Hey, everybody. I have changed my icons once or twice using Candy Bar (trial version, if that means anything) but have a question. How do I go about changing the icons back? I'm not exactly sure how to do it, and although I'm sure this is a dumb question (one I could probably have figured out after a while) I am still quite confused. Thanks in advance for any input.

I am pretty sure you just drag the new icon off the window (top right) and the old one will be restored.

Mbfuller, I have done this, but only some of the icons have changed. Perhaps there is a place where I can download the default icon set. Do you know of anywhere I can do that? Thank you for your help, anyway.

No way I can tell. So what happens to the remaining custom icons when dragging them off of the top right pane?

Before doing all the tedious replacing, try right clicking the icon > Get Info (or Command+I), then click on the small icon preview on the top left of the new open window, and hitting backspace (delete).

Yes, it does. That didn't seem to work, either. However, I figured it out, and did it manually by clicking "get info" on the icon, selecting the icon's image and clicking return. That restored the icon. Thanks for all your help!
