1. - click on finder > click on view > show view options > click on show item info

2. - select the icon you want to use, Apple + i it, select the icon in that window preview, apple + c. Now go to the icon you want to customize, Apple + i it, then select the icon and ctrl + v.

Voila.

to easily change non-system icons, use Pixadex from iconfactory.com. I think it has a free trial period.

@Ludge : How can I do it with Pixadex ? I can't find this option.

thanks mate

In pixadex, you select the icon you want to have, then drag the icon you want to change into the preview on the left bottom side of the window and...

Voila (or wala, right bz?)

apple shift 3 ....

There is a Help tool on Mac OS, castroman...

#254096

I know how you feel Castroman, it is hard at first to adjust to a mac because you are so used to windows. It took me a couple days to get used to it.

I don't know if you know this yet, but control + click on the mouse = right click.

After using your mac for a while, go back to windows for a few mins, it is weird as hell. lol
