Replacement of Mac system icons

In fact, the Apple System replacement icon is very simple, in general, as is said in many posts in the copy (command+c) paste (comd+v) is done. But for the novice I think it is not so simple (at least I encountered a problem), the first Apple icon files need to ICNS format, and we usually take JPG, PNG and other formats to replace the inevitable, the result will only show that file format icon.

The specific steps are as follows:

1: We first need to find some pretty icons in the online PNG format most, where I recommend a website: http://www.desktx.com/pc/icon/png/

2: Download our favorite icon is to convert these PNG icons to our Apple System icon file format Icns format that will need to use a software, is img2icns download address: http://www.img2icnsapp.com/downloads/ Img2icns.zip

3: Drag the PNG icon you want to use and generate the Icns icon

4: To copy the generated Icns icon with Command+c, the next thing to do is to replace the icon.

5: We find a need to replace the icon software or folders, if it is in the dock above the software we want to right-click in the Finder display, and then right-show introduction here I take photobooth as an example

As the figure, we point to the original icon in the upper left corner will become highlighted, and then command+v paste hehe is not done!!

6: So the icon has been replaced, but the original dock bar above the icon has not changed, we need to take it out of the dock bar to throw away, and then put the new top on the OK

7: If you want to change back to the original icon only need to replace the icon delete deleted on it.

The advantage of this substitution is that you want to change what icon to change what icon, and very simple!

Of course, you can use CandyBar software combined with the Internet to download the PNG icon can better change the icon!candybar software needs to crack the Chinese. Let's find out for ourselves.
