Change Icon on .doc

I have gone through the correct procedure to have all the Microsoft Word documents on my Mac open with PAGES and it works correctly however they no longer show the Word icon but show a generic blank icon w/the file. I've turned off the computer and restarted but they still ALL show with this blank generic icon?
How can I get ALL the .doc on my Mac to show the nice PAGES icon?

The question has been asked before, and I do not think there is anything you can do. Pages has no icon defined for Word documents, and therefore the documents stick to the default. Even if they open in Pages, they do not become Pages documents.

JTree changing Icons of leaves of a node

I have a Jtree with root node as "Project"
I have nodes as "color", "sports", "food" which in turn have leaves.
I have to set an Icon "Icon1" for all the leaves of node "color"
I have to set another Icon "Icon2" for all leaves of node "sports"
and have to set another Icon3" for all the leaves of node "food"
How do I go about doing it? Thanks.

Take a look at the Swing Tutorial, specifically http://web2.java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html#display. This gives a straightforward example of changing icons (or anything on the node) by using a cell renderer.

Blank Icons on .doc files when make Pages default.

When i make pages default for .doc or .docx files (for exemple), they become blank icons. It's terrible. How to solve this??? I've tried a lot of options but always with no sucess. I selected the file .doc or .docx, click cmd+I and select Pages to open all documents on this kind........and then all files .doc or docx gains a black icon!!! I have repeated this same operation but forcing/change the icon of the file (with cmd+I and put a pages icon on the up letf side).......result: all files became blank icons...except that one! Anyone have a solution?

I understand Peter, but I work with a lot of files, and I'm very visually on it.
Separate kind of files by their aspect is very important for me.
I don´t need that .doc or .docx have pages icon....I just need an any icon, not a blank icon.
Because numbers do the same to .xls or .xlsx files.
Imagine a Folder with 2500 files (.doc .docx .xls .xlsx .dot.....etctetc) all blank icon files......files that I need to identify quickly.
So, I understand your point of view, but i really need to put icons on .doc ; docx files.....and note one by one.
Maybe an automator workflow??
Any soluction??
Thanks

Add change Icon in the Table Control tool bar.

Hi Abapers,
I need to add "change" icon in the table control. I added it but when I click on it is not working.
My requirement is that when I run my custom report, all the fields should be shown is in display mode. Then when I click on the "change" icon, all fields should be enabled for change.
I have already referred to the standard progs BCALV_* but it does not have the "change" icon.
plz give me any reference prg or sample code.
Thanks
Nani.

Hi Nani,
Track the function code of change icon in user command. if it is clicked then put a flag eq X.
check that flag in PBO, if it is eq X then screen-input = 1 or vice versa.
try this code:
in PBO:
LOOP AT SCREEN
IF WS_EDIT = 'X'
SCREEN-INPUT = 1
ELSE
SCREEN-INPUT = 0
ENDIF
MODIFY SCREEN
ENDLOOP
Hope it will work fine

How to change icon of a Folder-track?

By Folder-track I mean the Folder in Arrange window that is created from "packing reions". Is that even possible in LogicPro7 - to change it's icon?
I mean I know how to change icons for my audio tracks, audio-instrument tracks. And it would be nice if I can assign different icons for different Folder-tracks.
I did not find how to do that

It is possible... use option-command-hold on the icon of the folder in a track in the arrange and up pops the many icons to choose from.
You can set the icon to something other than the folder.
To make different folders I guess you would have to do some image editing
and make your own icons but that is pretty easy.
Put your user create icons here...
~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images/Icons
and logic will load your numbered image file instead of the default ones that
Logic would normaly use.
Note: 1.png is the file name of the regular folder icon.

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:
http://www.squidoo.com/mkv-converter-mac
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?

Hi,
Please check the value of the parameter BBP_WFL_SECURITY in trascn PFCG for the EMPLOYEE role. See whether that is set to value low/medium/high so that the employee sees the CHANGE button.

Trouble changing icon in any application, file, etc etc

I've followed the instructions to change an icon and have done it before with success. But it's not working anymore? Here are the steps i'm doing.... Am I missing something?
1. right click on icon that i want to use as the "new icon"
(i believe this is the problem... preview.app is opening the icon. with in get info, the "icon" at the top is just your generic "jpeg" icon. In the "preview" window towards the bottom shows a picture of the icon)
2. select get info
3. right click on "icon" at top of preview window
4. cmd c to copy (also tried copy from file drop down)
5. repeated step on target app to chang icon
6. cmnd v to paste (also tried to paste from file drop down)
doesn't change the icon on the target app or file etc etc....
signed.... confused?

OK, try doing both a SMC and PRAM reset and see if either takes care of the problem.

SMC & PRAM Resets
There are a couple of things you can do before heading off to the Apple store, a SMC and PRAM resets. To do these:
_SMC RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
• Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
• Release the power button.
• Attach the computers power cable.
• Press the power button to turn on the computer.
_PRAM RESET_
• Shut down the computer.
• Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
• Turn on the computer.
• Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
• Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
If it still doesn't work then try restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear out some caches which have become corrupted. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455

Changing Icons & Reverting to Old?

Can someone please explain how to change icons on both the dock and desktop as well as a good site with cool new icons?
Also - if I change an icon, how do I go about reverting to the old one?
Thanks.

click on the icon or folder...
Press Apple+i
The window will pop up
Find the icon you WANT
Do the same - select it, press Apple+i
Then in the top left corner you will see a mini icon. Click that so it's selected.
Hit Apple+C
Then select the icon you want to replace. Click on that so it's selected
Hit Apple+V
If it doesn't show up, just do it again.
To REMOVE an icon - same thing - press apple+i on the file you want to remove the icon on
Click the little icon in the top left corner so it's selected
Hit Apple+X
The icon reverts to the ORIGINAL icon.
As mentioned above, there are other programs, that you pay for, that can do this for you automatically, and can change icons within say browsers and such (like your little finder icons, etc). It's cool for about 10 minutes, but I don't think it's worth the money.
Make sure to check out apple.com downloads, iconfactory, and many other websites for apple icons, there are a TON out there.

[SOLVED] change icons in thunar (XFCE)

Hello all,
Me again. Is there a way to change the icon colors in Thunar? I copied the gnome-wine, gnome-wise, etc. from my Xubuntu test box and copied them to /usr/share/icons. I can see they show up under System Settings, Appearance/Icons. I can even select them, but only the icons on the desktop change colors (call me crazy, but I like the green folder icons). However, the icons in thunar are still the grayish brown standard icons.
Is there a way to have the thunar icons use the XFCE system icons?
--nixIT
Last edited by nixIT (2011-06-03 16:17:00)

in xfce4 (4.8.0.3, the version I am using in ubuntu):
You can do this to chang the icons in thunar and through the xfce desktop
1) Click the main menu (Xfce menu at the bottom-left of the screen)
2) Click Settings -> Appearance
On Appearance dialog:
1) Click Icons tab (or press alt+i)
2) if you have icon themes installed you can selec them (such as Tango)
-- this will change iconds for the entire desktop:
Thunar, Xfce menu, etc
EDIT: I now realize that this was about changing icon colors and the above was already noted in the first post
.. any way it helped me change my icon theme to Tango...thanks

Mission impossible: changing icons in dialogs?

Hi, Is it really impossible to change icons in dialogs in a straightforward manner? I am new to Java Swing but have used most GUI:s and really never encountered any problems changing icons in the caption part of a window frame (upper left corner). If such common practice is as hard as it seems in Java, it must be considered a major flaw! Please take a look at the problem and enlighten me.
It is easy to replace the default �coffee cup� icon in the main application window (a JFrame) with a new icon in file "main.gif",
Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image icon = kit.getImage(�main.gif");
setIconImage(icon);
The following creates a non-modal dialog window (one the user mustn't close before doing something else),
Dialog status = new JDialog(this,"Status",false);
The dialog will have the main JFrame as its parent and inherit its icon. Fine, but I want some other icon in this dialog, for example a toolbar icon in file "status16.gif". The only way to do it seems to be to introduce a �dummy� Jframe like this,
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
Image icon = kit.getImage("status16.gif");
frame.setIconImage(icon);
Dialog status = new JDialog(frame,"Status",false);
The dialog now sports the status icon, but there is a dire side-effect of this fix. The main JFrame will no longer be the parent of the dialog (the 'dummy' JFrame will) and this has consequences. For example when the user activates the application main window by clicking on it, the dialog window will no longer automatically place itself on top. A work-around would involve explicitly writing dialog window management code.
It shouldn�t be this complicated to accomplish something as simple as an icons change. I must have missed something important here.
Best Regards, Ulf Johansson

DOMO, I too can't get the bug links to work. I suspect many have encountered my "icon in dialog"-problem but given up. It's a frustrating flaw. If nobody comes up with a soulution I'll file a bug report for what it's worth. Sun should take these 'minor' issues seriously. In C# it's a breeze.

How to change icons of a JTree node dynamically

Hi all!
I want to change icon associated with a node dynamically ( i.e. after the tree has being displayed). How can i achieve this?
Can any one provide me a sample code snippet.
Thanks in advance
Murali

I have created CustomCellRenderer and i'm calling this class as follows
tree.setCellRenderer((TreeCellRenderer) new CustomCellRenderer(true));
The boolean value for the constructor (in this case it's true) will be set to
a local variable in the CustomCellRenderer class. Then upon clicking a node in the tree the boolean value (true) is set and the icon for that node should be changed as specified in the CustomCellRenderer class.
When i click on a node all the icons of that tree are disappearing.
Can any one help me in this issue
public class CustomCellRenderer
          extends          JLabel
          implements     TreeCellRenderer
