LiteIcon

Is there any hope for a new version for macOS Monterey?

discontinued as Big Sur does not allow replacing system icons

It works well enough, but the claim that it will "change quickly any icons of your system" is not true. There isn't an option to update the Finder icon. OS: Catalina 10.15.6

I´ve bee using this app for ever, love it. The only thing I´d love is some way to reapply the same icons automatically (or just to save a group of icons and reload it with one single click). There are manu apps (chrome, firefox, whatsapp, dropbox, etc) that are constantly updating and going back to their original icons. Its pretty tedious to have to search for the custom icon of each and manually replacing them.

I think LiteIcon is fantastic! And I hope you guys will provide a update for Catalina 10.15.1, because Apple, again, made it impossible to change the icons. Bummer!

I like it a lot, very simple interface...and it works with macOS Catalina, now!

would be priceless to get a beta for Catalina...

Just released.... High Sierra update is available 3.8... https://freemacsoft.net/liteicon/

Please add support for Sierra in IconData.plist. This is error message: The file IconData.plist could not be found. Please try reinstalling the app.

Hopefully the developer will update soon for MacOS Sierra......Great Program!

Don't know what I did, but I did it before to read the rewiews.... I click on something asking me if I wanted to bypass El Capitan limitation. And now, I can (at my own risk, with the little danger icon) only change the computer icons and don't have any access to the system icons. Do you think a reinstallation and the following Remi instructions could help ?

note, you can disable SIP, make your changes, then re-enable SIP. It doesn't have to be left off all the time. The changes made by LiteIcon appear to 'stick' and El Capitan does not complain. A bit tedious if you want to change icons constantly, but for those us like myself, who change it once in awhile, it's fine. Also, note that in the shipping version of El Capitan, using this command: sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0" no longer works. you can set it, but it is ignored. The new method is using the CSRUTIL from Terminal WHILE BOOTED INTO THE RECOVERY PARTITION. > csrutil enable > csrutil disable (turn off SIP)

Thanks for version 3.6 beta I was able to change the Bootcamp icon from the generic Apple hard drive icon, and the Finder and Dashboard icons without a problem. Thanks for the continued effort!

This don't work for me: Boot into Recovery (start up holding down down Command-R until the Apple logo appears), and select "Security Configuration" from "Utilities" on the menu bar. Uncheck "Enforce System Integrity Protection", click "Apply Configuration", click "Apply" on the resulting prompt, and restart. Rootless will now be disabled. Get the message the program This version of Mac OSX is not supported.

It's really important that we let Apple know that System Integrity Protection is limiting the way we have enjoyed using our computers. If you're beta testing El Capitan, file a bug report. It takes 30 seconds. So far, I've done it for LiteIcon, TotalFinder and cDock. These are all utilities that I love using to customize my Mac and I want them back!

Been a long time user now and it has just become vital - makes it so much easier to change icons and all of them! Although now I am wondering if it's possible to make LiteIcon to apply an app icon automatically when an app is updated? Everytime eg. Chrome or Spotify updates their icons jumps back to normal and it kinda a repetitive process to apply the same icons every now and then. I keep custom icons the same location and it would be neat if LiteIcon could "drag and drop" it by itself. If not possible now, its a suggestion :) Cheers and keep it up!

Tested on ElCapitan
Hand by hand. Work fine.

1: sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0"
2: You can also disable rootless through Recovery, and this may prove to be a more reliable method:

Boot into Recovery (start up holding down down Command-R until the Apple logo appears), and select "Security Configuration" from "Utilities" on the menu bar. Uncheck "Enforce System Integrity Protection", click "Apply Configuration", click "Apply" on the resulting prompt, and restart. Rootless will now be disabled.

I hope now, that update come quick for us :)
King Regards

I have been able to alter folder icons on El Capitan but I'm not sure how it works. Copy and pasted an icon from one folder to the next checked back a few hours later and it had changed.

Absolutely great program!!! Highly recommended. Wouldn't want to be without it and hope that the developer can get it to function with El Crapitan. Apple, please stop being such a "nanny state".

yes!!! thank you so much. i needed it for 10.11 oops! downloaded, tried to open but it says system not supported and does not open. i am on OS X 10.11 (15A178w)
