Icons

I have an icon I want to use and it is an .icns file. How am I supposed to apply it to an application?

Select the file, and do a Get Info on it. Click on the icon image in the Get Info window and enter CMD-C (copies it). Now click on the application in question, and do a Get Info on it. Click on the icon image in its Get Info window and type CMD-v. This pastes your previously copied icon. Done!

When I click Get Info on the .icns file, it shows this.



What do I CMD-C on?

The apps icon is an .icns file, the same as the replacement icon that you want to use.

This is a tricky procedure but not impossible. Follow the instructions from this link. (Clicky)

There is a warning with this type of modding.

Warning: Before you modify or replace the ICNS make sure to create a backup of the application you're modifying. If you follow these instructions, you do so at your own risk.
