Change icons on Mac OS X

Here’s the first in an ongoing series of screencasts on TipTrickMod; we’ll start with something simple yet brilliantly useful: how to change the display icon for a folder, app, or drive, on Mac OS X.

Guipulp – a daily updated round-up of great icons (and other customisation resources) from across the web.
