Create OS X Folder Icons

http://go.tagjag.com/screencast - http://twitter.com/chrispirillo - Alec has created another screencast for us! Today, he's going to show you how to create your own custom folder icons if you're using OS X. It's not as easy to do as you might think, and I know many people who haven't figured it out on their own. Alec's tutorial will show you how to do this quickly and easily, without having to throw your computer out of a window! http://www.youtube.com/YourTechStop - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/ - http://www.img2icnsapp.com/

haha:

"instead of having these boring blue folders..."

what about the boring blue desktop background? :P

[evanisvinks14]

what did you use for the left ones

[Jeanutti]

When I change my folder's icon and drag it onto the dock it changes back to the boring blue one.. Is it not possible to have costomized icons for folders on the dock?

The icon I found it not from apple, but this shouldn't be a problem right?

And your video is very good, keep it going! :)

Can't believe there's people that don't do this on their own.

That's because you don't know how to use OSX so of course it's going to be hard compared to something you do use.
