I'm going to be the idiot here, and ask how do i use these? I've tried looking in properties for files, but can't see where to set new icons.

Going to search the net, but i couldn't help and ask since i've never changed my icons before.

nevermind, just found iconpackager

edit 2: wtf...only for mac? anyway to get these on a pc? ahh nvm just found gconvert that does it.

You can either use CandyBar or cmd+c (copy) the icon file and then cmd+v (paste) it onto the top left icon in the Get Info panel:

The best way to change icons system-wide is to use a program such as CandyBar on Mac or IconPackager on Windows (I don't know which programs are the best, but those are the two I can think of off the top of my head).

The copy/paste icon replacement method only works now and then depending on what the icon file was generated with. The best way is through CandyBar which at $29 is a great price. If you're not comfortable with system-wide replacement, you can always use the "Quick Drop" feature which does it on a per-file/folder basis. Highly recommended.

If you get a corrupted .icns file, use the freeware app img2icns. I've never had a single bad .icns file after using it. I don't what it does, but it generates perfect icon images every time.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
