    How To: Change Your Desktop Icons

    I love to customize! From getting my BlackBerry engraved at the TechCrunch/Popsugar shindig in LA, to downloading some pretty wild wallpaper to bring out my inner animal and make me feel at home while I'm at the office. I do all I can to show my personality and prevent desktop boredom, even when it comes to my gadgets, which is why I switch it up and get down with cool (and free!) desktop icons through Iconfactory. The good news is that they're both Mac and PC friendly, and if you haven't checked them out, head on over — they have tons of cool icons to download and use to customize your virtual space on your computer. Not everyone loves the standard Safari or iPhoto icons, am I right? Once you find the icons you love, come back here and learn how to quickly and easily change your old icons into something a little more you.

    try candybar to change icons like finder, safari, and other icons that are stubborn.
    this is available for free trial, but you have to pay after like 30 days - its maybe 15 dollars? 13?
