Ivan; your comment doesn't make sense
1) Get Info on the icon (like a folder)...What does "Like a Folder" Mean?
2) Click on the icon to select it. What Icon, the Folder you mentioned in step one?
3) Edit (menu) > Copy....There is no EDIT
4) Open Preview...................I stopped as I couldn't go any further.
5) File > New From Clipboard
6) Tools > Adjust Color > Tint (and whatever else you want. Do this for all sizes)
7) Edit > Select All
8) Edit > Copy
9) Go back to the original Folder Get Info Window
10) Select the icon and Paste.

Hi Susan, sorry there was a long delay before I got back to you. I had other computer problems. You said you would be interested in an alternative way to change desktop icons. Here is what worked for me:
You can, change folder icons one at a time. To do this, first find a file with an icon you'd like to use for the folder, select it, and choose File --> Get Info. Click on the icon in the Get Info window and choose Edit-->Copy.
Now select the folder you wish to change and choose File-->Get Info for it. Click on the folder icon and choose Edit-->Paste.
Your folder will now be visible with your chosen new icon 🙂
Now select the folder you wish to change (Zippy on a folder above and below) and choose File-->Get Info for it. Click on the folder icon as shown below and choose Edit-->Paste.
Thanks for your advice but it did not work on my computer. But see my reply above to Susan Hull for a method which did work for me....changing the icon.
The above reply from yardsale was directed to Ivan 54.
hello yardsale, if you'd be so kind to share that method to change the default icon for folders I would be so thankful ! greetings
sorry, false alarm, I solved my problem using Folder Teint 🙂 thanks
Just used your method now on macbook. Great 🙂. But can't get yellow colour.
Thank you! It was a breeze
