Can't change icons in kde4.1

I've used kde4 for a long time,and get tired of the default oxygen icons.I install other icon themes but none of them works well.I mean,yes,the application icons changes,but the folder icon NEVER change.I know that kde4's "folder" icons is in the folder "places" instead of "filesystems",i've tried to rename the folder"filesystems" to "places",and edit the index.theme file,nothing change.Somebody know what should i do?Thanks.

This should also work if you want to use non-standard locations. By the way I'm not sure about this, but I don't think you'll see the changes immediately just by changing the comments and closing pcman.

Lumia 900 - Updated to 7.8 - can't change icon siz...

After updating my Lumia 900 phone to 7.8, I don't see the second icon in the lower right to change the size of the icons? Am I missing a setting or something? I click and hold down an icon, but I only see the unpin icon in the top right.
Thanks in advance.

Your Nokia Lumia 900 was updated to 7.5 CR3 (Tango). The 7.8 update has not yet been released. It is still under development and destined for release later this year.
You can check your version number under Settings > About.
Hope this helps.

Can't change icon's theme on my kde 11.3 panel

Hi folks. I set AG-Plasma Icon for my panel but apper icon, the digital clock and the little button that shows hidden icons are stucked on the previous theme... This pic should explain quite well the problem. I've already empty /var/tmp/kdecache-myname/ but still doesn't work.. and I haven't anymore ideas..
and... Is it possible showing awoken icons on the kde panel instead of AG-plasma ones? If yes, how?

Yes. The theme changes that way but not the icons. I have a theme installed with gnome-art-ng and I also changed theme your way but when trying to do that with an icon-theme doesn't change anything. How can I do it in a way that creates a log or some kind of output?
I have tried with 4 or 5 different iconthemes. No difference.

How can I change icons for saved links

I have a number of links on my Bookmarks Toolbar for quick access. Each of them used to have an icon associated with it, but now one icon is missing. The link still works OK, so it's just a matter of not being able to spot it quickly with the icon.
How can I tell FF what icon to use for a link?
I can't do it on the toolbar or in the properties function for any link. I thought I used to be able to change it at will.

You can do that with the Bookmark Favicon Changer add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-favicon-changer

Hi, I downloaded few xfwm, cursor and icon themes and they all work except icon...
I followed steps at http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/install_new_themes and Arch Wiki but that's not solution when case are icon themes...

Pls remove thread ;D

Which particular icon themes did not work and what exactly did you do? Maybe if they were not properly packaged or there was an error on the extraction the folders are messed up and so xfce settings manager can't see the theme.

Can I change icons in different accounts?

By this I mean is it possible to have the Hard drive be one icon in one account and another Icon in another account? I am trying to set up one computer for my 2 kids and am trying to make it a bit fun and personalized for them. I should state this is for the mini running 10.4.11

When in their account, select the hard drive, choose Make Alias from the File menu, change the alias's icon, and hide the hard drive from the General section of the Finder's preferences.

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.

Since Mavericks Update, changing icons just displays generic thumbnail

Since I updated to Mavericks, I can't change icons without the icon just changing to a generic PNG or JPEG thumbnail (see attached picture).
Steps I'm following-
CMD + I on the icon I want to change.
Copy picture (PNG or JPEG) to clipboard
Select icon in upper left-hand corner of info page and choose Paste or hit CMD + V
Has anyone else experienced this? Interestingly, any custom icons I created in Mountain Lion continue to work as they did.

I am also using the latest version of Mavericks and funny thing, I was having this problem today installing a new Time Machine disk and I wanted to change the icon. No matter what I tried, the icon image would only show (in the get info pane) as a "PNG" or TIFF or what ever format the picture came in.
I do not know if it was dumb luck but I took the picture (Ironman Teseract) and opened the JPEG in Photoshop CS6. I then cropped it the way I wanted and saved it to the desktop. During the save, PS asked me if I wanted to save the embedded color profile or use Photoshops. I choose Photoshops and saved it.
I grabbed the icon picture and dragged it onto the picture of the TM drive in it's "get info" pane. It worked.

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

Anyone?

Next time you accidentally use 3 fingers it will zoom again. Unless you need the feature you're better to turn it off

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 (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.
