How to change folder icons in Yosemite?

Hi There,
I have a bunch of dropbox folders aliased to my desktop - in Yosemite they display as OSX folders with arrows.
In previous versions of OSX, I've been able to apply the Dropbox App icon to better distinguish between dropbox items and OSX folders.
Besides the usual Command + I and Copy / Paste - how do you apply icons to Finder items in Yosemite?
Cheers

Hi cmscss,
Thanks for the question. In OS X Yosemite you’ll use the same method to apply custom icons for folders and files, using the Get Info screen and pasting your custom icon, which it sounds like you already know how to do. Were you looking for something different?
For more information, check out the following resource:

How I change the icon for iTunes songs?

When I drag iTunes songs onto my desktop the icon is white with a gray iTunes icon. How can change this icon for all of my iTunes songs?

Thanks Patrick. I used Control-Click on the actual audio file on my desktop opened the Show View Options menu and turned off the icon preview option. That changed my icons from gray with a white background to red with a white background which is exactly what I wanted. You pointed me in the right direction. Appreciate it.

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 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.

Can I change folder icons on my 5s?

Can I change folder icons on my 5s?

What folders? If you mean the folders you can create to organise apps, then no, those icons are automatically generated from the icons of the apps inside the folder.

Changing folder icons issue

I'm suddenly having a problem in snow leopard (mac os x 10.6.8) that I haven't had before in older versions. When I use copy and paste to change a folder's icon, the folder then contains an 'icon exec' file that I do not want there. If I trash it, the icon on the folder gets trashed as well. Anyone know how I can change the icon without having to now include that 'icon exec' file in the folder? Thanks.

Just rebooted into 10.6.8 to see if its behavior was any different than 10.7.2, which I now use most of the time.
No change - in Lion or Snow Leopard, when I added a custom icon to a folder, an invisible file was added to the folder's contents. This file is named just "icon" with no extension, and does not display the exec icon - it displays the generic blank page with turned-down-corner icon. I used FileBuddy to do the looking, since invisibles are visible to it.
The icon I used as a source was one derived from a JPEG image. I opened the image in Preview, did a Command-A (select all) to select the entire image, then Command-C (copy) to place it on the clipboard, then did a Get Info on the folder's icon and pasted (Command-V) the image onto the icon in the upper left.
Perhaps the difference stems from the nature of the source image you are using?

Changing folder icons

I know this has been brought up, but I have a slightly different problem.
I can highlight, copy, and paste the images I want onto the folders, but all that ever shows up on the Get Info window is a generic image preview, not the icon I want to copy.
I have 'Show icon preview' in the view options checked, but all it does is give me the icon image on the desktop, not on the Get Info window.
When I tried to get around this by copying the icon from Preview, the folder has a black box around it. There is no black box around the icon anywhere else, only when I use it as a folder image.
This is what I'm dealing with:

Is there any way for me to get around this completely? Buying software is not an option.

*How to change icons*
To do so, highlight the icon........
Hold down the Option Key......
Go to File>Get Info......
In the existing window, click the existing icon, and then choose Edit>Copy
Next, click the icon to which you want to transfer the copied icon. Its icon now appears in the Info dialog box that’s still open on the screen.
Click the icon in the dialog box, and this time choose Edit>Paste.
Viola!!!!! You now have a new icon.
Or you can download this easy to use simple shareware program called CandyBar. This easy to use piece of software is also less time consuming.

Change Folder Icon in Functions Palette

Hey, have two questions. I'm writing an instrument driver for an instrument I have here at work, and I have the VI's working. I have the VIs organized and inserted into a library, which is in a project including that library and an examples folder (so basically the way Labview downloaded instrument drivers are set up). I put all this in the instr.lib folder, and the VIs show up in the functions palette just fine. So, based on that setup, my questions are:
1) How do I change the folder icons (not the VI Icons - already did that) in the functions palette?
2) How do LV instrument drivers hide the "Examples" folder and simply display the VIs from the "Public" Folder? (they don't appear to be marked private)
Thanks!

I think the secret is in having an mnu file, which defines what will appear in the palettes. You can create one by editing the palettes (under Tools>>Advanced) and there you should be able to remove items and to edit the palette icon by right clicking it. You should probably also make sure that the mnu file is saved in the same folder, so that you can have it in other PCs. Note that the palette editor has this annoying confirmation dialog which tends to hide under other windows and which you need to get to finish editing, so move it to somewhere you can find it before you start editing.
Another option is using VIPM to install the driver, and that will also allow you to edit a palette.

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 an icon of a button

hi guys,
i want to change the icon of a button when it is click
how can i do it?
thanks

You register a listener for that button, e.g.:
button.addActionListener(new...)
Then add code to the listener class:
button.setIcon(new...)
If you've not come across listeners yet though, you'll need to explore these a bit first.
Andy.
