Arrrghh. I'm losing my mind trying to find where they store the bitmaps for the drives. I would have guessed the hardrive stuff would have been in system, and the appleshare icons in appleshare. I have explored virtually everything with resedit and am unable to find this stuff. My original reason (admittedly trivial) was that we run facade and icon colorizer. So some nifty color icons were created to take the place of the regular boring ones (okay calvin and hobbes). Problem is that no matter what we select as the default color from the special menu at the desktop, it changes back to blue next boot. Why does it have a preset color for appleshare device and how can I change it is the particular question. Finding the bitmaps themselves would be nice too. -- Vincent Fox (That's Mr. Bucko to you)|"Fleshy-headed mutant, are you friendly?"

The bitmaps are in the drivers (Sony driver, SCSI drivers, Appleshare drivers, etc.) Finder makes a Control call to the driver to request its icon and location information. This is the call I intercept in Facade to change the icons. Greg Marriott Apple Computer, Inc.

I know that the drive icons are in the driver on the disk. They aren't there as resources, they are embedded in the code. -- Uucp: ...{gatech,ames,rutgers}!ncar!asuvax!stjhmc!56.12!Chris.Gehlker Internet: Chris.Gehlker@p12.f56.n114.z1.fidonet.org

The Appleshare icons are stored on the fileserver, in the Appleshare application. They are transmitted over the network to each user who logs on. They are not stored in an ICON resource, but in another resource type, something like GNRL. It has some extra junk at the end of the resource. Using Resedit, you can clip out the icon you want to replace it with, and paste it over the appropriate number of bytes. Then each person who logs on will get your new icon for your server. Sorry I can't be more specific, its been more than a year since I customized the icons on our server. David
