Follow up: How-To Change Icons
Posted: March 11, 2007 Filed under: How To, Pimp My GUI 8 Comments »Some people might’ve changed icons for certain folders, and therefore have lost the original icons. I foresaw this, and decided it would be good to kinda make a ‘back-up’ folder with all of the original icons. While I don’t have the original icon for ALL of the folders, I have most of them for the important ones (Ex: HD, Apps, Users…).
You can download the original icons here.
For instructions on how to change icons, go to the guide.
Thanks for these. I actually downloaded the Monoliff icons and I was just thinking about how to put the originals back but now questions are answered.
No problem! I only put the main folder icons, cause those are pretty much the only non-generic folders.
Possible Shortcut
I found that I can restore the original icons without re-pasting them. Just go back to the ‘get info’ and highlight the icon that you switched to. Then hit delete. The icon reverts to the original default icon. Let me know if this works for you as well.
Ah it does! Thanks for the info Jasper! Well, guess you can follow Jasper’s contribution
Thanks, Jasper, that is a great discovery, I can now enjoy the icons freely…
Duuuuuude this is very simple
just go to the folder you want to restore (get info) highlight the icon on the left corner then go to edit on finder and select Edit / Cut.
