Changing the "applications" icon without Candy Bar...

... and without the icon reverting to its original upon restart. Is it possible? If yes, would someone be so kind as to give detailed instructions. I would be most appreciative.
New mac user, please be kind.
PowerBook, 15 inch Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks for the prompt response.
I did search the topic prior to posting and found similar advice. This process has worked well for all of my icon substitutions with the exception of the "Applications" icon in the Finder. After restarting my computer, I find the this icon reverts to its default.
Any suggestions?

Can I change the Firefox icon permanently?

I've been trying to change the Firefox/Nightly icons to a custom icon that will show in the taskbar. I've tried using resource hacker to fix it, but after I restart my computer or wait long enough the changes will disappear and the icons will go back to normal.
The icon for the firefox.exe in the programs will change to the icons I want once I use resource hacker, but when I turn my computer back on they go back to the default ones. Is there a way to change the icon "permanently" and still be able to change it back when I want it back?
Thanks.

Change it as you would any taskbar icon:
# Right-click the Nightly icon on the taskbar.
# In the menu that pops up, right-click Nightly and choose Properties.
# In the Properties window, click the Shortcut tab.
# Click the Change Icon button, select your custom icon and click the OK button.
# Click the OK button to close the Properties window.
# If Nightly is currently running, you'll may need to exit and restart it for the change to take effect.
There's a way to change the application icon in Firefox, but it won't affect much. If you've already done the above, then in current versions of Windows it'll probably only affect the icon shown in the Alt+Tab application switcher.
Name your icon ''main-window.ico'' and place it in the following folder. The folder doesn't exist by default and must be created manually.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nightly\browser\chrome\icons\default
Don't tamper with any Firefox installation files, the executable in particular.

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.

I cannot install an application in the Applications folder without removing it first

For some time now, I have noticed that I cannot install an application into the application folder without first removing it from the folder. If I try to install it by dragging the icon to the application folder, I get a warning that the application can't be moved because the folder "Applications" can't be modified. I click on authenticate and enter the root username and password. I am warned that the application already exists in the location. I am asked if I want to replace the item. The options presented are "Keep both files", "Stop", and "Replace". I choose "Replace". I am then prompted for an administrator's name and password. I enter "root" and the root password. I then get this lengthy error message:
The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.
I checked the permissions and "locked" was already deselected. The permissions grant my regular user read and write permissions, "staff" read-only, and "everyone" read-only. If I add "admin" with read and write permissions, nothing changes, i.e. I get the same error. If I try to enter my user credentials, they are rejected. My user is not an admin user. Previously, when I enterered the root username and password, the operation would complete successfully.
Now if I first remove the application from the Applications folder, then drag the application to the folder, I am prompted for an administrator's name and password. When I enter it, the application is copied successfully.
I have tried fixing file and directory permissions from the disk utility, but that doesn't fix the problem.

When you say, "locked" was already deselected, I take it that you mean the small icon at the bottom right of the Get Info window displayed an open lock picture.
Have you tried locking it, then unlocking it again? I expect you will be able to lock it by simply clicking on the open lock icon, but to unlock it again you will need to supply an Admin password.
Odd that DU didn't fix it. That would be my first thought also. Suggest trying it again, if you haven't already done so.
Speaking of DU, have you verified your HDD?
My Applications folder permissions read -
System          Read and Write

Hi ,Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your forum profile with a real handle instead of "1001804".
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.
I have an issue here. As per the requirements I need to change the application title in Apex while

This change has to be done Dynamically. Without Entering it Manually.Also clarify what you mean by "instance". An "APEX instance" refers to the APEX installation in a database. The "APEX instance" does not have a specific name property, and would therefore usually be referred to using the database name. Or do you mean the APEX workspace containing the application?

Change the mouse icon.

Hi all I need to change the mouse icon.
I'm using:
setCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR);
buet the problem is that this only works inside the application. If the mouse cursors does out of the application (f.e. to the windows desk) the mouse changes into the typical arrow icon.
What I need is the mouse icon to remain as a sand-watch icon till some opperations are done in the application.
Thanks in advance.
Dani.

I believe this behaviour is controlled by the operating system. This is part of the pre-emptive multi-tasking system, the principle being that one busy application should not disrupt the rest of the OS (compare with Win 3.1).
So I don't think you can do that, and even if you can, you probably shouldn't

Using Custom Icons - Changing the Finder Icon

So I know you can just do a simple copy and paste under "get info" in order to change icons for applications and folders, but how do you do this for Finder? I know this is possible, if not for the simplest reason that one of the downloads that Apple has featured on this site for icons has a Finder icon (bad logic I know, but it seems odd that Finder would be the only icon you couldn't change). The problem is, how do you "Get Info" on Finder? Where would you find finder (no pun intended)?
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the help in finding the icon, the only problem is that it won't let me alter it. I even changed permissions on the bottom of the "get info" screen to allow the current user (also the administrator) to both read and write, but it wouldn't let me paste a different styled icon over it. Any suggestions on how to change the Finder icon to a custom one? And ya we were thinking about how we would change it back too, but realized its not really that big of an issue because all our friends and even we have multiple macs, so we could always just copy it back that way.

Premiere Pro cc won't launch. When I try, the application window flashes, then the application exits without an error message.

I downloaded trial versions of Photoshop and Premiere Pro on my brand new MacBook Pro 15" retina 2.8GHz Intel Core i7. OS X 10.9.5
Photoshop works perfectly. When I try to open Premiere, the application icon on the dock flashes and then disappears without an error message. I have tried (several times) to sign out and in again to Creative Cloud. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere Pro. The same thing continues to happen.
Any suggestions? I'm extremely frustrated as my old version of Final Cut doesn't work on this OS, and I'm keen to try out Premiere before I commit to buying (renting) it.
Thanks, Team.

Somekind of hardware incompatibility probably. Tech support will work through install/launch failures probelms with you for no charge if you call/chat them.
Having CS5 installed or uninstalled shoudl have nothing to do with it, both apps can run live on the same system simultaneously.

Changing the folder icon

I'm trying to change the folder icon for the Pictures folder. But, when I do, the Pictures icon on the left of the window also changes and becomes the same as the Pictures folder icon. I want the two of them to be different but can't seem to figure it out.

If you really want to get into it, changing application icons, most of them are separate .icns files within the application package.
For example, the Finder icon is
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/Finder.icns
When you select Finder.app-Ctrl-click and choose show package contents to dig further down.
Most of the other standard icons used by the Finder are in the same Resources folder.
If you install the Developer Tools package from the MacOS X Install DVD, you can use the Icon Composer to apply and save your own icons to pretty much anything.

How do I change the desktop Icon for an external hard drive? I have gone to "Get Info" and tried dragging and dropping several formats of pictures and the icon changes to the generic image of that file type.

how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive. Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.

One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.

RoboHelp 10 - Is it possible to change the TOC icon for just one "book" in the TOC. See the attached screen shot.

In my current Help project, I have one set of topics that are specific to use of our product in one country. I would like to change the TOC icon for the specific book without changing all of the "purple book" icons.
Thanks.

Whether you can do this depends on how much time you are willing to invest. The easy answer is 'no'.
Having said that, it is possible to change the script to change the icon for a specific page. For this, you need to change the output files and you must create an exception to the regular mechanism. Best of all, you need to hard code the topic title/url to do this. This is a typical case of 'I offer consultancy for these kinds of things'. PM me if you want to know more.
Kind regards,

How do I change the taskbar icon to use the new icon?

I created an icon (Visual Studio 2013) that I placed on the Windows 7 taskbar a month ago.
I have changed the icon. The new icon displays correctly when I place a shortcut on my desktop.
When I unpin the old icon, and drag the new icon to the taskbar, it displays the old icon.
When I run the program from the taskbar, the program displays the new icon. However, the old icon remains on the taskbar.

It's because they're cached.
The cache will usually be refreshed only when you reboot.
You can, however, force a refresh.
Choose run, type or paste in:
ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache

How to change the application alias for a web project in NW7.2

Hi,
a simple question, but I could not manage to solve it: How do I change the application alias (the url) of a web project? I'm using Netweaver 7.2 and all the tutorials I found refer to earlier versions and do not work anymore.
In particular, I would like to change e.g. "server.com/vendor~webbappname" (the standard url of the web project) to "server.com/mywebapp".
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi,
Try customizing the <context-root> element in the web.xml deployment descriptor, for example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ASCII"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
           xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
          http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd"
           version="5">
           <display-name>YourWebApp</display-name>
           <module>
               <web>
               <web-uri>YourWebApp.war</web-uri>
               <context-root>mywebapp</context-root>
          </web>
     </module>
     <module>
          <ejb>YourWebAppEjb.jar</ejb>
     </module>
</application>
Afterwards, rebuild and redeploy your application.
I hope that helps.

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.
