Hi,
I apologize if the answer is obvious or can be found on the web. I searched
on google groups but could not find it. I was wondering how to change an
icon in Irix. Can the icons on the desktop be changed and if so how? Also
how would you do this for applications that currently have a default icon
(i.e. a lot of the freeware)?
Thanks,
Jim
