What happened to my iDisk?

And I really like that you managed to force a sync to the Mobile Devices without uploading using the web Page, but for me the sync between the many Macs is more important.

And thanks for the iCloud icon 🙂

Cheers

Hi islane,

More custom iCloud icons: To make your iCloud folder look like a folder or volume try these: I used "Can Combine Icons" (a nice PowerPC app) to create these.

If you select any file or folder in the Finder, and then press ⌘(command)-L, this will create an alias, a link to your file. The icon of the alias shows a little arrow in the lower right corner. You can drag this alias to your Desktop, or whereever you want it, and use it as a proxy instead of the real file or folder. If you doluble click the alias, the real file or folder will open.

The icons I posted, are not pictures, but icon files. If the link given above does not work, try this:

Sorry, the editor window refuses to link the URL, you have to copy the link directly into the browser. 😟

got it. thanks. made the alias and is sitting on the desktop. however, the icon didn't change on the finder sidebar. how do i get that to change? and mine aren't in color like some of the screen caps posted. brand new 15 mbp, running latest lion. i did all my updates.

The grey design is at is supposed to be. But if you want to add color to your mac, you could download

Lion Tweaks, that lets you configure your Mac in an old fashioned retro look.

To change an icon to a custom picture, do the steps 4-7 of the previous post.

Open the picture in Preview or an image browser, select a part of the image, copy that selection to the clipboard with (command)⌘-c.

Then select the item where you want to change the icon in the Finder, do File -> Get Info from the Finder menu, select the icon in the info panel, and paste (command)⌘-v the custom icon into the icon well.

You will have to recreate the alias, to update the alias icon as well.

The icons I posted "http:/dreschler-fischer.de/icons/iCloudIcons.zip"

are not pictures but macintosh icon files. You can select them in the Finder and copy the icon file to the clipboard (commandd)⌘-v, then paste them into the "Get Info" icon well as described above.

I am still working on how I can get a cool icon on the finder sidebar... Not only for this folder, but also for the sites folder which surprisingly if you add it to the finder sidebar, the icon is the grey classic folder...

OT: "Lion Tweak" or "Colorful Sidebar" will restore the color and enable custom icons in the sidebar, as you can see from my screenshot.
