			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you change an app&#8217;s icons (application icon and/or toolbar icons) and that app is updated quite often it can become a pain to keep changing them each time. Here&#8217;s an Automator workflow to automate the process.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.iconaholic.com/images/ls/Automator-change-icons.png" rel="lightbox" title="Click to close"><img src="http://www.iconaholic.com/images/ls/Automator-change-icons-small.png" alt="Automator workflow" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Drag the custom icons you want to use to the window in the &#8216;Get Specified Finder Items&#8217; action.</p>
<p>To add the Resources folder (where you will copy the custom icons to) to the &#8216;Copy Finder Items&#8217; action, right click on the app you want to modify the icons of &#038; select &#8216;Show Package Contents&#8217;. Open the Contents folder to find the Resources folder &#038; then drag this from the Finder window to the location drop down list in the &#8216;Copy Finder Items&#8217; action</p>
<p><img src="http://www.iconaholic.com/images/ls/Drag-to-the-Resources-Folder.png" alt="" width="" height="" border="0" /></p>
<p>Save the workflow as an application, then any time the app is updated run the Automator app to change the icons. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To automate it even further you can set up rules in <a href="http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php">Hazel</a> to automatically change the icons once the app has been updated without having to manually run the workflow yourself.</p>
