I'm trying to change the Finder icon, I went to

/System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/

I also have 2 icons ready to replace.

I tried to drag these 2 images up, I saw a block sign.

Then I was thinking, maybe it's locked, but then I don't have any options to unlock it.

How would one change the Finder icon?

I've also noticed, I also can't change Terminal, Message, Stickies, and Mail. :(

    The System volume is sealed: it cannot be modified.

  • So we will never be able to modify our finder icon ?

    Even if you could change the icon, it is almost certain that it would be put back to the default after a macOS update.

  • If you break the 'seal' the Mac will refuse to do anything except run a repair install. Not worth the effort.

You can't. Starting with Big Sur, the System volume is sealed: it cannot be modified at all.
