generic folder icons 10.4

[kettle]

In 10.3 the generic system folder was an easy thing to replace. I'm wondering how to do it in 10.4. Will I need to dig about in a combined rsrc file?

10.4 is great but now I'm back with those blue pinstripe folders. eek 😱

There's always CandyBar.

Yeah, I could pay some money to be none the wiser.

A little on the overkill side of things just to change on generic folder.

any other ideas?

can't you still do it the old way (cmd+i, then copy and paste in a new icon), or am I missing the point? 😕

An old method of changing System Icons in OS X was to open SystemIcons.rsrc with Iconographer and change icons. It was located in 10.3 in /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemIcons.bundle/Contents/Resources/ Though this may no longer work in Tiger. I don't know I use CandyBar now. It's just easier.

/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
