I would have liked to set the color for this folder. But now when I do New From Clipboard, just like before, I just have what I copied which is the highest resolution version of that icon. I haven't saved it so I'm going to just hit the Delete button to delete it so it's gone. So what I'm going to do is make sure it is selected and I'm going to Copy again and then I'm going to close this file. I just want to change the highest resolution version. Now I can't do much here with this Icon's file unless I want to change all of these and I don't. It would have created the same Icon's file for us. If I had copied just the folder itself and done the same thing Preview is smart enough to know that it can't do anything with the folder but it can do something with the folder icon.

Now since I copied the icon, the icon is in the Clipboard, and it's going to create an Icon's file here with the folder and all the different sizes that the icon appears. I'm going to do File, New From Clipboard. Both would work for what we are about to do next which is to go to the Preview app, I'm going to launch it with Spotlight, Command Space, Preview, and then hit Return. I could also have just selected the folder, not brought up the Get Info window, and do Command C on the folder itself. Now I'm going to select the icon here at the top left and do Edit, Copy. Now to get the icon for it, so we can edit it, I want to select it and then I can go to File, and then Get Info which is Command i. You can do a lot with just the Preview app to customize these folders.

For now let's just use what's built into our Mac which is the Preview app. I'm going to talk more about that later on. You can also use an Image Editor if you've got one. Now you can create your own custom icons using just the apps you have on your Mac. What I would like to do is have custom icons for all of those. Here I have a bunch of folders on my desktop and they're using the standard blue folder icon from macOS. That way you can easily pick out each folder and know what's inside. So if you have a bunch of folders on your desktop or in your Documents folder you may want to customize the icons. There you can read more about it, join us, and get exclusive content.
