Customizing iSync with Treo icons
There is no Step 5
One of the things that has always annoyed me about Apple's iSync is that there is not a good icon for the newer Treos. After playing around in Photoshop for a bit, I made up some for the Treo 650 and Treo 600. Below are instructions on how you can customize iSync to use a Treo 600 or 650 icon. Here is what iSync looks like after the change:
To make the changes, you must have an administrator account and be comfortable with using Terminal.
- Close iSync if it is running
- Save either of the following files to your Desktop folder:
treo650-isyncicon.tiff
treo600-isyncicon.tiff
- Open up Terminal, which you can find in the /Applications/Utilities folder
- Type the following commands (you will be prompted for your account password)
cd /System/Library/SyncServices/PalmBladeConduit.bundle/Contents/Resources
sudo mkdir Backups
sudo cp *.tiff Backups
sudo cp ~/Desktop/treo650-isyncicon.tiff ./Treo.tiff
A few notes:
Change the 650 to 600 for the last command if you want the Treo 600 icon
If you upgraded to the Treo from a different Palm device, you have to replace its file instead, i.e tungsten.tiff instead of Treo.tiff
The Backups folder contains the original files
