How to change icon images in Mavericks?

I am having difficulty changing some Desktop Icon images in Mavericks.
Some times I can (Macintosh HD), sometimes I cannot (Applications folder or alias), for example.
Never had problem prior to 10.9

To change your Applications folder icon:
In Finder, press shift-command-G, paste in the following and press Go..
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/ApplicationsFol derIcon.icns
Change the name of ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns to ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns.backup
Confirm this change by selecting Use .backup and enter your password
Move the .icns file you want to use for your Applications folder and rename it ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns
Enter your password when prompted
Restart your computer, open Terminal, type
killall Finder
and press return.
You should have a new Applications folder icon.
To revert, delete the new file, change the name of the original file back to ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns and follow the rest of the steps above.
[NB: This change may not stick through future OS updates]

  • HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

    Hello dear Mac users
    How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
    I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
    For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
    I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
    I hope someone will understand my needs...
    Thanks!

    Thanks BeerbarX
    You can't change the preview image for anything

    In the case of a music file, it will be that generic black box with a note on it
    That is exactly what I'm asking about !
    MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
    How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
    Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

  • How to change icon of a Folder-track?

    By Folder-track I mean the Folder in Arrange window that is created from "packing reions". Is that even possible in LogicPro7 - to change it's icon?
    I mean I know how to change icons for my audio tracks, audio-instrument tracks. And it would be nice if I can assign different icons for different Folder-tracks.
    I did not find how to do that

    It is possible... use option-command-hold on the icon of the folder in a track in the arrange and up pops the many icons to choose from.
    You can set the icon to something other than the folder.
    To make different folders I guess you would have to do some image editing
    and make your own icons but that is pretty easy.
    Put your user create icons here...
    ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images/Icons
    and logic will load your numbered image file instead of the default ones that
    Logic would normaly use.
    Note: 1.png is the file name of the regular folder icon.

  • How to change the images dynamically in a table.

    Hai,
                     How to change the images dynamically in a table based on the condition in webdynpro abap.
    Edited by: Ravi.Seela on Oct 13, 2011 2:17 PM

    This has been much discussed earlier. Do search posts.
    For your scenario i would do the following.
    inside your node which is binded to the table, i create a new node image with cardinality 1 ..1 and a attribute called path of type string.
    create a  supply function for the node image .
    Supply method now has a Element (Parent element ) and node.
    Based on your record in element, set the right image source to path attribute and bind the node.
    This will make sure that the framework calls the image supply function for every row in a table.

  • How to change background image in existing template?

    Hi 
    Current website needs overall change in background image which is already set in template. Is there anyone who knows how to change background image in existing templates?

    Make a friend with firebug &  you could find yourself from where it is getting applied.
    For the website you have given the background image it is using is [1] and it is getting set in css of body tag [2]. So Find the css at [3] and modify it OR replace [1] with other image with same file name.

  • How to change icons of a JTree node dynamically

    I have created CustomCellRenderer and i'm calling this class as follows
    tree.setCellRenderer((TreeCellRenderer) new CustomCellRenderer(true));
    The boolean value for the constructor (in this case it's true) will be set to
    a local variable in the CustomCellRenderer class. Then upon clicking a node in the tree the boolean value (true) is set and the icon for that node should be changed as specified in the CustomCellRenderer class.
    When i click on a node all the icons of that tree are disappearing.

  • How to change the image of the favourtie portlet

    Can anyone tell me how can I change the image of the favourite
    portlet ? I found that I can only change the title text but not
    the image. Any clue ?
    Thanks.
    -Maggie

    This is a hard coded image in the 3.0.x releases of Portal.
    If you want to change it, the only way you can do it today is to
    replace the ml_us.gif file which you will find in
    $ORACLE_HOME/portal30/images
    This is the image for the US language, there will be one for
    each language installed. e.g. ml_f.gif for French.
    If you replace that gif file with an image of your own using the
    same file name, then yours will be rendered rather than the
    default.
    Regards
    Jason

    Substitution strings are meant to be static, like global constants.
    If you need some variable stuff, use application level items and set them using Application level computations/processes
