Theoretically yes, 'pure linux' gives you more freedom. If that's not your cup of tea, you'll either need to find someone to do it for you or settle for the icons that Apple has given you. And turning off SIP (as described in one of my links above) requires booting off the recovery partition and entering a command in terminal. You have to turn off SIP to change those icons. I don't know that much about Linux but isn't Apple based on that? If you went pure Linux wouldn't you have more freedom? I see us headed for 'I'm sorry, Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.' I'm used to being able to casually brush aside those pesky limitations, but they're getting more and more difficult to sidestep as time goes on. Tired of my computer telling me how I am and how I'm not allowed to use it. You can ignore the code, that was just my trying to do stuff and being told 'uh uh uh! You can't do that!' with a nice cute wag of the finger.

If it's already in the dock, you can remove and re-add it, but you might just be able to get it to update by cmd-clicking on it in the dock, I've seen this work before. Yes you change the icon on the application itself, then drag it into the dock. Thanks for telling me how I'm not supposed to use my computer! (sorry, *I* will be the one to decide that!) Tried to report it to Apple and they replied basically saying 'you're not supposed to login as root so we're not fixing it'.

(DiskWarrior most notably) And stuff in the os started breaking. Then tools started breaking when logged in as root. I had all my service drives at work doing that because it saved a lot of headaches with the tools I ran. Not just in terminal, I mean like in Finder. This is by far not the first time, root has gotten gradually more difficult to use and less effective when you do over the years. That's what root is FOR, when you need to bypass the security in the system to get something done. Pisses me off every time I try to do something and can't even do it logged in as root. I suppose you might be able to boot off something else or target mode it and modify it from some other booted OS though.

Yeah it's not really a 'method' (like you have a choice) so much as it's the only way.

What am I dragging into the dock, the changed icons?Īlso, I'm not sure what all that code is you put in this post. I know I have to turn it back on when I'm done. I read about and mentioned the SIP method to change dock icons.
