I know you can change the icons of files, folders, etc, but in the sidebar folders appear the same. Is it possible to give them a custom icon for the sidebar like the Music, Photo's, Movies, etc folders have?

It does not state if it can change them in the sidebar. Can anyone vouch for that functionality?– ChrisCommented Aug 1, 2011 at 20:34

I downloaded a trial of candy bar from macupdate. It did not change the sidebar icons to color.– user9109Commented Aug 4, 2011 at 7:36

Hmmm...it should. I don't exactly know. It may be that the trial doesn't let you do that. Commented Aug 4, 2011 at 17:23

If you want to use the default Mavericks OS X Finder Icons, go to System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle (right-click > Show Package contents)/Contents/Resources.
Get Infoon the folder in finder sidebar.- Drag the .icns file (e.g.
ToolbarDownloadsFolderIcons.icnson to the small icon inGet Infowindow to the left of Downloads.
If you are on El Capitan I think you have to disable SIP first:
1.Restart your Mac.
2.Before OS X starts up, hold down Command-R and keep it held down until you see an Apple icon and a progress bar. Release. This boots you into Recovery.
3.From the Utilities menu, select Terminal.
4.At the prompt type exactly the following and then press Return: csrutil disable
5.Terminal should display a message that SIP was disabled.
6.From the menu, select Restart.
