How can I change the look of URL Icons?

I have created several web site URL shortcuts and put them in my Dock (actually I just drug the web site URL's to my Dock, Apple crated the ability for me to do so). I have a iMac desktop, with OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.
My question is: Is there any way to change the look of the icons for the URLs that I have in my dock? (so far I have 5). They all look the same, an @ sign on top of a pedestal with a spring. I would like to at least change the face of the icon, the @ sign, to a picture of my choosing that would enable me to tell the difference of each one at a glance rather than having to slide my mouse pointer over each one to get the name of the web site to pop up.
Below is a picture of three of the icons on my dock. As you can see they all look the same, almost like the "Contacts" icon which is an @ sign on a book cover.
Best regards and still looking for clues and answers,
Peohguy

Your post helped me a lot. After all of the dust cleared and after sorting through all of the answers, the post(s) that solved my problem were from Kenichi Watanabe. However, I did have to go through all of Kenichi's posts to get the complete method that worked. Some of the other posts were difficult for me to comprehend and did not seem to work for me. I probably didn't do them like the writer's intended? Again thanks for taking the time to read my question and dig through your memory bank to come up with the thread that helped.
Best regards,
Peohguy

Yes, you can. It's not particularly complicated, but I'd
suggest you first look in the help file. Search for the term
"customizing UI components". If you have trouble after reading
that, then feel free to ask more specific questions. We'll be happy

How can I change the Jframe Java help Icon

How can I change then Jframe Java help Icon?.
I am using then HelpSet class and HelpBroker.
I want to change the java help icon
Any Idea? thanks. ...

It can be done, but it's ugly...
Add in a listener to your topmost JFrame to sense when the focus is lost, since this happens when a help window comes up. When the focus leaves the main window, check all the windows that are up to see if one is a help window. If so, this will give you a reference to the help window and you can drill down to change what you want.
Here's an example that changes the icon and removes the borders from the javahelp buttons.
WindowListener wndCloser = new WindowAdapter() {
          //A necessarily roundabout method to affect
          //look and feel aspects of the javahelp viewer.
          //(there is no way to get at these components directly.)
          //When the main frame loses focus, it may be because
          //the help viewer was brought up. Look through all
          //the current frames to see if one is a help viewer.
          //If it is, change the look of the help viewer
          //to what we want.
          Frame m_helpFrame = null;
          public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
          if (m_helpFrame != null)
               return;
          Frame[] frames = getFrames();
          for (int k = 0; k < frames.length; k++) {
               if (!(frames[k] instanceof JFrame))
               continue;
               JFrame jf = (JFrame)frames[k];
               if (jf.getContentPane().getComponentCount()==0)
               continue;
               Component c = jf.getContentPane().
               getComponent(0);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JHelp))
               continue;
               m_helpFrame = jf;
               //now that we know the Frame, we can change the title icon
               final Image image2 = <your icon here>
               m_helpFrame.setIconImage(image2);
               JHelp jh = (JHelp)c;
               for (int s=0; s<jh.getComponentCount(); s++) {
               c = jh.getComponent(s);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JToolBar))
                    continue;
               JToolBar jtb = (JToolBar)c;
               //now that we've accessed the toolbar, we can
               //modify the look of the buttons.
               for(int i=0; i<jtb.getComponentCount(); i++) {
                    Component comp = jtb.getComponentAtIndex(i);
                    if(comp instanceof JButton) {
                    JButton button = (JButton)comp;
                    button.setBorder(null);

How can I change the re-direct URL on the WebKit for Captive Portals?

Hi,
I have a guest network at the office that is configured with a captive portal for authentication. My MBP detects that it is behind a Captive Portal when the HTTP WISPr request fails and launches the WebKit (ie. the CNA) as designed and displays the login page. When the login is successful, the Captive Portal displays a success and the WebKit then proceeds to re-direct the browser to http://www.apple.com
Of late, Apple's homepage has become graphic rich and more often than not, loading the page without caching (since the webkit does not cache the webpage loaded) loading Apple's homepage on the guest network takes over 30-90 seconds depending on the traffic on the network. The OS does not allow me to use the network till the page on the webkit has successfully loaded and the "Done" button appears on the webkit and this often becomes irritating.
Is there a method to change the redirect URL to something less resource hungry like http://www.google.com or a less graphic rich Apple page (like http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html)?
I understand that there is a method to disable Captive Portal Handling, ie.
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.captive.control Active -boolean false
However, I don't want to disable Captive Portal Handling in the OS as I don't believe Apps that require internet access will handle the lack of the internet well.
Any hints would be appreciated.
Cheers!

Hey again,
I did have a look at it and the Settings.plist file isn't very helpful for the issue I have.
The file defines the probes and exceptions. So you have the default probe WISPr URL in there (http://www.apple.com/library/test/success.html) and the exceptions for specific SSIDs, as an example, attwifi is in the exception list and uses an alternate probe WISPr URL (http://attwifi.apple.com/library/test/success.html). The configuration does not have parameters that would be used by the CNA for the redirect to http://www.apple.com after a succesful Captive Portal login.
Give it a shot on your laptop, get to a random public wifi like ATT Wifi/Starbucks/Guest Wifi's at office spaces/Boingo etc. and after the successful login, your CNA Webkit will re-direct to http://www.apple.com and the "Done" button won't appear till the page has completely loaded and stays as "Cancel" till the page is loaded.

How can I change the look so it doesn't look like java? pictures included.

Hello everyone.
I made this JPanel in netbeans, and I clicked preview, and it looked very nice. I then copied and pasted that code into Eclipse IDE and ran it. When I ran it, everything lined up the same but it didn't look as good, it looked like Java (not saying I don't like Java but I would like to make it have a different look.)
Is there a way to make it look like it did in the NetBeans preview?
Here's the picture:
The Bottom is me running the code in Eclipse IDE
The top picture is what it looks like in NetBeans Preview option. <---this is how I want it to look like when someone runs my program.
Any ideas how I can make take over the theme of the Operating system? (So if its windows, it looks like windows).
Thanks.

How can I change the look of the folders in OSX?

I have been trying to change or decorate my folders with photos ir icons, but no luck so far..
any thoughts?
thnx

Hi ctroost,
As previous poster said, highlight the folder icon you want to use. Then right click and choose Get Info. A window will open with folder information. On the top, you will see your hightlighted icon. Click on the icon, and then in the toolbar click on Edit-Copy.
Then do the same as above with the folder you want to change. except click on Edit-Paste. Sometimes for me it takes two click for it to happen. But when it does, your original folder, changes to the one you copied.
I prefer a great program for this named CandyBar.....

How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox?

How can I change the ENTIRE look of Firefox? I.e. I want to change all icons that appear in the browser - the loading "gif" the firefox...well... fox of fire in the "about" page, etc. Also what text shows up, for example on the "about:robots" page, and when hovering over a button, etc.
I could do something like that with an earlier version of Firefox, and I found the quotes from the "about:robots" page in the "omni.ja" archive, extracted, changed them and replaced in the original archive, along with other icons, however they do not seem to be implemented. :/
I do not mean changing the desktop or .exe icons, already did that.

How can I change the default URL in hyperlink inspector

How can I change the default URL for link to external page in the Hyperlink Inspector?

You can't change the default url in the inspector.. but an easier way to do it rather than editing the box everytime you need to build a link is to copy the url you want to link to and then highlight the text or image that users will click on and then click enable hyperlink.. when you do that whatever the last url you copied using "command" "C" will automatically be entered into that box and replace "livepage.apple.com"
It saves alot of time if you are doing alot of links.
Hope This Helps!

Hi thieto,
The label you are looking for is af_panelCollection.LABEL_MENUITEM_QBE*
I'm currently writing a blogpost on this issue. In short, you will have to create a skin resource bundle.
In the skin definition, refer to this bundle class.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<skins xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/skin">
<skin>
    <id>mySkin.desktop</id>

    <extends>blafplus-rich.desktop</extends>
    <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
    <style-sheet-name>skins/MySkin.css</style-sheet-name>
    <bundle-name>com.blogspot.lucbors.view.bundles.MySkinBundle </bundle-name>
</skin>
</skins>In this class, adjust the label text to your needs.
package com.blogspot.lucbors.view.bundles;
import java.util.ListResourceBundle;
public class MySkinBundle extends ListResourceBundle {
public MySkinBundle() {
    super();
@Override
public Object[][] getContents() {
    return _CONTENTS;
static private final Object[][] _CONTENTS = {
     {"af_panelCollection.LABEL_MENUITEM_QBE","the text that you want"}
}More in the blogpost
Good luck

How can I change the pitch of a track?

In Garageband 10.03, how can I change the pitch of a track?
It seems that I somehow mistakenly changed the pitch of a guitar track I had recorded, so that al the notes in the track sound like they're about an octave too high.
I don't know how I did that, and how to make the pitch slider appear so that I can try to lower the pitch.
I saw three Youtube videos that show how to change a track's pitch by using the pitch slider, but none of them explain how to make the pitch slider appear.
The pitch slider is supposed to appear in the lower, left corner of my window, but it doesn't appear in my window. Instead the lower, left corner of my window says things like, Region, Notes, Time Quantize, Strength and Transpose.

There's much to learn in Garageband!
If you want a comprehensive introduction to the new GarageBand, have a look at Edgar Rothermich's book:
Edgar's "GarageBand 10.0 How it Works" explains it very well with many screenshots. You can buy it as iBook from the Book store, as PDF, or as printed book from Amazon, Only, this version of the manual has been written for GarageBand 10.0.1, Some features have changed slightly since then.

How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)

Hello,
Here is the problematic:
1° How can i change the color of the text on a button in Roll Over or Click state (Cs5.5)
- I've many button in a doc im creating
- the color of the buttons is white with black stoke & black text
- in roll over state i want them to inverse the color coding (the text white & bottom black)
- currently the text becomes invisible as black on black cant be seen (ive stroked it white but that looks ugly)
- i would just like to know if there is a function made for this?
My other questions:
2° Ive a presentation on which Ive created buttons which tigger pop-up animations
- i have 5 buttons which trigger animations
- the viewer can chose to Click on any of the buttons randomly
- the problem is once the animation is open how can it be close... either:
a) by it self after "40" seconds
b) when ther viewer clicks another button
3° Ive created buttons linking pages..
- "go to page xxx"
- when i do a preview and click on the buttons the links dont take me to the right pages
- is that normal? (maybe in preview its suppose to be like that)
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'
- what should i do?
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.

You should setup Object Styles - these can also include Paragarph Styles that can be triggered when the Style is selected.

I'm not sure what you mean - I don't do files with Animations

Does it work properly when you export it to the finished file?
4° I would like to intergrate YouTube videos in the presentation so they play inside the docment.. when i tried.. it said the 'link isnt a flash video'- what should i do?
InDesign won't link directly to youtube videos. I think your best bet would be to use Downloader to download the video and embed them directly in Indesign.
5° Once i export it into Swf. how how can i visualize it? or put it online?
Thank you for your time.
You can look up how to embed a SWF file into your HTML - but it depends what you mean by "online" there's a dozen ways to get a file "online".

For sideloaded content the nook pulls the metadata from ePub file itself. I would suggest looking at a program like Sigil or Calibre that will let you edit the metadata in the book to make it appear like you want.
For the PDF vs ePub - No, that's the way PDFs work (think of them as graphics, not text), wheres ePubs are Web Pages - so no you can't them to behave exactly alike without converting the files.
