1.) Candybar. http://www.panic.com/candybar/
Whoops....didn't read it properly. You show the info of the certain folder/drive then click the icon at the top so it has the blue glowish stroke around it then paste the custom icon into it. The icon has to be put through Pic2Icon or some other app if it hasn't been done before.
2.) Silk http://www.unsanity.com
For an individual icon change, you do not necessarily have to run the icon through Pic2Icon. The icon just needs to be in .icns format. Also, if you are wondering, to undo the icon change, simply right click on the item, "get info", click on the smaller image again (until you see the blue shadow) and hit "delete" and presto....the original icon is back.
You will also need TinkerTool (free app) for changing system fonts. Use both Silk and TinkerTool together to change menu and system fonts.
I use CandyBar to change system icons. If you only want to change a folder or something; do it manually.
PDF Guide to change icons manually.
The best thing to change individual icons is Pixadex. You select an icon in Pixadex library and drag the item which icon you want to change to icon preview area. Simple as that.
About fonts: I never used Tinkertool, Silk does it's job pretty well.
Silk does everything I need. Pixadex is more for organizing icons, Candybar is better for replacing.
I use them as the 1-2 combo
