Can I replace "spring" url icons in the dock w/ custom ones?

Hi,
I have a program (IconBox) that I can replace icons with on my iMac and I just got a set of cool icons of those little springs--all in different colors and stuff. I would like to stick some of those colored icons on the little spring url icons in my dock...but as you are aware I'm sure...those icons are like "virtual". They don't exist in my files like all the other icons do (as far as I know)...they are only in the dock.
And yet...I have installed programs that had little colored spring url's in the pkg. and they did indeed go into the dock--colors intact. So...I'm pretty sure it CAN be done (somehow...hehe!).
So...if anybody knows if, and how, it can be done...please tell me. I would appreciate it a lot.
Thanx.

No. That didn't work.
But it gave me an idea...
I knew that if you dragged the url to the desktop instead of the dock...it would make a little dog-earred piece of paper icon instead of the spring. I replaced that piece-of-paper with the colored spring, and then dragged it to the dock...and it works!
So thanx very much! I wouldn't have thought of that w/o you.

  • Can I create two mail icons in the dock for two separate accounts?

    I'm trying to set up two mail icons in the dock - one for my wife's e-mail, one for me - all under the administrator iMac log in. I'm trying to do this without her having to have a separate mac log in. Is this possible? If so, how do I duplicate the postage stamp mail icon and capability?

    If there are two users on one Mac, the best approach is to have two user accounts, one for you and one for your wife.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
    The new user account will appear to be a whole different Mac, and she can set it up to her liking (different mouse settings, desktop background, Dock appearance, etc.) without affecting anything in your user account. If you enable Fast User Switching, both users can be logged in at the same time, and switch using the right corner of the Menu Bar.
    With separate accounts, each persons instance of Mail will be their own and go to their email account.

  • HT2450 url icons in the dock

    I think it would be great if we could link web apps directly in the app section of the dock, instead of being only able to move them to the bottom part of the dock (trash part..)

    Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and paste in the following:
    open location "http://www.apple.com/" --any URL works here
    Save it as an application and drag it to the Dock.

  • I can not open any of the icons on the dock

    I can not open up any icons on the dock, I just upgraded to Leopard. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
    Follow these steps to force an app to close:
    From the Home screen, click the Home button twice. 
    Tap and hold on the app. 
    When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on by one until all cleared
    Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
    Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, try your Apps again and see if this resolves the issue.

  • Why can't I add, delete or replace icons in the dock?

    Several icons in the dock have been replaced by question marks. I deleted the question marks, then replaced the application icons in the dock, and they worked. But when I restarted the machine, the question marks reappeared for those applications.
    Even if I try to delete the question marks without replacing the application icons, the question marks reappear on restart.
    Any new applications I try to add to the dock do not appear after a restart either.
    Is the dock broken?

    No just the .plist file for the Dock has been corrupted.
    A bit of a overkill, but the free OnyX under the "Verify" has a Preferences checker, check the "show only corrupted .plist files" and run that.
    Write down all the corrupted .plist files (you might have more) and seek and destroy them, they will be automatically be rebuilt.
    Also it's good to run all the maintenance and cleaning aspects of Onyx once in a blue moon or if your experiencing usual behavior.

  • Can I swop an icon in the Dock?

    Okay, a bit unlikely, but a good icon is a pleasing thing.
    For ages I've used a third party app with a great icon but now I've changed to a new equivalent — it does a better job but has a really bad icon.
    Can I swop icons with Terminal or otherwise modify one?

    Great, baltwo! I'd really like to do this but need a little more help, please.
    For starters, I took a screenshot of the old Dock icon that I want to re-use with Snapz Pro X and got a 70 KB 63 x 65 RGB .tiff image. Then I do as you say, "Select the app, CMD+I, click on the icon," but find I can't paste in the new image.
    Maybe it's this particular app -- the icon I want to replace is for Snapheal and to start it up, one drags an image onto its icon in the dock. So when I try to paste in the new image, the app starts up.
    Thanks . . . fortes

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?

    Message title says it: Can you copy/paste files from the Finder to Mail in Lion, or drag them onto the Mail icon in the Dock to create a new message and attach the files to it?
    I can't find anything in the Knowledge Base that says these two options no longer work or still do.
    I do not have a system capable of running Lion, but I need to know the answer nonetheless.

    Gee, I don't know: "paste attachments mail Lion"? ;-)
    One further question, if I may: in Panther (which is where I've aggregated nearly 7 years of mail), if you copy more than one file in the Finder, switch to Mail, and paste the files into a new message, only the file names paste in. If you copy one file and paste it into a Mail message, you get the file, not just the name. Is that still true, or has that (IMHO) bug been fixed since 10.3.9?

    I have a problem with iphoto (have a mac book pro): the icon in the dock appears with a question mark, and the application is gone!!! Can someone tell what's going on? Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

    Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
    If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
    Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
    Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

  • Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

    Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

    Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
    If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)

    Hi!
    It seems that you are looking to customize the icons in your desktops with the Favicons of an specific site (the small logos next to the URL as you call them).
    I'm not sure if any add-on exists but by default it's not possible to do what you are looking for.
    I hope it help, at least a little bit.
