[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1442928, member: 38864"] I'm not sure why you can't replace the Trash icon. I just did, running Mountain Lion and CandyBar. Make sure you register CB and try again. As for iPhoto and other Apple apps... the reason appears to be the permissions and ownership set for those apps. Everything I have that has been downloaded from the App Store has "system" set as the owner with read/write permissions. I can't change the icons on any of those with CandyBar. All the other apps that I've installed from outside the App Store can be changed. This seems a bit odd to me... the system icons can be replaced but the ownership for those files would be "system" also. Hmmm. I'll try to figure this out. EDIT: actually the developers have already stated the reason. It's due to the code signing of App Store apps. [url]http://www.panic.com/blog/2012/08/candybar-mountain-lion-and-beyond/[/url] [/QUOTE]
