CandyBar is great but sort of extreme if you just want to change one icon. Plus CandyBar isn't free so once the trial is over, it is hard as hell to get rid of some of the system level icons. I suggest simply copying and pasting the desired icon on top of the desired file/drive. This can be done by the following steps:
- Go to an icon website like
http://www.iconfactory.com/
- Download a folder of icons (NOT an .icontainer file)
- Highlight (single click) the icon you like, right (ctrl) click the icon, select "Get Info", click and highlight the icon image at the very top, copy it (apple + c).
- Highlight (single click) the icon or drive you want to change, right (ctrl) click the icon, select "Get Info", click and highlight the icon image at the very top, press paste (apple + v).
I recommend changing icons this way if you only want to change the icons for drives or folders. It is also very safe. If you want to revert to the original Aqua/MacOSX icon, just "Get Info" on the icon, select the icon image as before, and now do cut (apple + x).
Enjoy Mac OS X dude.
