This idea came to me out of the blue…why not change my Desktop Manager icon to Poots? Then *lightbulb!* Why not share it so everyone can have Poots on their desktop?! I have made an icon for Windows and Mac that you can use to replace any program on your computer. I used the icon to change my Desktop Manager icon ->

But you can choose whatever program you want. Below I have gotten info on how to change the icon image on Windows and Mac. If any of the info is incorrect let me know so I can fix it.

Found this info at the Apple website on how to change the icon image for a Mac computer:
