[Solved] How can I change firefox icon permantly?

I want to change the Firefox icon in a way that I don't need to redo it after every Firefox Update (I heard rumours that this happens rather often )
So far I just change the entry in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
Icon=firefox
-->
Icon=firefox-original
, but this is not persistent! Maybe I searched for the wrong terms, but I couldn't find a solution, yet.
Help appreciated!

You cannot directly. If you have a jFrame (e.g.) with your own icon you can use one of the JDialog costructors using (Component owner, ... ). Then the dialog will display the same icon.

Even I downloaded Firefox 5.0 En-US version, Firefox's menus are in Turkish language but I want them in English-US. (File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) How can I change Firefox's language to En?

How can I change the Icon on the JFrame?

Everytime, when I create an application, the default javalogo will show on the left top concern of the application which using JFrame, how can I change it to the other?

Have you tried using the setIconImage method like this:
JFrame F=new JFrame();
F.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("myIcon.gif"));
Here is what the API doc says:
setIconImage
public void setIconImage(Image image)
Sets the image to be displayed in the minimized icon for this frame. Not all platforms support the concept of minimizing a window.
Parameters:
image - the icon image to be displayed. If this parameter is null then the icon image is set to the default image, which may vary with platform.

[Solved] I can't change folder icons in my home folder (XFCE)

Just in case some user have disabled signatures:
XFCE 4.10
Thunar
AwOken icons
Hello,
I am currently using the AwOken icon set, which I downloaded on deviantart.com.
So... I'd like the typical folders
Pictures
Videos
Music
Documents
etc.
to use the corresponding icons from, well, acutally any icon set I am using. But when I right-click on any folder, I can't change the Icon (second tab). Am I doing it wrong or is that a bug?
edit
So I tested it with a lot of other default XFCE themes and themes from the AUR (Greybird, Albatross and so forth). I can't change any icon. That's too bad, I have no clue whatsoever what the problem is, I was hoping I could change the bookmarks' icons in Thunar's sidebar as well.

How can I change the icon for incoming messages on iChat?

I already changed the icon for the ichat app, but whenever i get a new message it reverts back to the original icon with a number on the corner. I have an icon for the alternating messages i just don't know how to change it. HELP?!

Hi,
It's a long time since I changed an Icon on anything on my computer.
The icon for the App is stored in the App and there are two ways to change it.
You can do a Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) on the app itself and then Paste a new icon to the top field.
The other way is to edit/change the icns file in the App itself.
Right/Control Click the app and choose Show Package Contents.
Open the Contents folder then Resources and the iChat.icns file is in there
I am presuming that if you use the first method - the bit that puts the Red area with the number in it uses something else (possibly the icns file)
I cannot find any "supply" of the red numbers. In fact I use Chax (An iChat Add-On) that changes this to the first part of the first IM that is not read - which suggests the red area is the important bit.
If you do try to edit the .icns file I would save the Original first.

How can i change the icon in JDialog

Hi,
I have created a regular JDialog with new JDialog("Title");
My problem is, the JDialog has the standard Java Icon.
Is there a way to change this icon to a custom icon.
I know you can change the icon in a JFrame, but haven't found anything how to change it in a JDialog.
Any idea?

Yep,
there is no way to do it apart from using a different constructor:
.... = new JDialog(Frame owner,String title)
If you have set the Icon in owner , your JDialog will have the same icon.

How can I change Firefox language without having to download it again?

Hi,
I'd like to know how I can change firefox language, without having to download and re-install it again. I read there is a way to do it, but I just can't find the language file I have to download. (I have firefox in french, and i want to set it in spanish)
thanks for your answers

You need an English language version and there is no en-US language pack in Firefox 3.6. If you do not want the download the en-US version then you can install the en-GB language and switch to that version and remove the Spanish es-ES language pack from the chrome folder in the Firefox program folder.
You can find all language pack here:
http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.6.11/win32/xpi/.
You can install language pack just like extensions.<br />
You can set the pref "general.useragent.locale" to the preferred language ("en-GB") on the about:config page.<br />
You can open the about:config page via the location bar, like you open a web site.<br />
Use the Filter bar at the top of that page to quickly locate the pref.

If you need the en-US dictionary then look here:<br />

How can I change the icon for the bookmarks menu button

Using linux, the default icon for the bookmarks menu button is quite ugly. Is there a way to change the icon for the button with some code in userChrome.css ?

After several intents, I found a solution.
This is my userChrome.css file:
@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
toolbarbutton[class="toolbarbutton-1"]#bookmarks-menu-button image[class="toolbarbutton-icon"] {
list-style-image: url("bookmark_gray.png") !important;
-moz-image-region: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 24px) !important;}
Probably it's messy but works.

How can I change 'jpg' Icon to a thumbnail sized photo?

hello all,
When i connect a camera, phone etc to my mac and browse its images instead of getting lots of easy to search through thumbnail images all I can get are the 'jpg' icons. If I want to find a specific photo that I have not yet named I have to go through all the 'icons' and double click them to see what image they are.
Is there anyway to change the settings so instead of icons I will have little thumbnail images I can browse through?
cheers
alex

If you use Image Capture to move your photos from the camera to the Mac, there's a preference that will "create custom file icons that look like images", etc.
To add custom icons and file comments to downloaded image files:
Connect your digital camera or scanner, click Options, and then click Options again.
Select "Create custom icons" and "Add item info to Finder file comments."
I don't know about iPhoto.

How can i change firefox's default writing styles?

Articles appear in a font style that i want to change i have tried from options > content > Advanced
and the set the style i want but still the problem pessimists.

Hi Solara, did you uncheck the checkbox for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"? Then your font choices should override what the web page author selected. (You might need to reload the page after making this change, for example, by pressing Ctrl+r.) This article has more background on the settings: [[Settings for fonts, languages, pop-ups, images and JavaScript]].
If your font is being used but the appearance is unsatisfactory for one reason or another, could you describe the problem in more detail? In some cases, when it is hard to describe in words, it's helpful to post a screen shot. This article has some tips on that: [[How do I create a screenshot of my problem?]]
Last but not least...
Could you check your actual Firefox version here:
Help > About Firefox
The forum recorded version 12, which is obsolete and insecure, so if that is correct, you should update ASAP. If there is something holding you back from updating, what is it? There may be a solution.
If you ''do'' have the current version of Firefox, this article might help: [[Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version]].
