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.

    • Dead by Daylight, Two Point Museum, and more join Xbox Free Play Days for the weekend by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe There is a brand-new Free Play Days offer available to Xbox players, giving them a chance to try out a new selection of games over the weekend. Microsoft's latest promotion brings some high-profile titles, including the sports title PGA TOUR 2K25 and the racing sim Assetto Corsa. Almost all the games being offered this time require an Xbox Game Pass subscription, with only one title being available for all players. Starting with the fully free-to-play section, Dead by Daylight is populating it solo. This asymmetric survival horror title should be the most familiar to most gamers, considering its age. The multiplayer four-versus-one asymmetric survival horror game has you assuming the roles of survivors or the killer to see who can come out on top. This Dead by Daylight offer will be available to play until Monday, June 22, giving you an extra day of play compared to the remainder of the Free Play Days titles. Meanwhile, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, Premium, and Essential members can now try out the well-received tycoon game Two Point Museum, the circuit racing sim Assetto Corsa, as well as 2K's golf sim experience that gives players a career to develop alongside real-world pros and courses. Here are the announced games and the platforms they are available to play on: PGA TOUR 2K25 (Xbox Series X|S) Two Point Museum (Xbox Series X|S) Assetto Corsa (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) Dead by Daylight (Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One) To easily find the titles on Xbox consoles, first head to the Store, and then in the sidebar, find the Home section. In there, open the Subscriptions tab. All the games from the Free Play Days collection will show up in this section for quick access. Apart from Dead by Daylight's offer, this week's Free Play Days promotions will end on Sunday, June 21, at 11:59 pm PT.
