Desktop Locked Icons on CandyBar

[LadyX]

I use CandyBar to change Mac icons however the applications Sparrow, iPhoto, and iMovie have a lock and I can't seem to change it. Anyone know how?

Try this:

Some of the icons in 10.6 are locked from changing via permissions. If you cmmd-i a file and change the group everyone to read/write it will apply the icon. You can then change it back.

Try this:

It doesn't work. I tried setting permission to Read & Write but I still can't change the icons. I tried setting 'Wheel' to Read and Write as well. There has got to be a way because I've seen many user-created icons for the Sparrow and iPhoto apps.

I'm not sure what else to try. I know I could never get it to work when I used CandyBar. Since 10.8 I stopped using it.

Locked Icons on CandyBar

Ok I think I changed something while I was playing with the settings because now when I log out, I get two options, to either log in as user or guest. How do I remove the Guest login?

Go to System Preferences --> Users & Groups and turn off the Guest account.

Do you happen to have bought those apps from the App Store?

Yes, Sparrow is from the App Store. iPhoto and iMovie as you already know came pre-installed.

Candybar does't support changing App store icons. Although you can do it manually.

I use LiteIcon and no problem.

I installed LiteIcon but I didn't know how to use it.

Never mind. I figured out how to change app icons from the App Store.
