[QUOTE="Kaatje, post: 1635870, member: 342234"] Hello! This is my first post here and I have a question about changing app icons. I really dislike the Chrome icon so I decided to change it. I will now explain how I did this: 1. click [I]show in Finder[/I] to get to the Applications folder 2. click on the app and [I]show information[/I] 3. open a new icon (file type .ico) in Preview 4. select the first icon/image (as there are different sizes in one .ico file) by cmd+a 5. copy icon 6. go back to the information window and click on small icon right under the 'traffic lights' 7. paste new icon there 8. close information window 9. remove Chrome from dock and put it back This does change the icon. But then, a few days later it changes back to the old one. This has happened a few times, and so far only with Chrome. What can I do about this? Is there another way of changing the icon? Does it have to do with Chrome updating automatically? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
