Just a quick question, I used to change my icons manually using 'Get Info' however now that I use shapeshifter to change icons these icons don't get changed. Is there a way to change these icons back to the original aqua form so that they will be changed by Shapeshifter?

Thanks in advance

Did you try the restore aqua icons in the shapeshifter menu?

If you want a copy of the original icons you can download a set from this site:
http://www.iheartny.com/howto_01.html
If you look towards the bottom right it has a section that says restore, that has all the icons in it and you can do it manually.

If you search "restore icons" in the forums there are a number of threads with ways to solve it.

Maybe someone on here can suggest a better way, well good luck!

"Get Info", select the icon, and hit the "delete" key on your keyboard. That will revert an icon you've changed back to the original.

Thanks for the responses guys, I decided Smeger's way was the easiest, so thanks.

My bad on not finding the previous thread, but the some reason I had trouble thinking of the word restore, so thats why I had trouble finding them
