macapper.com— Have you ever wanted a custom icon for a hard drive or folder in OS X? I have, and I found out that it is easy to do, even if you can’t make an icon yourself from scratch.

Here's another tip. If you right-click on any application, go to Show Package Contents, then Contents -> Resources, often you'll find lots of icns files or just plain PNG's. These are images that application uses in toolbars, menus etc. Customize at will :)

How would you revert back to the original icon after you changed?

A few years ago, I would use XPaint to make/modify icons. Its view of small images, such as icons, shows a pixel grid, and it's working interface is easy. It is also lightweight and very snappy.By the way, XPaint is open source, so it's free (as in beer and speech).Here is the Sourceforge page for XPaint: <a class="user" href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/sf-xpaint/">https://sourceforge.net/projects/sf-xpaint/</a>Here is an old screen shot (from when the code was hosted on Freshmeat): <a class="user" href="http://freshmeat.net/screenshots/12076/12077/">http://freshmeat.net/screenshots/12076/12077/</a>

Dear MacApper staff: Thank you for spamming Digg with your s**t. If anyone gave a f**k and actually read the article, they'd submit it themselves.
