hello, I'd like to have the big gorgeous Live alias icon on my desktop, but my alias just turns into the stock Apple A-shaped "pencil/ruler/brush" thing. I did have Live in my app's folder, but I now have it as a stand alone folder on the hard drive, thinking that might get rid of the "A" alias, but nothing doing. Thinking there's probably a quick dumb fix. Any help? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply! I tried over and over, searched the web about it too, and it should work just like you describe, but it isn't. I cannot get a big beautiful scalable proper Live alias icon. Even after a reboot and retry. Should be the least of my worries. But...I'm kinda sad about my retarded generic app alias icon. It's like walking into a mansion through a rusty screen door.[/i]
i've had that problem b4 too on OSX.. i can't remember for what tho.. hmm curious.. i think there is a way when manually edit the rsrc file .. i remember that was the trick to change your hard drive icon back in OSX 10.0 (and public beta too i think).. search on that and maybe you'll find an old doc on it.
good luck!
