I used the app candybar to change the icons on my dock, great little app, but the trial version only lasts 15 days, is there any other free program to change the icons on your dock??? any suggestions would be great
 
Not being funny, but... if you reckon it's a great little app, why not pay the $12.95 to buy the full version?

not as far as i know
(others will maybe know of one)
but to do it manually-- very easy

find the icon itself on your machine
<control + click> "Show in Finder"

then <Command + i> on the app/icon itself

then do the same w/ the icon you want

so you will have 2 info windows open next to one another
one w/ the icon u want & one w/ the old icon --

click once on the one you want
then copy it <command +c>
then paste it over the one you are tired of
by clicking once on the older one and paste <command +v>

and there you are
you might have to open the program for it to change the icon on the dock
but ur all set 🙂

happy dock changing!
 
Yeah, you don't need a program to change the dock icons.

Change the program icon, then take the program out of the dock and then redrag it in when it has the new icon. Bang.
 
Someone in the apple forums said that by doing that, the program they did it to didn't work anymore

I've been using Candybar (still on trial, though), and love it. I'd just go ahead and buy it. Doesn't cost tons or anything. 🙂

Yay! Just bought it! A little gift from the parents for the good grades....🙂
But the last grade gift was a 5G iPod. 😱 CandyBar's a little step down from that, eh? 😛
 
As I understand it Candybar helps you easily change the system default icons (folders, etc) in a general way, so each default item pops up with your new look, rather than having to change each one.

You can easily change each app icon on your dock without paying for software. If you want to make more sweeping changes to the look of all of your computer's icons, Candybar may be the way to go..for only $12
