I define comfort as self-acceptance. When we finally learn that self-care begins and ends with ourselves, we no longer demand sustenance and happiness from others.

its a great program..especially if you mistakenly delete a key folder or app from your mac that was installed from your install disk leopard or tiger or whatever…it will allow you to install just what you want and you dont have to reinstall the entire operating system…saved me when my ichat died on me…cuz you cant download it anywhere but from the DVD….

Now since installing from the time machine backup, the custom icon does not show up on the desktop, just the default disc icon. The real problem is that the custom one shows up on refit when i start the computer and it absolutely will not let me change the icon (paste is grayed out even when the icon i want is in the clipboard). I can change others, but not that one. Does anyone know where the icon is now stored and how to change it? I changed my mac hd icon and had a drive failure.

Step 1: Just pick any icon of your choice (I used a b/w G3 icon), rename it to "iMac.icns". Step 2: Then go to /System/Library/CoreServices. You will find a bundle called "CoreType.bundle". Open it via "Show Package Contents" from the context menu. Go further to Contents/Resources. Here you will find many of the standard icons MacOS X uses, also many classic icons. There is a file "iMac.icns". You can replace it with the file from Step 1. I renamed the original file to "iMac.icns.backup". Most important is that the new file has the same name. Step 3: Close the package, log out and log in again or restart the computer so the Finder can read in all icon resources again. Et Voila you have your custom computer icon. Sometimes a system update replaces this bundle and restores the original icon. Just repeat the whole procedure and you will have your icon again. @K: it’s no big deal to replace the computer icon.

Drag and drop the favico (little picture next to the URL on the left) to your desktop to make a URL shortcut. Get info on that and copy/paste your new icon into that URL shortcut file (as described above). Now, when you double click on the fluffy bunny icon - you go to fluffy bunny dot com.

Icon Composer is better if you would like different icon(s) at smaller sizez, but if not I reccomend img2icns.
