change drive icon

#1 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 - 21:24

Ugh.I'm having a major brain fart. At some point in the last year, I changed the hard drive icon on my SE/30 (System 7.1, update 3) and now I can't remember how I did it. It may have been when I set up my SCSI2SD. Anyone know how to do this? I farted around on the thing for well over an hour last night, and no luck.

Thanks.

File -> Get Info. You can paste/change the icon in there.

I could be wrong, But I don't recall System 6 supporting custom folder/file/drive icons.

when you format your drive w/ Lido you also get a nice selection of icons to select from. I am using a very nicely rendered Mac Classic icon and Mac SE icon on both of my respective machines.

I have a custom version of Lido where I made a spiffy IIci specific icon for my HDD. I like have a permanent icon for it.

I found control panel for system software below 7 which can change your HD drive icon, it is called IconMaster.

Check the link below. I also included icons for System 7 which can be just copy/pasted on HD icon or folder.
