Thread-topic: Problem getting app icon to display in Finder
User-agent: Microsoft-Entourage/11.2.0.050811
Launch Services only changes the icons if an application is installed,
copied or deleted. If you want the icon of an existing application to
change, you will have to force register your app. In Terminal:
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\
Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Support/lsregister -f APPLICATIONPATH
And relaunch Finder.
