Cannot change Icon for dashboard?

Greetings, I have done some research, and I can change all of the other Icons in the the dock except the dashboard icon. I can change it in the applications folder, but I can't drag it into the dock. When I try to do this it uses only the original icon every time. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks.

Grant,
I'm sorry it didn't work, I have a few more suggestions though:
Restart (Worth a try)
Delete the "com.apple.dashboard.client.plist" and "com.apple.dashboard.plist" files from the preferences folder within your user's library.
Re-launch the dock (Sorry but I don't know how to do this. I know it can be done but can't remember how)
That's all I can think of though. Apart from using a program such as Candybar. This may/may-not interest you?
"The dashboard doesn't even appear in the force quit menu?"
I think that this is because it is a part of the dock/finder.

Change icon for file type

how to change icon for all of the tile type? not just one, but all!

Changing the file icon will not enable Quicktime to play Matroska files. Changing the file suffix might.
It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
which may help.
But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
Or this link may be helpful:

Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
"There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
http://www.plexapp.com/
Maybe worth a try?

I have searched Finder, Trash and the applications folder but i can't find where it is kept. I want to put the icon for Dashboard back in the dock - how can i do this?

The combo update may replace anything you have inadvertently deleted.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
You can reapply it over the top of any previously downloaded version. I see that your profile says 10.6.8.
Then software update to pick up any new security, iTunes updates.

Cannot change icon on DVD/CD

Hi all,
I an older G5 Mac, and I cannot change the icon for DVD/CDs that I want to burn. I am using 10.4.5 and when I go to get info on the blank disc, I cannot paste an icon in. I could do this no problems when the machine was running 10.3.9
I have a Quad 2.5 G5 as well and have no problems doing this.
I have tried repairing disk permissions and still cannot do it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Enda

There have been major changes in Finder disk burning in Tiger. It now uses burn folders instead of hidden disk images. The CD icon that appears on the desktop when you insert a blank CD represents the burn folder not the CD and does not behave like a normal disk.

Cannot change shortcut for activating app expose

Hello,
I can't seem to reassign the shortcut key for "Application windows" in exposé. I can change the key in the Exposé preference panel, which has a limited set of keys. But I cannot change it to an arbitrary shortcut (e.g. opt-s) in the keyboard preferences. Could somebody help?
tbontb12345

no, not a lot... and no, I don't download any music or videos... maybe I should just delete all the re download,. what I'm afraid of is that even if I delete all the apps it will anyway keep the same problem, because when I go to "My Apple ID" and click it keeps showing me the other email.... and then I will not be able to use any Aps on my iphone....
anyway, thank you so much for all the help.... and I DID sync with iTunes, but it didn't help, only made it worse.... maybe I will hang myself.... (just joking) going to sleep now and will try out in the morning./// thanks again!!!

Changed Icon for my InputListOfValues

Well my problem is that I want to changed the search icon of my InputListOfValues but just for one!..
Well my css looks like this:
/* definition of the alias*/
.StyleLov1:alias
{-tr-inhibit: background-image;
font-size: 11px;
padding: 1px 3px;
text-decoration: none;
vertical-align: 0%;}
/* referencing the alias in the StyleLov1*/
af|inputListOfValues.StyleLov1::search-icon-style
-tr-rule-ref:selector(".StyleLov1:alias");
/* definition of the alias*/
.StyleLov2_alias
{ content: url("../images/activar.png");}
/* referencing the alias in the StyleLov2*/
af|inputListOfValues.StyleLov2::search-icon
-tr-rule-ref:selector(".StyleLov2:alias");
And in my component looks like this:
<af:inputListOfValues label="Label 1"
popupTitle="Search and Result Dialog"
binding="#{backingBeanScope.backing_lovsample_test.ilov1}"
id="ilov1"
styleClass="StyleLov1 StyleLov2"/>
The first style "StyleLov1" works but the second don't works I don't know what is the error.
Thanks
Edmaral

Thanks now it works fine!!!....but in my general CSS file I define global selectors por InputListOfValues like this:
GLOBAL DEFINITION
af|inputListOfValues::search-icon-style { -tr-inhibit: background-image; padding: 0px 0px; text-decoration: none;vertical-align:-3px; }
af|inputComboboxListOfValues::dynamic-help-icon {content: ‘?’; color: black}
af|inputListOfValues::search-icon {content : url("../images/lovMenuEnabled.png"); position: relative; left: -3px; top: 1px; }
af|inputListOfValues::search-disabled-icon {content: url("../images/lovMenuDisabled.png"); font-weight: bold;}
af|inputListOfValues::search-icon-style:disabled { -tr-inhibit: background-image; padding: 0px 0px; text-decoration: none;vertical-align:-3px; }
DEFINITION FOR SPECIFIC SELECTOR
/* definition of the alias*/
.StyleLov2:alias{ /* notice .StyleLov2:alias instead of .StyleLov2_alias */
background-image: url("../images/activar.png"); /* notice background-image instead of content */
/* referencing the alias in the StyleLov2 */
af|inputListOfValues.StyleLov2::search-icon-style{ /* notice search-icon-style instead of search-icon */
-tr-rule-ref:selector(".StyleLov2:alias");
Changing all icons for this component but I want to change the icon just in one component but the global property is apply for all components. I change the
style class with de name of my selector alias in my component but is not being recognized just recognized the global selector. I dont know how to
inhibit these global properties.
Thanks.....

CANNOT change Icons in the dock or other places like I used to in 10.5.8

I found a nice set of icons that I would like to set to my MBP that I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. So far I really haven't had any real problems that I wasn't able to work through except for this one. I've even opened up the "Info" box and changed the sharing and the permissions and changed them so that as an administrator I could change the icon but no luck! On my G5 tower I have no problem at all using the standard procedure but when I apply it to my laptop it just doesn't want to work. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

I've been playing around with that problem for a bit now: Apple changed it with Leopard and Snow Leopard and it's not as easy as it was with Tiger... but I found a way around it:
When you control click on any of your folders (to the right of the System Prefs icon), you need to have the following checked:
Sort by: Name
Display as: Folder
View content as: List
Having changed icons dozens of times, I found that any other setting will keep your pretty icon within a Finder window, but as soon as move it to the Dock, it'll revert to the stock view.
So, once you choose above settings, go ahead and change an icon on one of your folders and then drag it into the dock. It should work - mine have been there for 2 weeks now.

Cannot change icon UI property on node in hGrid's tree

Hi,
I created region of style hGrid (ID HGridRN).
Under HGridRN I created region of style tree (ID TreeRN).
Under TreeRN I have members and I want to set some dynamic property for nodeDef2 member.
HGridRN
__TreeRN
____members
______nodeDef1
______childNode1
________nodeDef2 <- I want dynamic icon on this node
________childNode2
I try to use next sequence of statements:
OAHGridBean hGridBean = (OAHGridBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("HGridRN");
OAWebBean treeBean = hGridBean.findChildRecursive("TreeRN");
*if (treeBean != null) {*
*..OATreeDefinitionBean nodeDef2 = (OATreeDefinitionBean)treeBean.findChildRecursive("nodeDef2");*
*..nodeDef2.setAttributeValue(ICON_ATTR, new OADataBoundValueViewObject(nodeDef2, "NodeIconAttr", "ComplectVO1"));*
Setting ICON_ATTR attribute doesn't change the icon in hgrid.
If fact I can even write nodeDef2.setRendered(false); but the node still exists in UI.
How to get reference to nodeDef2?

Hi,
It looks like, that yout context node V_HOME.1 has no elements ( = no data ), try to fill your context node by some data ( by supply method for example). Or you can try change cardinality of your V_HOME.1 node to 1..n.

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

Cannot change Icon

I have a MacBook Pro w/ Leopard 10.5.4 using boot camp and running Vista on a second partition on a single drive. I was able to change the icon of my hard drive on the Mac side but I'm unable to rename or change the Vista hard drive icon which resides on the desktop with the Leopard drive icon. Is this something that I'm going to have to live with or is there a way to change the Vista drive icon to reflect what it really is?
Thanks

Glad I could help!
Thanks for the !
Well I tried your suggestion and renamed it in Windows and voila the name changed to what I named it. Thank you for the solution to 1/2 my problem. I will now chase down the link you gave me to change the icon.
Ron
You don't need any links to change the icon.
Just follow the steps in my reply here.
Good luck!

Cannot change font for UTF-8 pages in FF 4.0.1

No matter whether I change Options > Content > Default font, or go to Options > Content > Advanced and set Sans Serif for Other Languages, nothing changes—for instance, on this forum. Everything's still Times New Roman from the looks of it.
The Sans Serif font for Other Languages is set to Arial.
There's no Unicode entry in the list. The Other Languages is the closest I could find.
I have Options > Content > Advanced > Allow pages to choose their own fonts… unchecked.
I made similar changes for Western, and that worked—for pages detected as having ISO-8859-1 encoding.
Is this a bug? Or am I doing something wrong?
<rant>
On a more general note, I think that the font setup in Firefox is so over-complicated. I personally want all my pages in a single font, and I don't care if some weird languages are displayed incorrectly with it. I bet that most people do want the same, even them who speak those weird languages. It's just a matter of picking one font that works for the languages you care about.
Now that might not work perfectly for everybody so there should be an advanced option—an ability to add overrides. It should be similar to how it works now but the list of overrides should be user-customizable and '''empty by default.''' So that we regular people don't bother ourselves with encodings and languages we're never going to use.
I wonder if I'm the only one who's disappointed with FF's font settings. Couldn't find anything on this topic on the 'net.
</rant>

'''Xircal:''' this does not seem to be the case. When I go to Options > Content > Advanced > Other Languages I can see that Proportional is set to Sans Serif, and that Sans-Serif is set to Arial. The following line is also in my about:config:
font.default.x-unicode user set string sans-serif
'''cor-el:''' yes this is the address. While on this page, if I go to View > Character Encoding, the active selection is Unicode (UTF-8).
'''Edit:''' if I manually change this site's encoding to Western (ISO-8859-1) the font changes to that I specified for Western encoding in Advanced font options.

Cannot change preference for JPG file to open in browser rather than download Mac OS 10.5.8

I want to view individual jpg files uploaded to my mobileme account. The URL ends in .jpg. I can view the files as webpages in Safari, but with Firefox, my only choice is to download the file. I tried to change the preferences>applications>jpeg picture>to "use other" but the drop down menu goes right back to always ask. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and restarted my computer. I have two other macs running 10.5.8, and this happens on both. When I type the same URL into my mac running 10.6.3, a dialog box appears that gives me the option of choosing which application to open the file with (in this case Firefox, so that I can view the file in a web page) rather than just downloading the file. The dialog box in the 10.5.8 doesn't give me the option of choosing an app, only "Save File" or "Cancel". I'm sorry if this is long-winded.

Cannot change variable for key date in aggregate

Hello,
when I drag time-dependant attributes into an aggregates definition I am prompted to enter a key date or choose a variable for that. I then activate and fill that aggregate. Afterwards I deactivate it and remove the time-dependant attributes so there are no time-dependant attributes in the definition any longer. I then want to also remove the variable for the key date but I can't do so. This property is greyed out and there is no context menu for the entry "Variable for key date".
The SAP Help says this should be possible by changing the key date variable through the context menu (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7d/eb683cc5e8ca68e10000000a114084/frameset.htm).
Has anyone faced this problem, too? I do not want to redefine my aggregate as this is not an elegant solution to the problem.
Thanks to any answers in advance.
Regards,
Philipp

Hey Karim,
Because you have time dependent attributes in the aggregate you need to specify key date:
