Cannot use custom icons in Snow Leopard
Ok, bit of a strange one.
The old method of assigning custom icons to apps no longer seems to work. I copy the icon I want to use then attempt to paste it in the 'Get Info' panel, but it doesn't seem to assign the new icon. Attempted this on Safari, iTunes and Mail but it isn't working. Any suggestions?

I think you have edit them at application level.
Also check the icon you are using is in the right format, took me awhile to figure out it will only work with .icn files from memory. *edit* Safari, iTunes and Mail have to be edited at Application Level. You have to physically change the embedded icon.

Also, all my icons are either Apple ICNS format or straight PNG.

No problems at all. I figured maybe permissions would have something to do with it, Osx likes to lock down a lot of stuff. Much easier than editing the embedded icns. *edit* w00t double flame.

Sounds like you got it working?
I'd just like to add: you should be able to copy/paste non-.icns icons to apps/files as well. Open up a pic in Preview, use the selection tool, select the image, hit copy, do a Get Info on the icon of the program/file whose icon you want changed, click the icon at the top-left, then Edit --> Paste.
