How to change icons on desktop

The applicaton icons on my disktop show Apple's generic application icon not the manufactures software icon. How do I change this?

You need to be much more specific. Also you shouldn't be storing much on your desktop, Apple advises against that. If you want application icons shown, put them in your Dock.

How to Change Icon of Desktop Application?

Friends, i am developing one small software using Java Desktop Application in Netbeans. I want to change the icon of my application (cup of coffee). I have tried this code: URL url = new URL("myApplication/resourcesresources/camera.png");
Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image img = kit.createImage(url);
this.getFrame().setIconImage(img);
and
URL url = new URL("F:/Documents and Settings/Selva/My Documents/NetBeansProjects/HashCodeCracker/src/myApplication/resourcesresources/camera.png");
Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image img = kit.createImage(url);
this.getFrame().setIconImage(img);
i have searched in google and nothing works . Can anyone solve this problem?
Note:
This code works for me:
Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
Image frameIcon = kit.getImage("F:\\Documents and Settings\\Selva\\My Documents\\NetBeansProjects\\HashCodeCracker\\src\\hashcodecracker\\resources\\PasswordCrackerIcon.jpg");
this.getFrame().setIconImage(frameIcon);
But i am creating software. So i can not specify the location of the Image in one path. The user may run the software from anywhere. So the above code can not be used.
Thanks

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 Firewall remoted desktop port?

How to change Firewall remoted desktop port
I have changed the listening port in the registry.
I added a rule for incoming for RDT.
I can find the rules, and other items in the Firewall lists.
But I cannot find how to edit to change the port number.
Other threads indicate just added an open port not designating RDT as the program.
Guidance please.

>So, when inserting a new rule and choosing RDT from the program list automatically inserts the default port number?
My fault. You should not select RDT from the program list, but instead
select the radio button for port, then click next, select TCP, and add in
the port number, then next and continue on with setting allow connection
and then when does this rule apply.

How to change icons of a JTree node dynamically

Hi all!
I want to change icon associated with a node dynamically ( i.e. after the tree has being displayed). How can i achieve this?
Can any one provide me a sample code snippet.
Thanks in advance
Murali

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.
Can any one help me in this issue
public class CustomCellRenderer
          extends          JLabel
          implements     TreeCellRenderer

2012R2 VDI how to change "local virtual desktop creation location" for collection

Hi,
I want to change "local virtual desktop creation location" for existing collection but this setting is grayed. This location is not exists anymore and I cannot add new VM's to collection.
If there is no way to do this if it possible to create new collection and move old VM's there?
Thanks!

Hi Sergey,
I assume that you mean virtual desktop storage location, which I don’t think that we can change this setting for an existing collection.
You can create a new collection, during the creation process, you will be able to select a different storage location for new VMs.

Great thanks!!!
All DONE
Good tips. I was actually trying to restore my icons.
However, having reactivated the icons I'm now kept awake at night by the flashing blue light which comes in to the bargain.
Is there anyway of having the icons on my desktop but disabling the flashing light when the phone goes on to standby?

How to remove icon from desktop

I have added an external hard drive (for back up.) It has a USB connection. Its icon appears on my desktop. It is only so much clutter, and I would like to make it disappear, as I have done with the icon of the internal HD. Can that be done? If so, how?

You do it the same way you did with your internal HD.
Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Show these items on the desktop -> External disks

How to change icon size in iWorks media viewer

Hi
I have just upgraded my wife's macbook from 10.6.8 to 10.8.2 and she uses pages a lot
The media viewer in pages seems to have just one size for the icons of the photos. You used to be able to drage a slider to increase the size
I have tried all the ctrl key type ideas but nothing
Why do they delete features that are d=so useful or hide them in non obvious palecs and make it hard for the less technical user.
I have been using pages since the first and a Apple since 1980 and support 500 machines - most using pages so I would appreciate any help.
Mountain Lion has made Pages a little less friendly
Yours

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]

How to change icon size when uploading pics?

So I'm uploading pics to facebook, into an album where I'll put multiple pics. The problem is that when I click upload on facebook, and the "upload finder window" comes up, even though I choose icon as the view way, they are at the smallest size, and barely recognizeable.
Note that I'm not talking about a regular finder window. I know how to get those to come to the right size. I have already set my preferences in finder to show all icons at 128x128, but it doesnt seem to affect the browser upload finder... this problem shows up with all browsers too (safari, chrome, firefox)
I'm at my wit's end because I have to upload multiple pictures every two or 3 hours for work, and this is jsut ridiculous.
