Hi guys I have managed to change the icons to most of my apps but for some reason ical and pages icon wont change on the dock even though in the application menu the new icons are showing.

I have tried deleting the shortcut from dock and creating a new one but that didn't help.

Go to the Terminal, and type

Code:

killall Dock

Try clearing the cache or change the icon again if it fails.

Done killall Dock no effect but how do i clear cache and will it delete all the icon changes i have made.

I have also tried changing the icon again and however it appears on the application menu itself but when i drag it to the Dock it retains it's original icon.

Unfortunately that doesn't solve it, it's getting a bit infuriating.

I feel like giving up on this

. Restarted machine/dock and also tried to remove it from dock and adding it from apps.

Hmm.
That should be the file, after I changed mine I repaired permissions then restarted.

Out of interest, what icon set is that?

Noob question How did you repair permissions?

I got the icon from deviantart.

Repair disk don't work as well, drat.
