Application icons can be changed in the same way in OS X as in the Mac OS, by copying and pasting in the Get Info window. This doesn't change the appearance of the icon in the dock, though, because the dock icon because the dock icon is (most likely) stored in a .icns file (the equivalent to a icns resource in the Mac OS). Actually, poking around I seem to see the following: perhaps the mystery green icon is located at /Applications/iTunes/Contents/Resources/iTunesHelper/Contents/Resources/iTu nesHelper.icns so replacing the icons here might change the appearance in the dock. Might not, too. I don't want to fiddle with it, but perhaps it would work. Bill | The next meeting of the Louisville Computer Society will | be May 27. The LCS Web page is <http://www.kymac.org>.
