How can i change the icon in the top left of a jdialog

how can i change the icon in the top left of a jdialog.
thnkx in advance

You cannot directly. If you have a jFrame (e.g.) with your own icon you can use one of the JDialog costructors using (Component owner, ... ). Then the dialog will display the same icon.

How can I change the Icon on the JFrame?

Everytime, when I create an application, the default javalogo will show on the left top concern of the application which using JFrame, how can I change it to the other?

Have you tried using the setIconImage method like this:
JFrame F=new JFrame();
F.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("myIcon.gif"));
Here is what the API doc says:
setIconImage
public void setIconImage(Image image)
Sets the image to be displayed in the minimized icon for this frame. Not all platforms support the concept of minimizing a window.
Parameters:
image - the icon image to be displayed. If this parameter is null then the icon image is set to the default image, which may vary with platform.

How can I change the icon for incoming messages on iChat?

I already changed the icon for the ichat app, but whenever i get a new message it reverts back to the original icon with a number on the corner. I have an icon for the alternating messages i just don't know how to change it. HELP?!

Hi,
It's a long time since I changed an Icon on anything on my computer.
The icon for the App is stored in the App and there are two ways to change it.
You can do a Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) on the app itself and then Paste a new icon to the top field.
The other way is to edit/change the icns file in the App itself.
Right/Control Click the app and choose Show Package Contents.
Open the Contents folder then Resources and the iChat.icns file is in there
I am presuming that if you use the first method - the bit that puts the Red area with the number in it uses something else (possibly the icns file)
I cannot find any "supply" of the red numbers. In fact I use Chax (An iChat Add-On) that changes this to the first part of the first IM that is not read - which suggests the red area is the important bit.
If you do try to edit the .icns file I would save the Original first.

How can i change the icon in JDialog

Hi,
I have created a regular JDialog with new JDialog("Title");
My problem is, the JDialog has the standard Java Icon.
Is there a way to change this icon to a custom icon.
I know you can change the icon in a JFrame, but haven't found anything how to change it in a JDialog.
Any idea?

Yep,
there is no way to do it apart from using a different constructor:
.... = new JDialog(Frame owner,String title)
If you have set the Icon in owner , your JDialog will have the same icon.

How can I change the icon for the bookmarks menu button

Using linux, the default icon for the bookmarks menu button is quite ugly. Is there a way to change the icon for the button with some code in userChrome.css ?

After several intents, I found a solution.
This is my userChrome.css file:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
toolbarbutton[class="toolbarbutton-1"]#bookmarks-menu-button image[class="toolbarbutton-icon"] {
list-style-image: url("bookmark_gray.png") !important;
-moz-image-region: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 24px) !important;}
Probably it's messy but works.

How can I change 'jpg' Icon to a thumbnail sized photo?

hello all,
When i connect a camera, phone etc to my mac and browse its images instead of getting lots of easy to search through thumbnail images all I can get are the 'jpg' icons. If I want to find a specific photo that I have not yet named I have to go through all the 'icons' and double click them to see what image they are.
Is there anyway to change the settings so instead of icons I will have little thumbnail images I can browse through?
cheers
alex

If you use Image Capture to move your photos from the camera to the Mac, there's a preference that will "create custom file icons that look like images", etc.
To add custom icons and file comments to downloaded image files:
Connect your digital camera or scanner, click Options, and then click Options again.
Select "Create custom icons" and "Add item info to Finder file comments."
I don't know about iPhoto.

How can I change the icons in Mail?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite. I hate how the icons in Mail are REALLY BIG which causes me to have to scroll a lot to see my lists of folders. Is there a way to make them smaller?

Nevermind. I figured it out:
System Preferences > General > Sidebar Icon Size
BTW, that vivid neon blue for, most notably, radio buttons and arrows on pulldown menus, is really annoying.
I miss skeumorphism.

I have 2 Bookmark Toolbar Icons that are the same for 2 different locations. How can I change an Icon to avoid confusion?

First location.

Second location.

BOTH HAVE THE SAME ICON!

Some extensions that you can look at:

[Solved] How can I change firefox icon permantly?

I want to change the Firefox icon in a way that I don't need to redo it after every Firefox Update (I heard rumours that this happens rather often )
So far I just change the entry in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Icon=firefox
-->
Icon=firefox-original
, but this is not persistent! Maybe I searched for the wrong terms, but I couldn't find a solution, yet.
Help appreciated!

Where is the DDE Palette and how can I change the icons in the user vi-libraries?

I am using a german version of LV6.02. I can't find the DDE vi's in the function palette, even though the dde.llb exists alongside the other communication vi-libraries (HiQ, ActiveX). I tried copying dde.llb into user.lib, but the icon doesn't appear (yes, I did restart LV).
The second part of my question: is it possible to edit the icon (symbol) and the name of a user vi-library? The menu EDIT>EDIT FUNCTION AND CONTROL PALETTES does not appear in the LV version I am using.

In order to edit a palette in LabVIEW 6, click on the options button that is on the top row of either the Functions or Tools palette. You can use this to either edit the icon, name or add the DDE functions. I suspect that the DDE functions were removed from the palette because DDE is pretty much obsolete technology. Microsoft wants everyone to use ActiveX instead.

How Can I Change Bookmark Icons?

I was going on vacation and decided to get wifi on the plane. I clicked on the Apple site's bookmark to load the sign in page and now the icon has changed. Is there any way to get the default icon back?

Tap Settings > Safari
Clear cookies, history, and data.
Then restart your iPad.
It may take a few days for all the bookmark icons to re populate.

How can i change the icon next to the frame topic?

Thanks

I don't know.... it couldn't possibly be the JFrame's non-static setIconImage(Image img) method, could it? If you don't know what method to use, give the API a little visit (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/).

How can i change the Director App Icon for Windows?

How can i change the icon for my App for Windows? Director can do this from the Publish Settings. The Custom icon for app doesn't work. I select a .ico file for windows and Director can't attach this to the app.
There is anothe way to do that simple like in Mac with the Contest folder?
Regards
Gino Delgado

You can also try my RiEditor here: http://www.director-online.com/dougwiki/index.php?title=Resource_and_Icon_Editor
However, to answer your original question directly, I suspect there's something wrong with your .ico file as the feature in the publish settings works just fine, last I tried.

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

Anyone?
