Description
This icon will make your desktop 20 percent cooler, I promise. Make sure to check my gallery if you want more icons.
Icon changing mini tutorial:
First of all, save the .png file to your computer.
Then use this: [link] website to convert the .png image into a .ico file. Windows icons use the .ico format, so this step is 100% necessary. When asked for the size check all the boxes.
Once you do that, go to the folder you want to customize and make sure you aren't in library view by right clicking and clicking the "open folder location" option.
If there is not an "open folder location" option, then you are not in library view and can just skip that part.
Right click the folder and go to "properties" and click the "customize" tab. Then click "change icon" and then "browse" and find the location that you saved your .ico file. Select the .ico and hit ok.

You probably messed up something while converting. If you only want this one then try re converting and make sure you select all the size options, or you could download the first 12 here [link] already converted and ready to use.

You have to change the text box at the bottom of the selection window to images instead of icons.

if any other mac users couldn't use the "mac" instructions, here's what i did:
1. click "download" for the icon.
2. click on the folder you want the image to go on and click "get info" (in the 'file' menu on top of the screen)
3. grab the image and drag it into the 'folder info' box, letting it go by the folder icon in the top left. there should be a green 'bubble' with a plus inside of it.
4. wowzers, it replaced it!

Make sure the text box at the bottom of the window where you select your file says images instead of icons. If it says icons then only icons will show up (and you won't have any yet).

It doesn't work for me. When I click on the icon file in my folder it tells me "This file contains no icons" even tough it's not supposed to be a folder with icons in it; it's supposed to BE the icon.
