How can you change Sys Prefs. ICON ??

Anyone here know...its driving me crazey. It wont allow me to copy and paste and its not within the HIToolbox file.

Apple made some changes in 10.2, making it a lot more difficult/impossible to change certain icons...

The file you want is /Application/System Preferences.app/Contents/Resources/PrefApp.icns

It has the three different sizes for the icon embedded within it.

Thanks man...so what your saying is i have ot change the icon for all three sizes?...

No, you just need to use an icon creation app to do it, and then save as a .icns file...or if you already have the .icns file from another app, use that.

I haven't really used any for creating custom icons, but Versiontracker has lots of 'em listed:
