Making script app icons different

As a follow up to my post e-Sword installed on a mac, I’d like to share how you can make the applescript app launcher for e-Sword have a distinctive icon rather than the default applescript icon.

  • Download a suitable icon approximately 48×48 pixels from the internet.  Just do a google image search for e-Sword and you’ll find plenty to choose from.
  • Open the image in Apple Preview.
  • Select all ⌘A
  • Copy ⌘C
  • Right click on the applescript “e-Sword” app that was saved to your desktop in the previous post.
  • Choose “Get Info” from the menu.
  • Click on the icon in the top left as shown in this picture.

 

 

 

 

  • Now you should see it glow like such:

 

 

 

 

  • Then press ⌘V to paste in the graphic you’ve downloaded.  
  • The net result should look like the following image.

 

 

 

That’s all there is to it. Now you have a snazzy e-sword icon for your applescript launcher.
