Change the @ icon

I would like to be able to change the @ icon in the dock - can anyone suggest how? I really want to do it for 10.3.9, but I'm interested in a solution for 10.4.5 too (I use both).
The long story: I've got two @ icons in the dock linking to different web pages, and I would like to make them look different. They've got different text labels when you hover the mouse, but I need different icons (its for my 3 year old!!).
Cheers for any suggestions.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you drag a URL from the browser address bar to the Dock, the Dock recognizes it as web location, and knows it is supposed to assign the custom @ spring icon. There's only one, and there is no way to assign different icons to different addresses.
What you can do instead is drag the URL from the browser to the Desktop (or other convenient location). Now do GetInfo on the the webloc file and paste in a new custom icon. Once you have different icons assigned you can then drag the webloc file to the Dock. The original webloc file remains wherever you stashed it, it has a custom icon in the Dock, and goes to the address when clicked.

Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. [SOLVED]

When I click on a link in an RSS feed it used to indicate that I'd viewed that particular link by changing the icon to the left of the link. It doesn't do that anymore. This started happening right around the time I updated to Firefox 4, but may have been a little before that too. For some things, like news and web comics it's just a little annoying. For important things like looking for new journal articles for my job, it literally makes my job more difficult. So fixing this would make my day.

I seem to have solved my own problem. When I disabled the add-on "Tab Renamizer" everything started working fine.

How to change the icon for print dialog?

Hello,
I have a JTable, and with the print() method, I'm able to bring up the Print dialog and successfully print the contents of the table. Example:
myTable.print( JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, myHeaderFormat, myFooterFormat );This works great, but one small detail I'd like to change is the icon in the top-left corner of the dialog. The icon is currently the default Java coffee cup icon, while the rest of my application uses my custom icon. I couldn't find any documentation in the API or tutorials that Java has listed which shows how to change the icon, so I'm not even sure if it's possible (but why shouldn't it be?).
My question is this: Is it possible to change the default icon in the print dialog? Or do I have to either make my own print dialog somehow, or use a third-party print dialog?
Thanks

tjacobs01: Appreciate the assistance (despite your sass). I've already searched the API, tutorials, and this forum. I'm already well aware of the setIconImage() method for JFrame -- after all, that's how I set the icon for my other frames as I previously mentioned. However, I want to set the icon for the print dialog called from the print() method of JTable.
How would I use setIconImage() for the print() method of JTable? The print() method returns a boolean value, not a JFrame, so I'm just not sure how to implement what you're saying.
Thanks

How to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6 [Windows XP] ?

Hello,
I was wondering if there is a possibility to change the icon for 'windows group' in Java 1.6...
I'm using Windows XP SP2. Now the windows from my Java 1.6 application are grouped with the standard Sun icon [screen below] on the group.
http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/8995/iconbl1.png
I would like to change the icon for my own. Is there a way to do that ?
Please help.

Whichever icon I use for the main frame (I tried few), after grouping the main frame and other sub-frames the icon is changed to standard 'Java Sun' icon as you can see in the screenshot from my first post. The problem occurs only when frames are grouped, when the are separated in the task bar their titles and icons are ok...
So how can I change the icon/title for the group only (for Java 1.6 in Windows XP) ?

How to change the icon of a spot in a dynpro application?

Hi,
I am trying to change the icons for the spots on the map in a dynpro application dynamically. Is it possible to change the icon for only some of the spots? If yes, which method should I use?
The images for the icons are located in the mime repository and I added them to the application in the initialization of the application.
Thanks and regards,
Marc

Hello Mark,
The intended place for any UI technology is method DETERMINE_SPOT_ICONS of the control adapter. The default impl. resides in class CL_VBI_CONTROL_ADAPTER_GEO. There are two options for changing the icons:
1. derive your own control adapter impl. and overwrite this method
2. If the default pin assignment is sufficient you may simply replace the images. To do so provide an alternative MIME repository path to method GET_INITIAL_ZIP_ARCHIVE of class CL_VBI_GEOMAP_APPLICATION
In the later case all pin images need to be available under the new path.
Hope the answer your question.
Cheers Uwe

How to change the Icon for a JFileChooser ?

Has anyone figured out how to change the icon for an instance of JFileChooser from the coffee cup to something else?
I'm on 1.4
Thanks,
Ken

Never mind. I figured it out.
You have to use an instance of JFrame in the call to showXxxxDialog(Component c). Set the icon of the JFrame to what you want the JFileChooser's icon to be.

Why can't i change the icon in my flash drive?

Hi all,
I've been trying to do a simple task - but the mac won't have it.
I want to change the icons on my flash drives, using Cmd-I, then copy and paste the icon (purchased from mac), but all that comes up on the drive is a 'png' file pic.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks in anticipation

THank you so much - I'd like to say 'rookie mistake', but I'm not a rookie! Just having a bad day.
Thanks Niel for your help.

Why can't I change the icon of my file folders?

I'm trying to follow these directions (pasted below) that I found in Finder Help, but can't do Step 3. There is no icon in the info window that I can select. Can you please help? I have some folders for which it would be extremely helpful to show an image from their contents rather than the generic blue folder.
Thank you so much!
To use your own picture or a picture from the web:
Copy the picture you want to use to the Clipboard.One way to do this is to open the picture in Preview, choose Edit > Select All, and then choose Edit > Copy.
Select the file or folder whose icon you want to replace and choose File > Get Info.
At the top of the Info window, click the picture of the icon to select it, and then choose Edit > Paste.

Thank you SO much! Funny thing, I didn't even notice the tiny folder icon at the top of the info window until I saw it in the screen shot at the beginning of that article.
See, I have begun changing the icons of the folders of digital scrapbooking alphabets I have (screenshot below). Now it will be so much easier to scroll through my hundreds of alphas and choose one, because I can SEE them without going in and out of each folder.
A million thank yous!!!!!

To change the icon name displayed by default while an ALV is displayed.

Hi Experts ,
Need to change the icon name EXPORT displayed by default , while an ALV is displayed to Download to Excel.
How can this be achieved?

Hi,
You can copy the Status 'Standard' of the program 'SAPLKKBL' and create a Z. Change the icon name in the Z pf-status as wished. Now in the event slis_ev_pf_status_set of 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY' set the PF-Status to the Z that u created.

1) download the icons you want to your desktop
2) right click on the one you want to use and select "copy"
3) go to the application (in your application folder, NOT the dock) and right click on the application, and select "get info"
4) a pop up window will open with all this stuff in it. left click on the top icon in the info pop-up window
5) go to the finder bar (the bar on the top of the desktop) and pull down Edit, then select Paste.
6) drag the old icon off the dock into the trashcan
7) drag the new icon from the application folder to the dock

Changing the icon for saved Web links.

Im trying out different forum topics to see if anyone can help and I thought this would be a cool thing to do and might be doable with an applescript.
I save a lot of web address as files to go back to later and I find the default @ icon for firefox or the blank icon for safari pretty appalling. I was wondering if there was a way to change the icon so that when ever I save a new link file it would use the new icon. I was thinking about just an icon that has the Firefox, safari, chrome logo would be good or even better a little picture preview of the web page its self. Any help on this little idea I have is very appreciated
I really like the idea of a page preview for weblink files. Like this ( http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a238/Nuclearanthrax/Screenshot2010-09-02at1021 41PM.png )
I completely understand a straight up no answer to this. I have no idea how applescript works. I have used it very few times.

Pierre,
I tried this AppleScript but it was not working. Is there something that I need to check.
I had a few web link files in a folder and the script RAN the INFO window popped up but nothing changed.
This would be a valuable tool for me an my students,
Thanks in advance

The following script should do part of what you are asking for.
