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.

For Macs:

I tried Spike. It seems your base folder is in much better quality, but I'll try making it again.

Make sure you save it somewhere you know you can find it again, and when the window to select the file pops up, make sure the bottom text box is set to images (.png, .jpg, .gif, etc) instead of icons. If it is set to icons it will only search for .ico file (which you won't have yet).

Last Roundup, I'm guessing: [link]

She looks like a circus seal to me when she's in the pose, and even sounds like it too when asking about whats-his-face, which made that part all the more hilarious.

Nicely done.

Changing the size to 256x256 distorts it, is there a way around this, or am I doing something wrong?

I need some help. How do you get it out of library view? Because I see the "open folder location" option, and in prperties there is no customize button. WHAT DO?

Blues27Xx In reply to richardaldana [2012-04-30 01:29:52 +0000 UTC]

If you aren't in library mode and customize isn't in the tabs at the top then I don't know. Are you on windows 7?
