![]() Open this file in a text editor of your choice and define paths to your custom, bespoke *.icns files from whatever theme you’ve downloaded.Make a copy of /Applications/TotalFinder.app/Contents/Resources/TotalFinder.bundle/Contents/Resources/ist and put it in your home folder (at ~/), naming the file.This feature just wasn’t documented well (or at all…?) until now. ![]() You can actually already specify your own custom icons in TotalFinder, ever since version 1.9.3 from 〜5 years ago. Most of the old iconsets on the internet have especially designed icons for the sidebar, so it would be great if TotalFinder used the colored ones by default and we could set our own custom icons if desired. Setting your own custom sidebar icons in TotalFinder TotalFinder, on the other hand, basically just gives up and accepts defeat when an exact (or extremely similar) skeuomorphic icon has ceased to exist, and just falls back to the Finder rendering - instead of doing what colorfulSidebarX does and trying to use icons from other apps (Installer, iBooks, the App Store, etc.) to kinda approximate it. There’s a few choices I don’t really agree with there, like them mapping Documents to… iBooks (which I just find confusing). The difference is that colorfulSidebarX seems to be a little more… liberal with how they map some of the icons, to get around the fact that Apple has removed most of the old graphical icon assets in recent macOS versions. If you look in /Applications/TotalFinder.app/Contents/Resources/TotalFinder.bundle/Contents/Resources/ist (long path, I know), you can see for yourself how TotalFinder tries to make its best attempt at trying to map some of these icons back to old assets left over in macOS. ![]() Might those facts be (at least part of) the cause?Īs an example, the dual-HHDs solution sometimes generated troubles, like for instance the desktop image, that I had to copy onto the SSD, since keeping it on the secondary HD (that is my SSHD in the primary S-ATA bay, as stated) would not be used as desktop picture and the standard original Sierra image have been automatically used in place of my custom chosen one, for reasons unknown to me - although I am thinking of some priorities that escape my mind during the booting process).This was surprising for me to see, but it seems that colorfulSidebarX is actually not just using the same method for attempting to approximate missing icon assets, but even using the same plist format(!?) I am starting to have some doubts about the fact that my iMac 27" mid 2011 has 2 HDs (an SHDD in the primary S-ATA bay and an SSD in the opti-bay which obviously is the one I normally boot from), and I am running continuously TotalFinder, kept updated as much as I can. I deleted Finder prefs (in user/library/preferences), I rebooted many times (I tend to put my iMac to sleep for days, rather than switching it on and off), I did all I could think of, but… no go. ![]() I keep reordering them many times every day, but to no avail. In brief, randomly the Finder sidebar keeps reordering elements in its own order (with no logic to me, but I am human and not a piece of software, so most likely I cannot grasp such a behaviour □). I am having a similar problem, only I am running Sierra 10.12.6 (Finder is v.10.12.5) and NOT High Sierra.
