On a mac, is there some way I can change the default Icon for a program's files?

1 Answer

Answer :

If there’s not an option to change them in CandyBar, I can’t think of another way to change every file of a type. You can change individual files’ icons by going to “Properties”, then clicking the icon, and pasting an image over it.
