Incomplete hack, please help
Authored by: leenoble_uk on Dec 28, '01 01:34:08PM

I was the original poster of this hack and I have tried to add my own icons but I can't get it to work.

Can someone help me perfect this hack?

I made an icns icon in IconBuilder Pro and moved it into the resources folder in the Appleworks package. The odd thing I noticed was that the other .icns files all looked like their icon (hope you know what I mean), but my icon had a generic preview icon.

Now after updating prebinding again, I located a word document and chose show info in the finder. I changed the opening app to BBEdit and then back to Appleworks to effect the change. Now, when I choose Appleworks from the application list the file's icon in the info pane changes to my new icon (great), but when I click the button to change all files of this type to the same setting it changes to the icon that I previously set, the generic Appleworks document.

I have now tried several types of icon exported from IBP and updated the prebinding a few times but it WILL NOT WORK.

any ideas?
Lee
