Change iChat 4 icon

http://nysosym.deviantart.com/art/Space-Bubble-68169754
i have that icon and it covers up the original 1, but if its running in the backround and i get an IM or something it changes to the original icon, how do i make it stay as my custom 1?

I don't know why the question has been marked as answered. I have the same problem. After I've done the usual [Desired Icon > Get Info > Copy … Target App > Get Info > Paste], iChat responds differently than other programs. I don't know what the conditions are, but sometimes iChat displays the replacement icon I've chosen; sometimes it goes back to Apple's default, which I don't like. I think it's to do with when someone IM's you but sometimes after answering the IM's I can get the icon to recover and sometimes not.
I also tried changing the icon with CandyBar and that didn't fix the problem either.

Downloading iTunes changes all my icons to iTunes

When I download iTunes onto my computer (Windows 7) it changes all the icons on my desktop to iTunes and iTunes will not open at all. Help please!

Hiya Katrina! I might have accidentally made some progress on this one yesterday.
Every time I've seen it reported and I've tried to do some work on it, it has only affected one user account on the PC.
So ... it might be related to a damaged icon cache for the affected user account. (There's one of those for each different user account on the PC. This is what I accidentally learned yesterday while trying to research a fix for a slightly different problem.)
If that's what is going on, rebuilding the icon cache might get folks past it:
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista /
... Trouble is that that's all educated(?) guesswork/speculation, and the procedure looks a bit hairy. It's the sort of thing where I'd definitely be setting a System Restore Point for the system prior to giving it a go.

How do I change the weather icon to my local weather?

I am new to iPhone and have 2 questions:
1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
Thanks!

1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
Select the i circle icon at the bottom right.
Select the + icon at the top right to add a city. Select the red - icon next to a city on the list to remove a city.
Select the icon at the far right of each city to move that city up of down on the list.
Select Done at the top right when finished.
2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
The default icons cannot be removed. The default icons will not have an X to remove them. Only user created web clippings will have the X and can be removed.

How do I change the "trash" icon to "archive" icon in email on my iPhone using iOS7?

How do I change the "Trash" icon to "Archive" icon as the default setting in email using iPhone iOS7?

That is very much dependent on your Email account.
Go to Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Accounts->Your Account->Account->Advanced->Move Discarded Messages Into.
Choose Archive Mailbox.
It may not be there if its not supported by your email provider.

Is there a way to change the default icon for a sound file in KN2

i have need to include dozens of sound files on each slide that will trigger as text builds. i can handle all the transitions fine but i cannot figure out how to change the standard icon for the sound file.
i would prefer to have the text be the icon, if that is not possible to have a smaller icon for the file. as i build the page i am ending up with a huge mess, icons covering text, also there is not a intuitive way to tell which sound file is which with out click/playing each file.

Did you try:
OracleBI/web/app/res/s_.../popbin/
EX:
line.pcxml Look for <SeriesDefinition ...
we modified the line width and a few other things. You'll have to modify all the pcxml files for all the chart types you want to customize.

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

what i mean is like every time i create a new folder instead of changing the icon after its created, can i somehow change the default icon on a new folder i create? so when i create a new folder its created with the icon i want it to have?
and i want to do it manually i dont want to use programs for it
thanks

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 no longer change my HD icon

Replaced my 3G SSD with a 6G SSD, and used "Restore" in Disk Utility to transfer the info from the 3G to the 6G. I can boot into my usual user (set to admin) account, and everything seems to function fine. I wanted to change the custom icon to the appropriate model of SSD, but when I go to do the "copy/paste" in the Get Info window, I'm told to enter my password, and then it just stays the same and gives me the system alert sound. Nothing else. Icon won't change. Tried logging in with a separate "admin" account, and it doesn't work from there, either. I can change any other icon I want, but not my boot SSD.
I repaired permissions and zapped the PRAM and that did nothing. Booted from an external drive and tried from there, no go. It just won't allow me to change the boot drive icon, whereas it's never been a problem before.
I'm puzzled! Any suggestions for a workaround?

Well, I solved it. Here's what I did, in case anyone else has this problem.
I used the app "invisibliX" to make the hidden files visible.
Found the ".VolumeIcon" file, and noticed that it was locked.
I unlocked that file in the "Get Info" window, and THAT finally allowed me to change the SSD icon.
Hope this might help someone else. I just got the idea to look at the invisible files to see if there was anything odd. Seeing that file locked told me what I needed to do. From what I understand, the "locked file" problem happens with TimeMachine backup restores (which I've done one of in the past), so that would make sense.

When I change size of icons or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer?

When I change size of icons, or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer? In some folders I want to see a list and others I want to see an icon and I don't need a large icon in all folders. I used to be able to set each folder separately in the old OS. How do I fix this?

I can hilight an item, go to the finder/file/getinfo but there is no box next to icon view.
I can go to view/options and adjust the icon size etc, but this applies to every folder in the whole computer. I need varied options in different folders, i.e., I want to view images as icons and text as text. I have to change it every time I open a folder. I used to be able to set it per folder in the old OS.

Change the default icon for unsatisfied node

Is it possible to change the default icon for the unsatisfied node (unsatisfied indicator). I have checked the UI content element with the same name, but it does not have the source file setting in it, so I guess it is hard coded. I tried to change the source file with the name unsatisfied_status.gif to a different image and it works, but this will be a system wide change. I want to do this as a model specific change. Has anyone done this before? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Biju.

Did you try changing image name in UI edit page?
UI edit page lists few images which can be changed for each UI, like unsatisfied indicator, logic status icons etc.

I have the problem that other have had, PDFs changing to Firefox icons

All my PDFs had changed to Firefox icons and when trying to open them only the Firefox browser page appeared and I could not locate my files. Uninstalling Firefox worked fine, my files returned. One person mentioned imported profiles from an old computer being a cause but I was working on a new laptop with nothing imported from old equipment. I only installed Firefox because of small irritaing annoyances with Google Chrome, but those were only minor after the problems caused by Firefox. An extra couple of clicks is nothing compared with having lots my files messed up and inaccessible. None of the solutions proposed seemed particlarly useful long term so for the present not using Firefox seems the most practical cure. My difficulties occured on a laptop using Windows 7, I am typing this question on an even newer laptop with Windows 8.1 and I am now reluctant to try installing Firefox on this machine. It is a shame as my daughter always recommended Firefox as being a more secure browser.
'''

If Firefox detects via a registry scan that there is currently no file handler application that handles PDF files and a few other file types then the Firefox updater/installer registers Firefox as the default application to handle these file types.
This causes them to show with a Firefox icon on the desktop and in other places like Windows Explorer (Bug 452254).

Is it possible to change the app icon for websites?

Hi,
I have created a web shortcut to my home screen, at the moment the icon defaults to a shot of the web page (although very small) and was wondering if it was possible to change the app icon ?

Yes, if you can upload an icon to the webpage and change the HTML:
