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.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
