edit menu (or press Command-C).
• if it is in an image file, open that file and select the image, then select Copy from the Edit menu (or press Command-C).
Then do a Get Info on FireFox, click the icon in the upper part of the window to select it, then select Paste from the Edit menu (or press Command-V).

  • Problem with custom icon on toolbar (iPhone Beta 6 SDK)

    I created two custom icons, using transparency so they are white lines on a transparent background, to add to a toolbar at the bottom of the screen.
    toolbar.barStyle = UIBarStyleDefault;
    UIBarButtonItem *theItem = [[[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"MyImage.png"] style:UIBarButtonItemStylePlain target:self action:@selector(theAction:)] autorelease];
    On the simulator, this shows properly a white icon on the grayish toolbar. On the device itself, it shows a white box the size of the icon. It still works.

    Problem persists in Beta 7. However a workaround (which might have worked in Beta 6, I don't know) is this: use GIF files with transparency, rather than PNG files with transparency. These display properly on both simulator and device.

  • Embedded Tab Custom Icon (Picture Problem)

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue getting my custom icon url picture to show up correctly. I resized using paint 20x20, even tried 19x19 and saved in png format. Jabber downloads the picture but it's tall and narrow. I can barely make out the picture. I read something about adding padding but have no clue what that means. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    something similar was discussed in the following link;
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11590996/icons-custom-embedded-tabs-jabber-windows
    look at the last reply where the following was mentioned;
    Any image editor can be used to create icon. Foe example use online editor pixlr (http://pixlr.com/editor/).
    Create 20x20 image for every state (Normal, Pressed, Hover e.t.c) of your icon.
    Create a new 200x20 image
    Add the different state images to this image as layers
    Save the image as .png
    i hope this helps.

  • Disk First Aid - Problem: Custom icon missing

    Hi
    Wonder if anyone can help me - my mac kept quitting out of printing photos to my Epson R300 and then froze. I didn't let it self repair once restarted but left it to do it today manually. I set Disk First Aid going and it came up with about 30 "Custom icon missing" alerts and when I asked it to repair it couldn't repair them.
    Anyone know what's happened there and how to fix it?
    I've noticed that the mac has been quitting out of programmes a lot lately but without the 'this spllication has unexpectedly quit' alert. I haven't added any new software or hardware lately either.
    Many thanks!

    Vicky,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    Fortunately, the Custom Icon issue will have no impact on the general reliability of your mac.
    As a bit of background, one of the special attributes that can be applied to a file or folder (like modification date, or label, or comments, or the FileType and Creator - so a document knows which app it is associated with when you double click it) is this "Custom Icon" setting.
    So you have 30 files / folders that have been marked as having a custom icon. But when it goes to get the custom icon to display the file / folder in the Finder, it can't find it. You usually just end up with a generic icon for the file / folder. It offers no extra functionality other than displaying a pretty icon in the Finder. Similarly, when it doesn't work, you lose no functionality, other than that.
    The applications quiting unexpectedly could be an issue, but issues with printing colour photos to a printer may be memory issues. Colour photos, perhaps .jpg, are compressed. As your printer doesn't have built-in decompression software, the pictures must be decompressed on the Mac before sending to the printer. And there is the issue, if this requires too much memory, your mac can do strange things.
    Is printing from OSX any better ? I would have thought a G4 iMac with Panther would be a dream to work on.

  • Custom icons 'unclickable' in icon view & not shown in coverflow

    Hi,
    I just got off the line with Apple support, who couldn't solve my problem and then just told me that Leopard didn't support what I was doeing and thus that it was not there problem. Very un-apple if you ask me...
    Here's the problem:
    I create custom icons for my movies by pasting images (Jpeg's or what have you) onto the icon in the 'Get info' window of a file. This works fine, however when I view the files in icon view I can't select the file by clicking on the icon, only by clicking on the text below. Strangly enough this problem dissapears when I edit the icon size in the 'View options' to a size equal too or smaller then 116x116. At this point I can select the file without any problem.
    The same sort of happens in coverflow. Here I can't see the icon in coverflow if the icons are fairly large. Once I reduce the size of the coverflow bar too the point where the icons are very small the custom icons reappear.
    The make the matter even more strange this problem only occurs with files where I created a custom icon for since I had Leopard installed. All custon icons created under 10.4 work fine.
    This indicates too me that Leopard has problem with handeling the resolution of icons.
    Note also that Leopard stores icon images in different sizes. Try copying an icon image from the 'Get info' window, then launch Preview, then select 'File' and 'New from Clipboard'. You will see that there are multiple images here.
    Anybody know how to solve this?

    Getting the same stupid behavior here!
    I had a lot of customized Tiger folder icons but now i've got no good tools for customizing these new huge Leopard ones.
    I began using *Icon Composer* from the developer tools after doing the graphics in Photoshop, then using IconDroplet to get them into a form where i can copy and paste them between *Get Info* windows. What a pain.
    Now i discover this bit where they're not clickable once i replace them! I didn't know about the behaviors when making them big in *Cover Flow* and small in Icon view until i read this.
    I've been snooping around but i haven't found what needs to be tweaked where to allow them to behave properly.

  • How to assign file extension and custom icon to executable?

    Hi all,
    I was reading an old thread about this issue:
    http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&thread.id=116925 
    I need to try to do this.  My application uses a custom file extension (i.e. .abc).  Upon installation I would like to:
    1.  Assign My App and custom icon to the file class (extension .abc).
    This could be done by manipluting the registry (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776856(VS.85).aspx)?  This could be a problem with Vista s unless registry operations occur during installation any changes are placed in a VirtualStore, correct?
    2.  Enable the double-clicking of .abc file type to pass the data in the file to my VI (exe). 
    According to the File Handling Guidelines of Jean-Pierre Drolet (http://www.openg.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=File+Handling+Guidelines) the best way to do this may be using LabVIEW as an ActiveX server.
    I know that when I build an executable (or installer?) there is the option to enable LabVIEW to act as an ActiveX server.  This much I know I need to do.
    I thought I would open this discussion again as others may be interested and there doesn't appear to be a completely clear solution available.  Please do contribute where you can.
    Cheers,
    Battler.

    This needs to work (the files need to open) not only when the application is closed but also when it's already open.
    Anyone have ideas? 
    The solution to that is to implement a DDE server in your application (and add DDE entries to the registry on installation). There are still DDE functions in LabVIEW vi.lib\Platform\dde.llb but they are considered depreciated and have been removed from the palette, also because Microsoft is trying to tell everyone that DDE is depreciated and sort of unsupported too. But it is still the mechanisme to pass actions from the shell to running applications.
    I hesitate to send you over to lavag.org where there have been some discussions about this years ago. If you go there you would do good to employ a friendly attitude. That board is run all by enthusiasts and idealists and they are all great folks but react not very friendly to people with an attitude.

  • Mystery of the Disappearing Custom Icons

    iMac 2.66; 10.6.4
    I create simple custom icon labels for the docs & folders in my dock. I type a filename in TextEdit, take a screenshot of it, open the screenshot in GraphicConverter, and copy & paste it into the getinfo window of the doc or folder. Then I drag it to the dock. Now and then, with no pattern or seeming cause, the custom icons on one or more disappear. Some never disappear. Sometimes it'll be weeks with no problem, sometimes hours. I repair permissions twice a week without fail. I have no other issues going on. Anyone know why this is happening? I've searched the fora but can't find similar problems.

  • Trouble with some documents: no custom icon, only generic appears

    I tried anything: rebuilt launch servcice, permission repair, daily, weekly, monthly scripts (using maintanace, onyx, etc...) BUT all the documents associated with Openoffice have no custom icon. I also tried reinstalling oo with no success. It happens with textedit and keynote (using "get info", open with, apply to all) and don't know why?
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks!

    You could create a new admin user and move the data within each of these folders to the corresponding folder on the new account: Desktop, Documents. Library, Movies, Music, etc. You can di it most easily IMO, by copying your Home folder to DVD first. Alternatively, you could use Users/Shared for the data.
    But it would really be best to sort this issue in your present user.
    It would be a good idea to test with a new user though to see if the problem exists there.
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your OO & TE work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

  • Custom icon lost from dock when clicked.

    Hello.
    I'm currently running OS 10.6.1 on 15" MBP w/ 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I experienced this same issue in Leopard, but was hoping Snow Leopard would fix it. I thought it did, but it just happened again.
    I keep several documents in the dock that I use very frequently (three MS Excel workbooks, 1 FM Pro database). For some reason, when I click on any of the Excel docs, the custom icon I have assigned to it is lost. Even when I reveal in Finder, the icon has just been removed, and the standard Excel icon shows.
    The funny thing is that the custom icons, when replaced, seem to last for several clicks, then for some reason, they just go away when the doc is clicked.
    Has anyone experienced this issue? Any help would be awesome.

    Hi eye sean,
    The program icons on your Dock (App Store, System Preferences) are alias links (shortcuts) and not the programs themselves. You can't delete them by removing them from the Dock. Now, if somehow they were accidentally removed from the /Applications folder then that's a bigger issue. I take it neither of the programs or in that folder?
    If that's the case there's two things I'm aware of worth trying:
    Run a repair Disk Permissions from the installation disc that came with your computer
    Reinstall the Operating System via the installation disc
    If System Preferences (the application) is completely gone, then it's option #2. If it's corrupted the disk permissions may resolved it. I'd say you could make a new user to see if a preference pane that's specific to your current user is causing problems, but without System Preferences access that's not really a valid option.

  • Custom icon reverts to standard Pages document icon...

    I'm having trouble with permanently assigning custom icons to Pages '08 documents.
    Say I've got a document, I'll create an icon, set the icon via the info panel, everything is fine. The next time I click on the document with the new icon, the document opens and the custom icon disappears, reverting to the stock Pages icon.
    This doesn't seem to be a problem with any other documents or folders from other programs, just Pages '08.
    But I'm thinking this is more likely an OS issue than a Pages issue.
    Thanks

    For some reason, the custom icon is deleted. (Bet that comes as a shock.) I have an old version but it is apparently no different. Essentially a Pages document is a folder that Finder treats like a single file:
    ls -a test.pages/
    ./ .typeAttributes.dict index.xml.gz
    ../ Contents/ thumbs/
    When you add a custom icon, a file is added to the folder:
    ./ .typeAttributes.dict Icon? thumbs/
    ../ Contents/ index.xml.gz
    When Pages backs up the document it includes the custom icon in the document:
    ls -a Backup\ of\ test.pages/
    ./ .typeAttributes.dict Icon? thumbs/
    ../ Contents/ index.xml.gz
    But it disappears from the original:
    ls -a test.pages/
    ./ .typeAttributes.dict index.xml.gz
    ../ Contents/ thumbs/
    (So next time, it disappears from the backup, too.)
    It almost looks as though Pages renames the original document to create the backup and then creates a new "original" but this isn't correct because the filenode numbers stay the same on the original. So I don't know what causes it but it seems to be something peculiar to Pages so I'm not sure how it could be avoided except by not using Pages or not giving Pages documents custom icons.

  • Custom Icon/Marke​r on XY Plot

    Hello,
         I have an XY plot in which shows the intended path and current position of a aircraft.  I have drawn up a picture of what it somewhat looks like and I attached it to this post.  I would like to have a custom icon that will point in the direction the aircraft is flying.  I have the heading, so that data is not a problem, though, I am sure there are other problems that I will run in to.  I've only looked into this a small bit and have come up with quite a few dead ends.  I am now considering going down the ActiveX path, but wanted to get some insight before I dove into that (especially I have not done at ActiveX).  That being said, take a look at my picture, which will better explain what I am looking for.  I show only 4 time quantities, but there will be many more in the final product since it is a real-time application. 
    I have seen this page, http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170​&message.id=379432&query.id=4622127#M379432, but considering it is over a year old, I wanted to check and see if anything has changed.

  • Custom icon for module_webappsresultsmap

    As the title says...
    When you make a search on the Google map, the icon that shows where the place  is, is a standard Google Map icon.
    Is it possible to override and add a custom icon for this?
    It would be nice to have it within the tag...
    ie. {module_webappsresultsmap,GoogleKey,width,height,ResultsPage,SortType,Image}
    Or have the image within the web app so that each location has a different icon.

  • Custom Icon Not Appear in iTune

    I am ready to submit my apps but I am stuck because of one simple problem that I cannot solve.
    When I go through Project > Export Release, the custom icon does not show up in iTune, but they are shown in my iPhone, iPod and iPad
    The default icon appears in the iTune but not the one I designed.
    I have already included the all the different size icons to your build (29, 48, 57, 72, 114, 128 and 512) and see if that solves your problem but this did not solve the problem.
    Please help me!
    Thank you very much.

    Hi,
    I have tried setting 512x512 image in the app.xml and i was able to get the icon image in iTunes.
    If you are using the same icon file in AIR and embedding it to set it dynamically at runtime then you might have an issue. In this case, please create a copy of same image and use it in app.xml file.
    Let me know if this helps.

    So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
    See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
    I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
    then I drag my icon file in
    The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
    If I use Candy bar (icon application)  I get a  different result. The icon works
    in both finder and on the task bar
    This is exactly what I want.
    I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program  I am using BitRock.  When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
