Mac Forum / Country Specific / Australian Mac Group / October 2004Icon on Folder in the Dock
Is it possible to place an icon (jpg, gif, etc.) on the Document Folder which I have located in the dock? If this is possible, how could it be done??

Then select the original folder in Finder, Get Info (Command-I). In the window that appears select the folder icon in the upper left corner, paste the image. Close the info window. Then drag the new folder icon to the dock and remove the old one.

It would be nice if the icon could be pasted on the folder and the folder still retain its identifiable characteristic shape.

You can always copy the document folder image to the clipboard first, then open a new document in photoshop. It will open with the same dimensions as the graphic. Then you can paste into the new photoshop document and manipulate the folder image. Then copy and follow my instructions above.

Get it at Tucows or any similar download site. or here: http://www.naratt.com/FolderIconX.html >> Thank you Peter for the information, but ... >> when I paste the icon on the Document Folder in the Get Info pane [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >or here: >http://www.naratt.com/FolderIconX.html ---------------------------------------------------------- This is what I need---Folder Icon X......Thanks mate for the URL John Decker |
