I just recently bought a MBP, and I wanted to change the Applications icon
on my dock to the App Store icon used on the iPhone.

Where can I find that specific icon to use on my dock?
I have searched various sites with no luck.
Thanks : )
 
You don't even need CandyBar.

to change almost any icon system wide, bring up it's info window by choosing the program or folder you wish to change and pressing Command + i at the same time. Or by right clicking and hitting "get info"

You will see that folder/app's icon at the top right. So on the new icon you want to use, do that and simply click on it to choose it, then copy (command c) then choose the info window and icon of the icon you wish to change, and paste it in (command v)

very easy.
 
here is the way i do it. its complicated and make sure you make a back up but it has never failed.

right click on the app you want to change, click show package contents>contents>resources then find the current icon image. this can be tricky sometimes because depending on the program there may be a lot of .icns files in there. once you have located it press the enter key to rename it, copy the name including the .icns part of it. go back to the new icon and again press the enter key to rename it and copy the original icon name into the new one. then drag it into the resources folder. this should replace the old one. make sure that you make a copy of the original if you want to go back to it.
