Changing Snow Leopard icons

[Zipp]

Hello,

I installed Snow Leopard today on a Mac Mini.Installing without worries. By cons, many of my preferences (particularly in terms of appearance) were changed. As the icons of Apple applications.Only problem is that since I installed Snow Leopard, I can not change their icons as I did before. so can any one know how to change it ?
thanks

yes same thing is here with me .My method is simple: Opening a png with Preview > copy, open information application > selection of the icon and paste. But, I can not copy directly with Preview (the feature is grayed out, or it should select the image with the right tool) and I can not paste on ALL Apple applications. So I find myself with a dock with the Apple applications impossible to change. Someone have an idea?

ITunes.app right click > show package contents > Contents > Resources
and it must change iTunes.icns.

For Safari: compass.icns
Mail To: app.icns
QuickTime: QuickTimePlayerX.icns
To Address book: AppIcon.icns
IPhoto '08: The normal method works.

I read the instructions, getting the files to change ..Afterwards, I ask myself: but what does he mean by change ? That's where I am. I uploaded my icons. What should I do? Thank you for your help.

No doubt that we should rename new icons under the same name as the original ones and put these new icons with their new name in the same folder as the originals! I have not Snow Leopard and therefore could not try ... but I guess that's the procedure ... it is surely useful to keep it safe somewhere the original icons and not crash them with new icons else losing them permanently! If the new icon does not immediately replace the old in the dock, try to transfer the application from the dock and back. The problem arises often in Leopard!

To change the icons of the Apple applications (Safari, Mail, iTunes, etc ...):

1. Find the original icon (right click on the text / display the package contents / Contents / Resources)

2. The icon has a. Icns (*)

3. Copy and paste the icon into a backup folder to be able to recover in case.

CAUTION:
The icon should replace the original should be mandatory in. Icns (**)And have the same name (be careful with uppercase and lowercase)

4. -Rename your new icon.

5 - Click on the icon to select it, then cmd + c (copy)

6. Cmd + v (paste) into the Resources folder of the application (authenticate if requested)


(*) Names of some icons of origin:

For iTunes: iTunes.icns
For Safari: compass.icns
Mail To: app.icns
QuickTime X QuickTimePlayerX.icns
To Address book: AppIcon.icns

(**) To change an image format. Png file. Icns, I use IconComposer that is, I believe, on the installation CD that came with your Mac
