Replacing Stock Icons for Mac

Did you know that on your Mac you aren’t just stuck to using the same old boring icons everyone else uses? Apple even has a support guide to help you here! It’s super easy.

Copy Image to Clipboard

One way to do this is:

• Get the image that you would like to use and open it up in Preview.
• Select All (⌘A)
• Copy (⌘C)

Select Desired File or Folder

• Select “Get Info” from Right Click Menu
• Click on the image at the top of the info box so that it is highlighted in blue
• Paste (⌘V)

Change it back

Decided that your custom image isn’t quite all you hoped and dreamed? That’s ok, it’s really easy to change it back.

• Select “Get Info”
• Click the image so it’s highlighted
• Cut (⌘X)

That’s it! Super simple custom icons!
