I’ve been enjoying my Droid for almost two months now and during that time, it’s been connected to my MacBook repeatedly as I experiment w/ the ‘right way’ to move music/movies back and forth (still haven’t found the right solution; that’s a post for another day).
I suppose you could call me “visu-anal-ly retentive”. It irked me a little that my Droid was represented by a default, generic drive icon on the desktop and in the finder. I decided that I ought to try putting together an icon to represent the red-eyed wonder.
After a few minutes of searching, I found an image that I thought would work as an icon w/o looking too lame. I threw it into Acorn, cut away the background pixels, and saved it as a 512×512 32-bit PNG (w/ transparency). I thought I’d be able to export the image as an icon directly from Acorn… alas, it was not so. More searching revealed a utility called ‘Img2icns’ and it did just the trick. Here’s the icon I ended up with.
Once you’ve got your icon, right-click on your Droid in a finder window and select ‘Get Info’. Then you can drag your icon right onto the ‘Droid’ in the Get Info dialog. That should do it. You should now see something like this:
