Advertisements

Perhaps previously you’ve modified many icons, yet now you’ve become bored with those changes you’ve made; now you want to revert back to your original icon.

The process of reverting back to original icon is quite easy. Let’s say you've transformed your folder icon into stack drawer icons two months ago, you could do the followings to restore back to original folder icon.

  1. Select that item
  2. Control-Click on it to display contextual menu
  3. Choose Get Info or alternatively, you can use keystrokes command-i
  4. Click on small thumbnail sat on upper-left corner of info pane
  5. Hit delete key to restore your original icon

Though it’s just several steps away to restore your original icon, restoring tens (or even hundreds) of modified icons would be really tedious, repetitive and boring.

Honestly, I've always been more of a fan of just putting the monitor to sleep than screen savers. Sure they look pretty awesome, but if you're sitting at your computer, are you really doing so with the screen saver on?Good luck for the dates. It has been some times since we last heard about the next tour. I hope they can run it accordingly now.4mFzbDQ83eWhY7Jd
