Changing Mac OS X icons (1 Viewer)

[MarkHastings]

Has anyone run into this? I have been playing around with custom icons that I've downloaded off the internet. Yesterday I was copying and pasting different icons onto my applications with ease, but today, I'm having trouble changing some of those icons. Example, I changed Illustrator and Photoshops icon yesterday...I easily changed Illustrators icon today, but when I change Photoshops, it won't let me.

I can delete the custom icon and revert it back to the original Adobe Photoshop icon, but whenever I try to paste a new icon there, it pastes the one I pasted from yesterday.

On another topic, does anyone know of another icon program that will let you change the system icons (i.e. Finder, Home, Applications Folder, etc.). The only one I know of is CandyBar, but it doesn't seem to allow me to change the trash icon.

CandyBar should change the trash icon as well. Mine is changed.

I'm not sure about the Photoshop icon, it seems to do the same thing here. Now, I can only paste the ImageReady icon over and over again.

The only way I was able to change the icon was to make a copy of the file. Once I made the copy, I was able to delete the cutom icon and paste in a new one. It's odd.

Maybe the programs in question installed themselves as read-only (or writable only by 'root', etc.).
