How to change stacks icon in dock?

I love the stacks feature in Leopard. However, it seems to choose the first application in the stack alphabetically as the one to show in the dock. This is logical (if you stacked all the apps by alphabet, the top one would be the first in alpha order), but I as a user remember a group of apps by a particular signature app. For me, the Graphics stack is more immediately recognizable if the icon is of GraphicConverter than if it is of DigitalColor Meter; don't ask me why.
Is there a way to change the default behavior of stacks icon display in the dock, letting me select the Graphic Converter icon for my Graphics stack? (This would be similar to the "Make Key Photo" command in iPhoto.) I understand that if I ever were to remove my chosen application from the stack, the displayed icon would revert to the default alpha selection.

Actually, I may have spoken too soon. I did as directed, setting it to Display as Folder. Then I went to the actual folder, invoked the Get Info command, and pasted the Graphic Converter icon into the icon preview. This worked just great in the Finder window, but the dock icon remains a folder icon.

  • 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

    Has anyone figured out how to change the icon for an instance of JFileChooser from the coffee cup to something else?

    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.

    if you are talking about the NewsBrowser of Knowledge Management (Content Management -> Explorer -> News), you should see a button "Edit" on the right side of the news.
    Press this button and fill in a new URL in the input field "Image URL". After saving the new settings, the new image should be displayed.

  • 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.

  • How to change screen icons and album art?

    Does anyone know of an application, or otherwise know how to change the screen icons individually, one at a time? I don't mean adding or changing to a different summerboard. Ideally, I'd like to change a few of the icons to either photographs from my files, or to some other photo or drawing of my choosing.
    While I'm asking questions, another one concerns album covers in iTunes. ITunes gives you the ability to add more than one cover to an album but I can't see how to display one other than the original one added. Also, I can't see how to delete a cover once it's been added. I was manually adding cover art for albums that didn't have any and accidently put the wrong picture on one album. Nothing I have been able to do allows me to delete that picture. I did add the correct picture but I can't get it to display. Of course, whatever I do in iTunes I'd like for it to properly sync to the touch.
    Any ideas???

    As for your first question, there is no way of changing icons without jailbraking, which we're not allowed to discuss here.
    To view more than one artwork, simply click on the little arrow appearing in the artwork window.
    To delete it, right-click, Get Info -> Artwork and delete the picture.
    Hope this helps.
