Does the Utilities folder now come with a proper icon instead of the default folder icon? If not can we at least change it in Panther?

I minor issue but irritating nevertheless.

However, the bug preventing you from changing it is GONE, GONE, GONE!!!

Anybody have a nice replacement icon?

Could someone explain when this bug occurs? I've had a nice custom icon (well, a folder icon with a DeWalt cordless plonked on it..bit o the old drop shadow, touch of transparency...y'know) on mine since about 10.2.4. When doesn't it work?

There are some nice ones at http://www.xicons.com/ .

Does anyone know what was causing that bug in the first place? I'm curious...

This is what my sidebar looks like. I got all my icons from xicons.com. Oh and if you created any of these icons, thanks, they are beautiful!

Now all we need is to be able to play sounds on mouse over, and we could create the perfect homestar runner desktop!

Agrapha has some really nice ones.

Unfortunately, their icons are currently offline.

However, you can still find them at various icons sites.

Util folder looks the same, but the developer folder got a new icon though.

Time for some housecleaning... that free space is getting down there.

LOL....When I installed Panther, I did a clean install, restored my home directory, and then did an install of Macromedia MX Studio 2004, Photoshop, FileMaker Pro, Quicken 2004, Microsoft Office and Zinio Reader....And that's the amount of space I have left....I have a 12" Powerbook with a 40 Gigger...I think I just need a bigger hard drive honestly...I can't even engage FileVault.

Care to post that somewhere? So I don't have to install the dev tools. Would look nice for the Utilities folder.

Thanks.

Some designer worked overtime on that one!
