Hi Neil Not sure if this is actually any more help, or more "hard work". Found this link about it as well. <http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=83832>
But without modify code, not sure of an easy way to do it. One thing to "Explore" might be to try downloading icongrapher <http://www.mscape.com/> Make all the icons the "normal" image you want, but the smaller one (for the side bar) the alternative. Then it will show as "normal" in the Finder, but (perhaps) when it's in the sidebar it will show the alternative. Didn't have time to test it, but was just a thought. Gotta get back to quotes and invoicing for now anyway,...lol. But thought it might give you something to play with for now.
