Hey guys,

I'm trying to get my Mac Mini to show up with a Mac Pro icon in the sidebar in both Bonjour computers and the network Finder window. It's sitting in an old G5 case as file/media server and I'd love for it to show up with the corresponding icon. I've seen some very old solutions that I frankly didn't quite get, I did find the icons in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources, have Xcode and the Info.plist that the article talks about, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't follow 10+ year old instructions anyways.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this? If I understand correctly there are two ways this could/did/might work, one by editing the icon locally on my MacBook and one by editing the Mac Mini's product code/ID (?) so it announces itself as Mac Pro?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a ton,
V
