Hey guys.

I know how to change an icon. Get info, copy, paste. The problem is that I have tried to change many icons, and there are a few that just won't show the new icon when the application is launched.

For example, I changed the icons for iStumbler and AP Grapher. But when I launch them, they revert to their original icons.

I am thinking it is a coincidence that both these apps/utilities are wifi searching apps.

Anybody know how to resolve this?

Yes, I did a search and found nothing.

Alternatively, you could right click on the application, show package contents, go to the resources folder, and change whatever icons you need to change. I'd go with the CandyBar route as it's much easier.
