Can I change folder icons on my 5s?

What folders? If you mean the folders you can create to organise apps, then no, those icons are automatically generated from the icons of the apps inside the folder.

[Solved] I can't change folder icons in my home folder (XFCE)

AwOken icons
Hello,
I am currently using the AwOken icon set, which I downloaded on deviantart.com.
So... I'd like the typical folders
Pictures
Videos
Music
Documents
etc.
to use the corresponding icons from, well, acutally any icon set I am using. But when I right-click on any folder, I can't change the Icon (second tab). Am I doing it wrong or is that a bug?
edit
So I tested it with a lot of other default XFCE themes and themes from the AUR (Greybird, Albatross and so forth). I can't change any icon. That's too bad, I have no clue whatsoever what the problem is, I was hoping I could change the bookmarks' icons in Thunar's sidebar as well.

Wohoo, that worked. Thanks

Can't change folder icon

I pasted a gif on the get info of a folder icn and instead of the selected image all that shows is generic GIF document icon.
Now I cant revert or change it to anything other.
Have tried two icon editing programs to no avail?

Very strange! I poked and prodded and checked this 'n that, but no luck. If you are really determined it looks like the only thing you can do is create a new folder on your Desktop, paste the icon you want on the new Developer folder, then move the contents of the original into your folder (you'll have to authenticate to do this), and when you have got everything out of the unchangeable folder, move your replacement to the root level of the drive. Say yes you want to replace the older item with the newer one. Of course, the permissions are owner you, group staff instead of system and admin. Don't know that it matters, but you could correct them if you wanted.

How can i change the icon in the top left of a jdialog

how can i change the icon in the top left of a jdialog.
thnkx in advance

You cannot directly. If you have a jFrame (e.g.) with your own icon you can use one of the JDialog costructors using (Component owner, ... ). Then the dialog will display the same icon.

HT2493 Can I change the icon of one of the operating systems folder?

Specifically, I would like to change the icon of the alias to 'mobile documents' folder that is currently sitting on my desktop. I have tried using the standard recipe to change the icon of pulling up the command I window and pasting over the icon in the northwest corner. My result is always a generic icon for a JPEG, PNG, ICO etc.

You need to paste an image, not the icon from an image file.

Can Tree's folder icon node changed to different icon?

Hi,
Currently, the tree and tree table node's icon is a "folder" icon. Can this be customized to different icons? We would like to have different icons for the nodes for different level in the tree/tree table. For example, level 1's node is icon A; level 2's node is icon B, etc...
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
-Mina

Hi,
I think the right way of doingthis indeed is skinning. I would try to
- set a styleClass value to the styleClass property using EL against a managed bean method.
- The managed bean method now is called for each node. Use EL in the managed bea method to access the #{node} EL to determine the row you are on
- set the style class to e.g. level1, level2, level3
- Then in the skinning you use
level1 af|tree...{}
level2 af|tree...{}
To define the different icons for the tree levels. Note that using DAF all icons are using folders. So there is no sense in skinning leaf icons

Changing folder icons issue

I'm suddenly having a problem in snow leopard (mac os x 10.6.8) that I haven't had before in older versions. When I use copy and paste to change a folder's icon, the folder then contains an 'icon exec' file that I do not want there. If I trash it, the icon on the folder gets trashed as well. Anyone know how I can change the icon without having to now include that 'icon exec' file in the folder? Thanks.

Just rebooted into 10.6.8 to see if its behavior was any different than 10.7.2, which I now use most of the time.
No change - in Lion or Snow Leopard, when I added a custom icon to a folder, an invisible file was added to the folder's contents. This file is named just "icon" with no extension, and does not display the exec icon - it displays the generic blank page with turned-down-corner icon. I used FileBuddy to do the looking, since invisibles are visible to it.
The icon I used as a source was one derived from a JPEG image. I opened the image in Preview, did a Command-A (select all) to select the entire image, then Command-C (copy) to place it on the clipboard, then did a Get Info on the folder's icon and pasted (Command-V) the image onto the icon in the upper left.
Perhaps the difference stems from the nature of the source image you are using?

Change folder icons in Acrobat X Portfolios?

Will I be able to change foder icons an an Acrobat X portfolio? Other file icons too?

Yes and no. Adobe has an SDK for creating custom portfolios (which would include creating folder icons). Information can be found here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/portfoliosdk/ However, this requires additional tools to accomplish (ie Flash Builder).
If the changes you want to make are fairly minimal (e.g. changing the color, size, etc) you could always try entering a feature request.

How can I change the icon for incoming messages on iChat?

I already changed the icon for the ichat app, but whenever i get a new message it reverts back to the original icon with a number on the corner. I have an icon for the alternating messages i just don't know how to change it. HELP?!

Hi,
It's a long time since I changed an Icon on anything on my computer.
The icon for the App is stored in the App and there are two ways to change it.
You can do a Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) on the app itself and then Paste a new icon to the top field.
The other way is to edit/change the icns file in the App itself.
Right/Control Click the app and choose Show Package Contents.
Open the Contents folder then Resources and the iChat.icns file is in there
I am presuming that if you use the first method - the bit that puts the Red area with the number in it uses something else (possibly the icns file)
I cannot find any "supply" of the red numbers. In fact I use Chax (An iChat Add-On) that changes this to the first part of the first IM that is not read - which suggests the red area is the important bit.
If you do try to edit the .icns file I would save the Original first.

Adobe Portfolio - Changing Folder Icon

Using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9
Is there any way to use a customized graphic/jpg for the Folders icon?
When I have my portfolio grouped in folders, I want to be able to visually show something about that folder (insert JPG), not just a picture of a folder...

Here's another discussion:
http://bbs.applescript.net/viewtopic.php?id=10591
This discussion sets forth two approaches, and I have made both of them work in their own way. So my question is more or less answered -- more or less, because the approach that is most satisfactory is the one that you outline in that discussion, but it seems only able to set a custom icon to a new folder ("Target").
Please enlighten me if I'm missing something, but is there a way of making the "target" folder a pre-existing folder with another custom icon? What I really want to do is to change a folder icon, not create a new folder with a custom icon.
What's so frustrating is that I can open two folders with different custom icons and drag their invisible icon files back and forth (changing the icons), but I haven't found a way to do that with a script.
Thanks very much for your help.

Change Folder Icon in Functions Palette

Hey, have two questions. I'm writing an instrument driver for an instrument I have here at work, and I have the VI's working. I have the VIs organized and inserted into a library, which is in a project including that library and an examples folder (so basically the way Labview downloaded instrument drivers are set up). I put all this in the instr.lib folder, and the VIs show up in the functions palette just fine. So, based on that setup, my questions are:
1) How do I change the folder icons (not the VI Icons - already did that) in the functions palette?
2) How do LV instrument drivers hide the "Examples" folder and simply display the VIs from the "Public" Folder? (they don't appear to be marked private)
Thanks!

I think the secret is in having an mnu file, which defines what will appear in the palettes. You can create one by editing the palettes (under Tools>>Advanced) and there you should be able to remove items and to edit the palette icon by right clicking it. You should probably also make sure that the mnu file is saved in the same folder, so that you can have it in other PCs. Note that the palette editor has this annoying confirmation dialog which tends to hide under other windows and which you need to get to finish editing, so move it to somewhere you can find it before you start editing.
Another option is using VIPM to install the driver, and that will also allow you to edit a palette.

Possible to change folder icon using app.system()? [PC/mac]

I need help to verify if this works smoothly.
... If it is even possible...
#target bridge;
if ( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
     if ( Folder.fs == "Macintosh" ) {
          iconPath = new File("/someplace/MyIcon.icns");
          var myFolder = new Folder("/someplace");
          // select my folder and tell OSX to change the icon to MyIcon.icns
          app.system("mac command lines");
     } else if ( Folder.fs == "Windows" ) {
          iconPath = new File("/someplace/MyIcon.ico");
          myFolder = new Folder("/someplace");
          // select my folder and tell OSX to change the icon to MyIcon.ico
          app.system("command code"); // for windows7
     } else {
          alert ("Unsupported file system");

var f=new File(app.document.presentationPath + "/desktop.ini");
f.open('w');
f.encoding = "UTF8";
f.writeln("[.ShellClassInfo]");
// I have chosen one icon of windows7, but you can design and create your own icon, export it to .ico and add it here, for ex: f.writeln("IconResource=c:\\Users\\Public\\myIcons\\myicon.ico");
f.writeln("IconResource=%windir%\\system32\\imageres.dll,101"); // if using dll of windows, a 2nd argument is needed to set the number of the icon (there are several possible dll libraries with hundreds of icons)
f.writeln("[ViewState]");
f.writeln("Mode=");
f.writeln("Vid=");
f.writeln("FolderType=Pictures");
f.close();
.hidden=true;
var cmd = "attrib +s \"" + decodeURI(app.document.presentationPath) + "\"";
app.system(cmd);
// go to the parent folder to refresh and come back again:
var back = app.document.thumbnail.uri;
app.document.thumbnail = app.document.thumbnail.parent;
app.document.thumbnail.refresh();
app.document.thumbnail = new Thumbnail(back);

Can I change Folder or path for Creative Cloud Files?

Hi All,
how can I change the path / folder?
I don´t have enough space on C: : )

Hi @amia,
Yes, you can change the location of the "Creative Cloud Files" folder on your desktop computer. In the CC desktop app, select the Settings icon (gear icon in upper right), then the "Preferences..." menu option. Click the Files tab and you'll see the "Folder Location" option.
Hopefully this works for you.
Thanks,

Project published to Mobile Me Gallery, can I change the icon image?

I there a way to pick a "key frame" for an iMovie projec I have published to Mobile Me in the same way one can pick a "key photo" for a photo gallery published to Mobile Me? For example, I'd like to like those that visit my Mobile Me gallery to see the name of the fictitious movie from my movie trailers as the icon, rather than a random frame from the trailer itself. I've been hunting around, but i can't seem to find a way to do this, Thanks.

Hi there
Well, this is a yes and no answer.
Yes, you could change an icon, But no, RoboHelp won't make it easy. What you will end up doing is massaging the JavaScript code for the WebHelp output. This particular change isn't really for the faint of heart. Oh, and you would likely have to change it each time you generate your WebHelp output.
I would encourage you (and others) to consider submitting a Wish Form to ask Adobe to put this on their radar for a future version.

Can i change photos icon

Do you mean an app icon? If you uploaded your first binary and then you made revisions to the app and changed the icon within the binary then the new icon will not change?
