Has anyone figured out a way to change the buttons on the button bar in finder windows? I.E. change the graphics or the folders they point to?

thanks,

To change the icons just edit/change the icons inside the Desktop.app bundle. I don't know how to change their destination.

The path to the icons are:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Desktop.app/Contents/Resources

I havn't tried it but it should work.

Of course a day after I posted that, resedit comes up with the hack. But, does anyone know how to change the folders that they point to?

Well there might be an easier way, but on a lark i tried renaming the Applications folder to see what would happen, and the button then jumped to another directory, i can't remember which off hand.

i played around with creating aliases and symbolic links and i managed to get the button to point to the directory i wanted. i dont remember which it was that worked (link or alias).

i did it originally because under 9 i had my apps all on one drive, so i was trying to get it pointed to that drive. but in the end i decided i liked it better the way osx had it by default, so i just move the original Applications directory back.

note there is some weirdness hwen you do this though. you have to log out and back in sometimes to give it a chance to clear its head i guess.
