I use O2 mobile broadband with an application called 'MobileConnect',
The application has no icon, I want to change it.
I google the methods, but "Changing icon by 'Get Info' and copy&paste" does not work. link: Mac 101: Change your icons
I have the .icons files.

Maybe coz it has no initial icon(just something like InterfaceBuilder)?

How to give it an icon?

Thanks!

Welcome to the Forum. How did u try it. Once you have 'Get Info' of the one you want to copy then click once on icon in top of window and you should see a outline appear around it - then copy. Do the same with one you want replaced, click once to highlight, then Command V or Edit/Paste to paste.

Yes, I did what you said, but when I was to paste to the app, nothing happened except a system sound "Bing", like this. :(

You can try CandyBar, just drag the icon into candybar then when its in there drag it to where the MobileConnect icon should be ..
Not saying it is a solution but this is a icon changing App

Goodluck

Cheers
