| change drive icon | |
| Posted by: fimbulvetr on 2015-11-27 13:24:11 Ugh.I'm having a major brain fart. At some point in the last year, I changed the hard drive icon on my SE/30 (System 7.1, update 3) and now I can't remember how I did it. It may have been when I set up my SCSI2SD. Anyone know how to do this? I farted around on the thing for well over an hour last night, and no luck. Thanks. | |
| Posted by: techknight on 2015-11-27 13:38:04 File -> Get Info. You can paste/change the icon in there. | |
| Posted by: fimbulvetr on 2015-11-27 18:28:18 thanks! That did the trick! | |
| Posted by: Cera on 2015-11-29 12:08:18 there' s some way to do this in system 6? some trick or third part app? i'd like to change hd icon like I do in system 7 | |
| Posted by: Apache Thunder on 2015-11-29 14:10:59 I could be wrong, But I don't recall System 6 supporting custom folder/file/drive icons. | |
| Posted by: eR1c on 2015-11-30 09:49:04 when you format your drive w/ Lido you also get a nice selection of icons to select from. I am using a very nicely rendered Mac Classic icon and Mac SE icon on both of my respective machines. | |
| Posted by: olePigeon on 2015-11-30 16:47:28 I have a custom version of Lido where I made a spiffy IIci specific icon for my HDD. I like have a permanent icon for it. 🙂 | |

Posted by: Cera on 2016-03-20 08:12:19when you format your drive w/ Lido you also get a nice selection of icons to select from. I am using a very nicely rendered Mac Classic icon and Mac SE icon on both of my respective machines.i know it's a good way but i don' t want to erase disk and reinstall. if u only change icon with lido under 6x without formatting the changes can't bee seen. can be seen only under 7x | |
| Posted by: Cera on 2016-03-20 08:50:26 Ok on real Se it works perfectly. Made my day thanx a lot!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 | |
| Posted by: Cera on 2016-03-20 13:00:08 screenshot of my SE with icon a little modified by me  | |
| Posted by: TimHD on 2016-03-20 13:08:55 Can you share the icon / image file? | |
| Posted by: Cera on 2016-03-21 06:56:28 It's all built in the download that slomacuser posted. you can only interact in the control panel and this will change only the boot disk icon. it' s simpler to use it than explain it. just put the icon master control panel in system folder, reboot and than try it 🙂 .to modify default icons you've got to modify pixel per pixel and save it. there's a screen from minivmac  | |
| Posted by: mraroid on 2016-03-22 08:24:24 How about changing drive icons under 7.6.1? Mine are all stupid looking.... jack | |
| Posted by: Elfen on 2016-03-22 09:24:56 Anything on System 7 and after, you can use "Get Info" on the file/drive and cut/paste the icon from there. | |
| Posted by: mraroid on 2016-03-22 13:15:35 Hi Elfen... Thanks for the help! jack | |
| Posted by: Cera on 2016-03-23 05:20:05 yeah from 7.x is not a problem, just like osX 🙂 | |
