Changing icons on Mac

In my last post I was complaining about an ugly icon of Google Chrome on Mac. Luckily one can easy change that.

First, you need a picture. I have found plenty of icons for Google Chrome on Internet. Get one you like, download it as a file, open in Preview, choose Edit / Select All and copy it to clipboard.

To change an icon of your application, folder or a specific file, right-click on it and choose Get Info. In our case it was Google Chrome app. Click on the icon in the upper left corner and press cmd + v to paste the image. Voila!

To show you the difference, this was before

and this was after the facelift

Google neglecting Mac lately?

Chrome is my default browser for year. It is light, minimalistic, it has lots of important add-on.

But lately I am quite unhappy with it. It is still 32 bit, that means it's not supporting the latest Java package. And its icon is not update to support retina screen. Look, how ugly it is now.

Google, are you neglecting Mac?
