  I took this one step further (or maybe one step back) and made my own CF 'splash screen'

  Aw hell no. I'd take the $1500 I saved by buying a PC and hire some guy to browse to c:\eclipse or wherever I installed it, and edit eclipse.ini or cfbuilder.ini. And then I'd go out and have dinner and see a movie. And then I'd go buy some gadgets because, well, I'd still have maybe $750 left over. Or hookers and blow, whatever. So, no thanks on the Mac bit.

  Hm, on my Mac I use CFB as a plugin for Eclipse instead of the stand-alone install. Doing this, the icon is only changed while the app is running. Before and after running it's the plain vanilla Eclipse icon. Perhaps it's time to get a copy of Candybar: http://panic.com/candybar/

  @Adam, after right clicking Eclipse.app and choosing 'Show Package Contents', you will see a file named 'info.plist' in the 'contents' folder. Edit that file to point to the new .icns file you add and that icon will be used in finder, as well as the dock.

  Actually, on the PC you right click --> properties --> change icon.

  Real computers rule.

  I tried changing my install of Eclipse + CF Builder to use the lightening bolt icon and it didn't work. No idea what I'm missing. I opened the Eclipse.app (show package contents), went into Resources, opened the plist file and changed the appropriate XML node to studio.icns. I also added the studio.icns to the Resources folder so the path to the old icon and the new icon were the same.

  plist? No - it is CFBuilder.ini. Oh - unless it's different for you being a plugin to Eclipse.

• Comment 9 written by Scott Stroz on 23 February 2010, at 11:19 AM

  

  The .plist file should be what tells OSX what icons to use in Finder and the Dock.
  
  @Aaron - I had some issues changing it a second time. I am not sure what I did (if anything) to get it to use the latest icons I specified.

  @boyzoid - Yea, I edited the plist file and it didn't work. So I guess I won't be as cool as Ray. =)

  Dude, you can't touch this: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=4769721&...

  If anyone is using the CFBuilder plugin for Eclipse instead of the standalone installation, I have always found this to be a much more appealing icon for eclipse:

  @Aaron & @boyzoid - I was able to get the icon to change permanently on the dock (before, during, and after app startup) by leaving the info.plst file alone, and instead renaming Eclipse.icns to Eclipse.icns.orig, and replacing it with the new .icns file named "Eclipse.icns" -- must be something hard-coded to use that file when the app isn't running.
  
  In addition, there's a pretty neat plugin that lets you provide your own splash screens: http://sourceforge.net/projects/rndsplash/ (put the jar in eclipse/plugins, and restart eclipse, check preferences > General > random splash screen).

  @Ray - Seriously? You have /nothing/ on me. Nothing. http://bit.ly/clJQEd

• Comment 15 written by Aaron West on 23 February 2010, at 3:13 PM

  

  @Adam - Thanks for the clarification. I have it working now with the icon Ben Riordan posted in these comments. It's a great Eclipse icon.

  Photo please.

  Ray, can you post the CF Dude icns file? It wasn't part of your download but I'd like to try that one as well.

  It will be nice to see if the default Icons of CFM files and CFC files displayed with slight difference. Whats your thoughts?

• Comment 21 written by Raymond Camden on 24 February 2010, at 5:18 PM

  

  @Shimju - that would be set at the OS level. That's pretty easy afaik.

• Comment 22 written by Ben Riordan on 25 May 2010, at 2:22 AM

  

  Here are some icons to update the CS4 style to CS5 for CFBuilder.

  For PC users go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/types/ - an excellent utility to manage file icons. No need to buy Mac for this reason:)
