App Folder Icon Mac
OS X Yosemite comes with a whole new flat design and many of the existing apps are yet to be updated to match Yosemite’s design and aesthetics. We can’t do much to change app’s design but OS X allows us to change the icons of the apps. You can use an app called LiteIcon or you can change the icons of apps manually using this guide.
Folder Icon Changer is an app to customize the icons on your Mac. The program comes pre-bundled with hundreds of icons that you can use to create custom folder icons and custom file icons on your Mac. There is a partition line between the apps and the trash. It will stick there, and then you would not need to put a folder of the Aliases on the Desktop when in that user account. (Main icons themselves in the Dock, are generated in the process of dragging an icon from an app, into the Dock. To change the icon of a folder, open Finder and select the folder you would like to change the icon of. Then press COMMAND + I or use File – Get Info to bring up the Info Sheet. In the upper-left corner of the Info Sheet, you will see a smaller version of the folder icon. Open Finder and select folder; Open Info Sheet (COMMAND + I) Drag and drop image file onto folder icon on Info Sheet. Working with application aliases is a bit more tricky, but not horribly so. First off, open up your Applications folder and when you’ve found the icon for the app you want to have “shortcut” on the Desktop, Control-Click on it to bring up the context menu: Choose “Make Alias” and a copy of the app appears.
I recently posted about the beautiful Glacier Icons for Yosemite and I was using those icons till yesterday. I got bored with Glacier icons and wanted to switch to default app icons. One way to do this which I knew was to drag the original icon in the app’s icon in “Get Info” window of the app. Though it requires that you have the original icon backed up. The another way is to use LiteIcon app which automatically stores a copy of original icon before you change the icon of an app.

A better and much easier way to restore default icon of an app is to select the app in Applications folder, press “Cmd + I” or right-click and “Get Info” to open the Get Info window of the app. Now to restore the default icon, all you have to do is select the app’s icon at the top(not the icon displayed under Preview section) and hit the delete button.

This will restore the default icon of the app. In case of restoring icons of system apps like Safari, Launchpad or System Preferences, it will ask for your password. In case of third-party apps, it may or may not ask for the authentication.
