no. not really. once we've finished our application and compile it we get an Executable Jar File in our project's Dist folder right? and it's default icon is the Java Coffee Cup. i would like to change the image of that desktop icon ^^; sorry for being too vague btw.
xnayou can change the icon to be used for all jar files - not for each single one...
Instructions for Windows XP:
1) Explorer > Tools > FileTypes
2) Select JAR (Executable Jar File)
3) Click "Advanced"
4) Click "Change Icon"
5) Select the icon you wish to use
6) Click "OK"
7) Click "Close"
If you want to change for a single application you have create an application launcher. I use [install4j|http://www.ej-technologies.com/products/install4j/overview.html] from ej-technologies.

How to change desktop icons?

Hi guys,
Just wondering if someone can help me out here? Am trying to change the desktop 'icons' in my 20" imac? (I want to change the icon of the HDD and some folders) Can someone help me out? Cheers

If you already have a picture that you want to use as an icon, open it in a picture viewing app (Preview, for instance), and copy it. Now click on the icon of the folder or disk that you want to change and press Command-I (or choose "Get Info" from the Finder's File menu). Click on the icon in the top left-hand corner: you can now paste the picture onto it.

Change desktop icon image

Can the graphic used in a desktop icon be changed? Forgive me if this the wrong forum. Are other good general Apple forums available?

Hi!
Are you attempting to use the icon from one file to paste to another file? If so, try this:
Highlight the file with the icon you want to use and key in cmd+i to bring up Get Info. Click on the icon at the top of the Get Info wondow and key in cmd+c to copy it. Highlight the file that you want to paste the icon to, do cmd+i, highlight the icon in the get Info window, then key in cmd+v to paste it to this file. The icon will be the proper size to begin with, since it was a file icon to begin with. (The way shown in the preceding post should also work, but insure that you highlight and copy the graphic icon image first, before trying to paste it into the other file.)
If you want to use a custom graphic that is not an icon, I found a simple way to convert file preview images to icons using Pic2Icon. I keep it in the Dock and drop a graphics file (or folder's worth of graphic files) on it and it immediately changes the generic icons to icons with the graphics on them. This freeware utility was developed by SugarCube Software, but is no longer available on the web, even though Googling will provide plenty of links. However, they were nice enough not to originally restrict it's redistribution and I have a copy on my iDisk if you want it. The link is posted below and the archived file will immediately begin downloading if you click on it. (I'll leave the link active for a few days or so before disabling it.)

You can also create such preview icons via Photoshop, if you have it...

Registry key to change desktop icon size

By default Windows 7 has desktop icon view set to Medium. I want to change the default user NTuser.dat hive as part of SCCM build so that each new user has small size by default, but can change if they wish (hence can't do it as a GPO)
Does anyone know the registry key(s) to change?
Ian Burnell, London (UK)

Hi,
This view size is controlled by HKU specific user registry. Thus it can't be mapping to another user account.
If you insist, there is a complex workaround(However I wouldn't like to recommend you use this method):
Copy the following registry value to place another user's registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\Bags
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell\BagMRU
Note: It can't be imported, just copy its value.

Chance Xfce desktop icon color and folder select background color

Hi there,
I'm using Xfce as my DE and I have installed this theme.
The problem is, because I have a black desktop background I can't see the icon's labels very well. I already tried to change the color with the file .gtkrc-2.0 in many ways, including the one in Arch Wiki, but the problem continues.
The other problem is, when I select a folder/file in Thunar the background is white, and again it's very difficult to distinguish between selected and not select folders/files. How can I change the background color? (This one I have no idea of how to make).
Thanks in advance.

Started To Change Desktop Icons, But Now Want Originals Back

I started to change my Applications/Pictures/Library/Desktop/Ect. icons to ones that I liked a little better, but now I can't find the rest of the set, and want to revert back to the original icons. Is there a way to do this? I'd rather not have to restore everything to factory settings if that's possible.
[My Model says MacBook but also have an iMac G5]

Get the icon you want to change, hit get info, then hit the delete key on the keyboard, it will change back to the original icon.

To set up the new AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) as a bridge, either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility, make these settings:
Internet - Internet Connection tab
o Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
o Click Update to apply the new settings.

Changing desktop icon placement

I cant seem to figure out how to use the arrange icons function and not have them align on the right side of my desktop.
I move them to the left and use this funtion, and it puts them back to the right.
It seems counter-intuitive to have things align on the right when we read from the left.
Any help?
Thanks
Nat

Hello Nat & Welcome to Discussions.
From your desktop choose View>Show Options or Command+J Then uncheck Snap to grid and uncheck Keep arranged by: This will allow you to put your icons wherever you want and they'll stay there.

All desktop icons are itunes icons how to change them

how to change desktop icons back to original, as all are iTunes icons now

First I'd set up a System Restore point. Then try applying the LNK registry fix from the following document:
File Association Fixes for Windows 7
Does that get your icons back to normal?

Showing desktop icons as picture previews

I've done this before, but I can't remember how...
Does anyone know how to convert all the picture icons on the desktop screen (as well as Finder folders) into a mini "preview" picture?
Sometimes when I upload a lot of pictures from my camera to my iMac's desktop there's so much that it takes hours to select the pictures I want to keep.
Thanks for the help in advance.

Hi, vin78.
To display a preview icon for picture files on the desktop:
1. Click the desktop.
2. Either press Command-J or select Finder > View > Show View Options.
3. In the resulting info window for the desktop, select Show Icon Preview.
4. Close the info window for the desktop.
This does not change the icon of the picture files to a preview, but merely causes finder to display a preview instead of the standard image-type icon.
You can try tools like Pic2Icon or use the super shareware utility Graphic Converter\ to change the icon of an image file to an image preview.
Folders do not show preview icons of their contents. To change the icon of a folder, see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the icon of a file or folder.”.
Good luck!

How can I assign an icon to a folder using Powershell?

How can I assign an icon to a folder using Powershell?

I'm trying to make a script that goes through a folder recursively, checks for every folder if it's name is "template", and if so it changes the icon of that folder to an icon
I chose.
I searched for an answer here, and I've only managed to find a way to assign an icon to a shortcut, but not to an existing file.
Thanks in advance (:

Desktop pavillion 6510y wont hold desktop icons in place

every time i place a desktop icon (short cut) on my desktop where i want it, when ever it is restarted, or shut down and then it is restarted and comes back up, all those icons are always right back where this computer wants em to be, not where I want em to be!!! Is there any way this can be solved to make the desktop icons stay where I want them to be placed and STAY THERE?
Always right back all on the Left side of the screen usually....

Hi angiej,
See if this works:
If you're using windows 7, right click on the desktop and click personalize. On the left, click on change desk top icons, a new box opens. Un-tick the Allow themes to change desktop icons box.

Cannot change dock icons

I have change several icons. Some folder and some dock icons. All went well except dashboard and iCal. The change for them is reflected in finder but not the dock. I even changed the new icon from a document to a png file and changed the dashboard png in core services/dock app/ show contents/ resources. I changed the iCal in show contents/ resources/ app.icns. All the other icons I changed in the info panel with no problem. Just dashboard and iCal are not taking the change in the dock.

the dashboard icon should be .icns not png. it won't work with a png. and you need to replace it inside the dock application package. the safest and the easiest way to do that is using Candybar or liteicon. I'm not sure what's the exact story with ical is. because the icon is drawn with the current date on it, it's drawn programmatically and not as a static image which is likely why you can not change it. but i have no issues changing the dashboard icon. you need to relaunch dock after changing it.
