Home icon in 10.2

I'm one that goes overboard sometimes on icons on my computer.



On 10.1.x I edited the toolbar icons was a easy.

simply replace the .icns in the



system>libary>coreservices>finder>reso urces



to whatever icon I wanted.



In 10.2 they seem to have reorganized it a lot.



I have been able to find most of them searching around. I.E the "computer" icon is actually imac.icns in "systemsicon.bundle"



but no matter how hard I try, I can't find the "Home" icon[The little house we're so acustomed to seeing]



Anyone know where it resides in now?

    /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemIcons.bundle/Contents/Resources/SystemIcons.rsrc



    icon resource ID -21684



    Try changing that. You'll probably have to restart for changes to take effect.

    Is the "computer" icon changing depending on what your model is?

    Not so far with any builds I've used (haven't used the supposed GM)

    No, the computer icon does not change. It has not changed based on your computer in *any* build of Jaguar.

    Would be a cool feature though.

    The 17" iMacs, which were running 10.2, did have new iMac home icons when I saw them in a Apple store.

    That's becuase the OS was probly a very early build of Jaguar. That and the debugger code might have had a part in certian things not being able to be changed.

    Actually, Master, the flat panel iMac icon *is* the default for the home icon on all installs of any recent Jag builds. It's been there since at least the 6C8x builds.

    Well thanks to starfleetx it worked. A little more difficult then previous releases.



    A possible bug that I've also stumbled apon is that you cant change the icon for the "utlities" folder in appication.



    To all visutal cue's it's just a normal folder. Either it's a glitch from upgrading, a glitch in general, or apple's weird way of shaking their finger about what to do with your OS.



    The is reminisent of the 10.0 HD thing heh.



    And yes, it's the new iMac.icns for all computers. They didn't make an icon for any other models that I stumbled apon.



    Well It's changable anyway.
