Custom Bookmark Icons?

I Think Yosemite Is Beautiful OS, But Safaris Bookmark tabs icons are bit ugly. And they usually don't match together.
Is there any way to change these icons?

Here's how to modify your toolbar icons icons in 4. It's not elegant, and it requires that you have an earlier version of FF3 somewhere, but it does work.
Since FF3 and FF4 both use the same '''bookmarks.html''' file (where icon information is stored), you do what you want with FaviconPicker in a version that works with it (before 3.6.11) and then export the bookmarks.html file somewhere, where you can then import it in 4.
I've been able to do this with an old laptop that has FaviconPicker working wth FF3, but you could up set both FF3 and FF4 on the same machine, using the instructions in
[[Install Firefox 4 Beta alongside Firefox 3.6?|http://superuser.com/questions/160986/install-firefox-4-beta-alongside-firefox-3-6]]
This doesn't work if you use Firefox Portable 4. The way the portable version reads the bookmarks.html has some differences. (I wasted a lot of time finding this out.)
Before you start this project, make a backup (export to a different folder) of your bookmarks.html file in 4, just in case...

Is there a way to customize safari bookmarks' icons

I guess the question says it all.
I would like to customize the generic bookmarks' icons in the safari Favorites page.
Any way to do that?

What do you mean by "customize"?
If you want to change the icon for a specifc bookmarked site in the Favorites list, then lizdance40 is correct. There is no way to change a site to use a custom icon.
If you want to change which bookmarked sites appear in the list, then the answer is yes, you can change the list of sites that appears in the list as well the order that they appear. To change which sites appear in the Favorites list, add bookmarks to or remove bookmarks from the Favorites folder by navigating to that folder in the Boomarks pop-over (tap the Bookmarks icon to the right of the address field, then tap the Bookmarks icon, then navigate to the Favorites folder, then tap the "Edit" button). You can also open a new tab, then press-and-hold on one icon to move it to a new location. Just drop it when it's in place.

Custom iPhone Icons

Someone else posted in the iWeb section with no replies, so I'll try here.
Anyone know now to use the information from the iPhone Development Center on creating WebClip Bookmark Icons, but using iWeb?
http://developer.apple.com/iphone/devcenter/designingcontent.html
Thanks!

check out my post, see if that helps, it's labeled "ways to set custom webclips without using white shot of web page" or something along those lines. See if it helps and let me know.

Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

We have a new iPad Mini. I cannot save a new Bookmark. In Safari, I go to "Share" and select "Add a Bookmark" yet when I click on the Bookmarks icon, my saved Bookmark is not there. Am I doing something wrong?

We have a new iPad Mini, and I'm having inconsistent results using Bookmarks in the Safari icon.
For a long time, on the iPad, I could only see five items under the Bookmark icons and the Bookmarks Bar was empty.
Occasionally, in Safari, the iPad would pick up and display all of the Bookmarks from the Safari browser on my iMac.
Other times, there are only a bare few Bookmarks available on the iPad, the Bookmarks Bar goes away and I cannot save a new Bookmark. It looks like I can save one, but I cannot find it after allegedly saving.
Then, all of the Bookmarks will come back and I can save a new Bookmark again. We can't figure out why all of the Bookmarks will show and then they won't.
I want to think this involves iCloud some way, but for right now, I'm stumped. Perhaps we're just too inexperienced and haven't come around the learning curve yet.
Thanks for any help.

No, I see the three areas at the bottom of the Bookmark area that you refer to, but that also highlights an issue. When I want to save a story to my Reading List and click on Share then "Add to Reading List" then go back to look at what is stored in the Reading List, my recently-saved item is not there.
I looked thru the History tab and the Reading List tab and have been in the Bookmark tab. But even when I Save a Bookmark, that newly-saved Bookmark does not show up in the Bookmark area.
But then again, the next day (and actually just in the last half-hour) all of the functionality came back. When I look at the Bookmarks, suddenly, again, all of the Bookmarks that are on my Safari browser on my iMac are now there, and I can now Save a Bookmark.
It keeps coming in and out and that is what is driving me a little nuts.
Thanks.

My UI is not the same as that shown in the Mozilla website..why? (i.e home button still on left hand side of screen and no bookmark icon)

I was using FF 4 Beta and applied the update ... I noticed that my final version was not the same as shown on the website so I removed the beta setup file and took off all versions of FF cleaned adn restarted my laptop and then reinstalled a clean version of FF 4.. however my final* version is not the same as shown still. Is this right or do I need to do something else :(
Examples of what is different is the home icon remains on the left hand side of the screen next to the back button and I do not have the bookmarks icons which from the website should appear on the right hand side next to the new location of the home button.

Look you can customize it very easily.
Press Alt+V to have the View Menu -> Select Toolbars -> Click on Customize -> Now drag the Home Button to anywhere on the toolbar and pick the Bookmarks Button from the available icons and put it in the toolbar.

How can I delete the repeated bookmarks icons in the bookmarks toolbar?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [[/questions/879742]]</blockquote>
My Firefox 6.02 bookmarks toolbar shows the same two bookmarks repeatedly (3 times and two times) so there is no space for the favourite bookmarks I had originally. How can I delete the repeated bookmarks icons in the toolbar? I tried to drag them to trash, but without success. I could not do it from view/ toolbars/customize either.

This is a duplicate, please see my suggested answer <br/>[/questions/879742#answer-251913] <-- clickable link --

I get a black screen instead of my bookmark list when I click on bookmarks icon

BookThis happened suddenly. I can still access my bookmarks by going to the Bookmarks(top of screen)/Bookmarks Bar/then pull-down Alice's Bookmarks from that to access my bookmarks. However, I have to keep the cursor pushed down, cannot rearrange them from there or view the actual URLs. What did I do to cause this?! More importantly, how do I UNDO it and get back my access to the nice bookmarks list by simply clicking on the bookmark icon up top?" It is VERY frustrating!

this is happening to me as well but I want to see what that bookmark is as aposed to having to double click the bookmark itself I have saved many bookmarks and I am regualrly looking for things on the bookmarks so I do not want to have to click evey single bookmark to find things again

My favorites bookmark icon has disappeared. It was next to my home page icon and is now gone. How do I get it and my bookmarks back

My bookmarks icon, which was located next to the homepage icon is missing. Please tell me how to restore the icon so I can have access to the bookmarks

Hi,
Please try this: '''View '''('''Alt '''+ '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' > '''Customize''' or right-click the '''+''' after the last tab, look for the '''Bookmarks''' icon (there may be two), click, hold, drag and drop it on an empty space in the toolbar. When the '''Customize...''' window is open you can also check if the icon is hidden below other icons by moving the other toolbar items.

After updating to Firefox 5 on a Windows 7 PC the bookmarks icon won't stay on the toolbar and I can't click it to get a bookmarks column on the left side of the screen, how do I fix it?

There was no bookmarks icon on the toolbar. I used View > Toolbars> customise to put various icons on the toolbar all of which were visible using "customise". On going back to Firefox all the other icons remained visible but the Bookmarks Icon disappeared leaving no means of getting a bookmarks column on the left of the screen when using Firefox.

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar<br />
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" and check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

How do I move the Bookmark icon to the left side of the screen in Firefox 8.0?

I am left handed and after all this time I've lost both the bookmarks icon and the homepage icon to the far right of the screen. Why did you do that, to look like Windows Explorer? If I wanted IE8.0 I would have been using it. And the default search engine is Bing? At least there is a work around to change that. You have really made a mess of this outstanding product.

Icon Creation Question -- What format are custom shaped icons saved as?

I have Adobe Photoshop CS and Adobe Illustrator CS. I am assuming that one of those are able to create custom shaped icon format images for using on Mac folders.
I am able to save usable icons for folders as .psd format.
However, they are always square or rectangular, with a blank background around a non-square/non-rectangular image.
I'm not able (don't know how) to save icons as custom shapes that only appear as the custom shape when in use on a folder.
Examples
The .psd file in Photoshop is only the blue disc shape, but when it's saved, the white background is added by default.

I know how to use the Save for Web feature in Photoshop using the .png-24 selection which produces a transparent background, but that format doesn't work for icons.
What format(s) do I need to save images as to use as custom shaped icons on Mac folders?
A detailed reply would be very appreciated.

The easiest way to get what you want is try Iconographer:
http://www.mscape.com/products/iconographer.html
It is quick, easy and a mere $15. You can do it "by hand" but it can get a bit complicated or iffy.
1. Create the icon you want in Photoshop, format is 128x128 pixels at 72dpi.
2. Make sure you have a transparent background layer, flatten the file
3. Save as a tif file: myicon.tif
4. Launch Terminal and type the command:
tiff2icns /path/to/myicon.tif
You can get Terminal to fill in the path for you, just put a space after the command, then drag the file into the Terminal window and drop it.
Hit the Return key. With luck you will have a new file "myicon.icns" with the transparency preserved.
5. Actually using your icon requires the icns file to actually display the icon so you can copy it from the GetInfo window. The only sensible way to do this is to download the freeware program icns2icon:
http://www.icons.cx/goodies/
6. Launch icns2icon and drop your new icon file on it. Now when you do GetInfo on the file there will be an icon to copy.
Iconographer is easier and better. If you want to make a bunch of custom icons with transparent backgrounds it is well worth the 15 bucks.

Customer Dashboard Icon missing in Siebel

The Customer Dashboard Icon is missing for some users only, but other users are able to see. There is no difference in Responsibility. How to troubleshoot?

Do you have multiple Web Servers in your environment? You may want to check the PUBLIC folder on each to make sure everything is intact. Bouncing the World Wide Web Publishing service may also help.

Assign custom TOC icons

I am working with RoboHelp 8. In RoboHelp 6, I was able to assign an icon to a book or page in the TOC. I'm trying to do it in RoboHelp 8 (according to the steps below from RH's help), but I don't have the "Image" field (step 2) to select an image.
I will try and attach a screen capture so you can see what I'm referring to, but last time I tried, the image didn't get through to the forum.
Thanks,
Debbie
Assign custom TOC icons (HTML Help)
In the Table Of Contents pod, right-click a book or page. Select Properties.
Click the Advanced tab.
Under Image, Auto indicates that the book or page uses the standard icon.
From the pop-up menu, select an icon.
You can assign other icons to books and pages after you add the bitmap file (BMP) to your project.
(Optional) Select Mark As New to display the standard icon with a red star. The star indicates to users that the TOC item contains new information.
Click OK.
Version-control projects may have more options.
Note: The Table Of Contents pod displays all books and pages with the standard icons regardless of the selection you make at the Advanced tab. After you generate the project, you can view icons in the Contents pane.

That help topic relates to HTML Help (.CHM file) output only. Assuming you are outputting CHM files, what you need to do is set your default single source layout to Microsift HTML Help in your Single Source Layouts pod.
