Replacing Finder icon

did this change since 10.2.4? i went to change Finder.png in the dock and it didnt change.

Put the new icon (Finder.png) i wanted on the Desktop then....

su
cd ~/Desktop
mv Finder.png /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/

then:

cd /Library/Caches
rm -rf com.apple.dock.username.cache (or something)
logout

then i logged out and logged in and low and behold the old one was still there. anybody have any idea? this was how i always did it in 10.2.3 and it worked fine

A small question when did you copy in the new finder.png?

I see the move, unless that is when you placed in the new finder.png.

ya i just moved the new one from the desktop... tried to keep it simpler than cp from my icons folder and blah blah

The real trick is removing the Finder icon from the Dock altogether...

Try downloading Candybar from http://iconfactory.com . You can change the finder and trash icons for free.

No, not changing them. Removing them from the dock altogether is the goal. Especially the Finder icon; the Trash would be a nice fringe benefit as well.

Sounds like he wants it to change it to me but a way to remove the finder icon you would have to quit the app and drag it out using TinkerTool to add a quit command to the menu that appears when you right click the icon.

I'm saying we have different goals. He wants to change them; I want to remove them.
Candybar is the easiest solution for changing them.

I don't want the Finder icon at the head of the Dock; I would rather have YADAL's icon at the fore.

I want to remove the Trash icon so I can replace it with a custom application I am developing (Trash+, which provides a trash caching functionality for easy data recovery of deleted files).

well you might not Trash+ if the rumors about 10.3 and its ability to recover data.
