changing mac icons

Hi, I have been trying to change my icons for a while. However, I can never find the 'get info' option on any of my icons in the dock. I click them, they open and the 'get info' option is not there! Please help.

The icons on the dock are more like a link to the actual application, and simply use the icon already assigned to the app itself. You need to change the icon for the app in your /Applications folder. Right clicking on the icon there will get you the Get Info option. After changing the icon you may need to drag the icon out of the dock and then back in to see the change.

.. or you can use Candybar : Panic - CandyBar 3 - Change and Organize Your Mac OS X Icons and Dock

old thread. just wondering, is there a free program out there similar to candybar? 28USD is kinda exp just for icon changing

I've used LiteIcon which is free, but I don't know how similar it is to Candy Bar.

i just downloaded liteicon. but i keep getting the error 'unable to save new icon' kinda frustrating after ive used candybar. ahhhhhhhh. still contemplating whether 29USD is too exp a price to pay just to change icons

As for the free way .... Agrees with the above on the candybar bandwagon.

Nice and easy and simple

anw i just realised why there was an error. cos liteicon is pretty specific on the format i think. so just gotta convert everything using img2icns. now works like a charm . thank goodness i dont have to fork out for candybar

Never paid for candybar.... had it 3mths and used it quite a number of times and has never asked me to upgrade ....... The light is shining down on me i thinks haha

hahahah lucky you. i dled it, and there is a counter on the top right telling me how many days i have left. lol. but yea will definitely have gotten candybar if it was much cheaper. now i'll just stick to the manual method of changing icons
