Mac: Customizing Disk Icons



Recently, I replaced the Disk icons on my iMac with images downloaded from Interfacelift.com. The standard Macintosh HD icon is now an iMac image; the Boot Camp-drive is a Windows Flag; Time Capsule is a Burger Stall; the iTunes WD Data-drive is a Greek Music House and the iTunes WD Backup-drive is an Umbrella. Hundreds of intuitive icons are available at the site and I herald the artists' who share their wonderful creations without charge.


To complete the procedure, I applied five steps. (1) Placed the desired icons on the desktop. (2) Clicked GetInfo (cmd-i) on the original icon and opened the GetInfo pane. (3) Copied the desired icon (cmd-c). (4) Clicked the original icon on top of the pane until a bluish hue surrounded it. (5) Pasted the desired icon on the original (cmd-v).


The image above is the end-result (click for a larger view) and the video below shows the procedure (Blogger does not offer a larger view). To revert changed icons to status quo, I selected the icon on top of the GetInfo pane and pushed ‘delete’.
