Is there a way to change the default icon of AOL instant messenger permanently so I don't have the annoying IM bubble flashing? I would like to switch to a different icon, but if I just copy paste an icon, it switches back to the default to display the ****** bubble. Please help. Thanks.

If you're in OS 9, you can do it in ResEdit.
Let's show 'em why Macworld 2003 won't be like Macworld 2002.

I have icongrapher for OS X, and I figured I could probably get the job done with that...I am just having trouble finding the resource files to change. I will give resedit a shot. Thanks.

Is there such thing as ResEdit for OS X? It would be very beneficial.

Here's a couple
Resourcer: http://www.mathemaesthetics.com/ResorcererIndex.html

Hexedit: http://hexedit.sourceforge.net/

ResKnife (not sure if it's out yet) http://freespace.virgin.net/
nick.shanks/mac/main.html

Of course nothing can beat ResEdit.

I made an alias for AIM and gave it a new icon. I then threw that into the dock. No more bounce.

Here's some instructions from resexcellence. you'll have to boot to OS 9, use resedit, and boot back into OS X to check out the results.
