Apple - Can I change the application icon of an Automator script?

After the script has been created do the following :

1. Find the source app with the icon you want

2. Get Info of the source app (cmd-i)

3. Click on the icon inside the source app's info window (Not the one in the big Preview section at the bottom, if you have one of those; the little one in the top-left corner.)

4. Copy it (cmd-c)

5. Get Info of the automator script (i.e., the destination app) (cmd-i)

6. Click on the icon inside the destination app's info window

7. Paste the icon from the clipboard (cmd-v)

This method works for every files in Mac OS X.

I found a hacky way to do it after you have created the applet

• (Create your icns icon file - however you want)
• Open Applications Folder
• Right-click on automator script
• Click on view package contents
• Add your icon to resources folder
• Rename it to AutomatorApplet.icns

I am sure there is a better way, but I figured out how to do it this way.

You can also change the icon just as you would normally for any other folder or file in Mac OS X:

1. Copy the image you want to use as your icon. Ideally it should be 512x512 already.
2. Choose Get Info on the file/folder/app in Finder
3. Click on the Icon and you'll notice a blue outline on the icon - now press Command-V or choose Paste from the Edit menu.
