Nice. I saw that I can't change also system icons ( like Automator, AppStore, Maps, Notes, etc. ).
Quick check on some forums suggest that I should do that in recovery mode. I guess it will be a mess with almost any other app that needs a bit more permissions and needs the raw UNIX filesystem.
- pilif 11y agoThe only problem is that after the update, the /usr/local belongs to root again. That's easily fixed with a chown though. Apps still have access to the raw UNIX filesystem. The only restriction is that they can't write to /usr, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, /System and into pre-installed Apple apps. Normally, Apps shouldn't need write access to these directories.
- eddieroger 11y agoIt's not so much anything that needs the raw UNIX filesystem, it's anything that touches files that Apple has deemed not needing to be changeable, which I think app icons safely falls under. Fortunately, you can turn the whole thing off if you want.
