Application icon keeps reverting to generic/default icon I changed the icon of my Google Chrome application by going to the application -> get info -> clicking on the small icon in the top left of the window it opens -> pasting the new icon. It works, the icon changes, but after some indeterminate period of time, it reverts to this: 


What is going on here ?

update: tried putting them in the Resources subdirectory of the chrome app like so, but to no avail
It probably reverts back to the original icon after each update. You can also change the icon by going to Macintosh HD/Applications/Google Chrome/Contents/Resources and replace the file titled app.icns with your own modified icon file. It has to be the same filename and extension. This may stop the icon reverting depending on if future updates rewrite this file. 

I hope this helps
