I'm sorry, but I don't care for Adium's duck icon, especially when I'm running Gerrit's über clean appEXT orbital icon set. I've done the Info copy/paste but whenever Adium is running the duck comes back in the dock.

Any suggestions to kill the duck?

Download a Dock icon you like and double click it to install it.
Then go to Preferences and in the "Dock" pane, change it to your new icon.
Viola.

Thanks Bob. Smooth White Bezels is much better... but I sure wish I could have that little ADI icon in there.

Gerrit, what do you do, assuming you use Adium?

just download a dock icon and then replace the pngs with blank ones. then you have a blank png on top of your icon, so you can use the orbital one

Cool! That sounds like it'll do it but how do I replace png files attributed to an icon? Sorry, newb here. I find the 4 png states in a search but they seem to be hidden or reside within the dock icon; I've made a blank png but I'm not sure how to replace the Adium ones. Thanks pyn!

I made an adium dock icon that uses the flat white bezels elements to fit the orbital theme. I am not too sure who to contact for permission to post it (plus i dont have hosting).

Sounds great ! Evidently, I'd be more than happy to include it in the OrbitalAGV set.
I'll PM you my email address, so if you'd consider sharing your work…
TIA

WOW! Thanks for the incredible 4-Star personalized service! That's just beautiful. Now... about that dreaded iCal icon...

In ThemePark there are actually two icon wells, "Application (Empty)" and "Application (Roman)". In my current theme, both were replaced and work OK.

I've checked some things and it seems that one goes to iCal > Resources > iCal-Empty.icns / and the other to iCal > Resources > Dutch.lproj > iCal.icns.
On my system, p.e. iCal > Resources > English.lproj > iCal.icns holds "the dreaded one".

Eventually Rename/Replace on your own risk - I could be wrong
