Can't change Dock Finder Icon

Hello Everyone!!
I was changing my Dock Finder Icon recently, and I want to restore it and also change other icons. Before I do everything. I did a backup of Dock.app. I replaced the finder.png and [email protected] but when I do 'killall dock' in terminal and also a restart it was still my modified icon. Can anyone tell me how to restore the icon? Thanks!

All I can suggest is to peruse https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/xattr.1.html and http://gotofritz.net/blog/geekery/os-http://gotofritz.net/blog/geekery/os-x-exte nded-attibutes/

Using Custom Icons - Changing the Finder Icon

So I know you can just do a simple copy and paste under "get info" in order to change icons for applications and folders, but how do you do this for Finder? I know this is possible, if not for the simplest reason that one of the downloads that Apple has featured on this site for icons has a Finder icon (bad logic I know, but it seems odd that Finder would be the only icon you couldn't change). The problem is, how do you "Get Info" on Finder? Where would you find finder (no pun intended)?
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the help in finding the icon, the only problem is that it won't let me alter it. I even changed permissions on the bottom of the "get info" screen to allow the current user (also the administrator) to both read and write, but it wouldn't let me paste a different styled icon over it. Any suggestions on how to change the Finder icon to a custom one? And ya we were thinking about how we would change it back too, but realized its not really that big of an issue because all our friends and even we have multiple macs, so we could always just copy it back that way.

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't change dock in Standard Account

I promise I looked through this support site first for my answer before posting my question but after ten minutes of looking I got impatient.
I know that in a Standard account users are restricted, and cannot for example change the dock. But how does an administrator make the dock how it should be (for students) and then turn on the restrictions so that the students cannot change how the teacher made it? I first tried to make the account an admin account and changed the icons while logged in, then logged out (and logged in as a separate admin) and changed the student account to Standard. Logged in as student but the dock didn't save what I changed, it went to a default dock that I cannot change!

TinkerTool or OnyX I think can lock the Dock.

How can I change a user icon position?

How can I change the position that Yosemite determines for where a user icon is positioned on the login screen? I'm the admin and I added a standard user and the icon placement for that user is first, I'm second, and Guest User is third...it does not appear to be alphabetical. I'd like to switch the first two so my user icon is the first one on the left.

Locate a folder icon you wish to use. Select it and press COMMAND-C to copy. Select the folder you want changed. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the top left you will see that folder's icon. Click on it then press COMMAND-V to paste.
If you want to create your own icons then you will need an application to do that. For example, Folder Icon Changer 3.0.7.
Google searches will locste tons of pre-made folder icons you csn use. Some are free and some are not.

How can i change the default icon of a new folder?

why not? use LiteIcon then. it's free and is MUCH safer than mucking with system files by hand. if you insist you can do it as follows. go to /system/library/coreservices. control-click on coretypes.bundle and select "show package contents". go to contents-> resources. change the file GenericFolderIcon.icns with your own .icns file. back up the original bundle first.

Can you change where an icon will appear on the stage?

I'm using A/ware 6. I'm using DISPLAYICON to make an icon
appear. Is it possible to change where the icon's content appears?
Is there a way of requesting an icon's content appear at a specific
X/Y location on the stage rather than where it is located in the
icon? Thanks

Create 2 variables - ImageX and ImageY.
Open your Display icon, and set it's Positioning field to On
Screen.
Type ImageX in the X location. ImageY in the Y location.
You can now set the variables in your code, at any point
before you display
your icon. The icon will appear in the position specified by
your variables.

How can I change/delete the icons on the Buttons from JUNavigationBar?

Hi,
does someone know how I can change/delete the Icons used by the Buttons on the JUNavigationBar?
Any Idea?
THX
Peter Zerwes

To change the icons, you could call navbar's setButtonIcon method like:
navbar.setButtonIcon(EXECUTE_BUTTON, myIcon);
To remove/hide a button group you could call one of the
setHas...Button methods (setHasInsertButton, setHasDeleteButton, setHasTransactionButtons, setHasFindButton...) THX Sathish, but my problem is that i want to use the Buttons without the Icons!!
Any Idea?

Can't change Adobe CS5 icon in Mavericks

Hi guys!
Yes I understand the information:
1. Candy Bar does not really work in Mavericks now. Got it.
2. LiteIcon works pretty darn well.
3. Manually themeing icons is not that hard
4. I can't change icons of apps installed from MacAppStore.
with that being said:
Its been a real issue changing Adobe's CS5 in Mavericks. If anyone could help me out with locations and file names that would be awesome. I've gone into the .app and messed around but can't get anything to change.
thanks!
tim

Ok - apparently I replaced the xxx.app .icns file with a .png instead of a .icns.
sorry!
hahahaha.

How can I change the find function so that it "IS" shared between tabs?

In the notes about what changed in Firefox 25 is this: "The find bar is no longer shared between tabs." I use the find function all day every day and absolutely need the find bar "to be shared" between tabs. How can I change the function back to how it worked before?
This new change in version 25 will cost me hours of search time everyday.

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. (You'll need to be on the latest version of Firefox to submit feedback). Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.

Can I change the Firefox icon permanently?

I've been trying to change the Firefox/Nightly icons to a custom icon that will show in the taskbar. I've tried using resource hacker to fix it, but after I restart my computer or wait long enough the changes will disappear and the icons will go back to normal.
The icon for the firefox.exe in the programs will change to the icons I want once I use resource hacker, but when I turn my computer back on they go back to the default ones. Is there a way to change the icon "permanently" and still be able to change it back when I want it back?
Thanks.

Change it as you would any taskbar icon:
# Right-click the Nightly icon on the taskbar.
# In the menu that pops up, right-click Nightly and choose Properties.
# In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
# Click the Change Icon button, select your custom icon and click the OK button.
# Click the OK button to close the Properties window.
# If Nightly is currently running, you'll may need to exit and restart it for the change to take effect.
There's a way to change the application icon in Firefox, but it won't affect much. If you've already done the above, then in current versions of Windows it'll probably only affect the icon shown in the Alt+Tab application switcher.
Name your icon ''main-window.ico'' and place it in the following folder. The folder doesn't exist by default and must be created manually.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nightly\browser\chrome\icons\default
Don't tamper with any Firefox installation files, the executable in particular.

Can I stop the Finder icons from changing size while I use the Trackpad?

Very frustrating:
Often when I touch my trackpad and I'm in finder the icons/folders get very small! Have to go back to "Finder" then "View" amd "show view options" to reset them to 48x48.
Is there a way to lock the change of their sizes (but still use the trackpad for touch sensitive stuff)?

System Preferences>Trackpad. Uncheck Pinch to Open and Close.
