Alternative Mac Icon
Back in the day on GD.com someone posted an alternative KGS icon for OSX. I loved it. But in my various system migrations I can no longer find it. This has a picture of it, but no longer has a valid link to the icon itself. Anyone have this floating around their system?

Re: Alternative Mac Icon
Really cool - if only I could change the rest of the UI to match 
But how do I use it? Cgoban doesn't get installed in any identifiable location when I run it via the .jnlp file.
Edit: nevermind, found it.
Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences
[Network] tab
[View Cache Files]
Option-click on CGoban, select "Install Shortcuts"
now the icon can be replaced in the newly created shortcut.
Ah, OS X, the simple, user-friendly operating system...

Re: Alternative Mac Icon
Mine installed in the application folder. Just right-click the icon and "View Package Contents". Then replace the icon file with the new one.
If its not in your application folder, perhaps try a Spotlight search

Since I put the first downloaded file into my “Go” subfolder in some other subfolder of my “Applications” folder, CGoban installed directly there … changing the icon as you described was a breeze
