Hi all, You know how in Finder certain items display different icons in the sidebar than their normal finder icon - does anyone know how you can add a custom sidebar icon to a folder.
I'm not talking about changing the normal finder icon associated with the folder (which you can change by selecting the icon in the "get info" window and pasting the "new" icon over it) but associating a special icon that just shows up when you add the folder to the sidebar. At first I thought it might just be part of finder for the default "places" that show up in the sidebar preferences - but other Apple folders exhibit this behaviour also - to show what I mean: If you look at certain Apple-created folders in finder, eg: - Downloads - Music - Pictures In "get info" thew show a custom Folder icon - which is also the icon that shows in Finder windows (eg for "downloads" a blue folder with a down arrow overlay) - however, if you drag the folder to the sidebar, a different icon is shown in the sidebar (a green circle with a white arrow for the downloads folder, a camera for "pictures" etc). So, what I am trying to find out is how these sidebar icons are associated with the folders - where is the sidebar icon located and how is it added/linked to the folder? Anybody come across this info? TIA Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
