Finder and Calendar Icon Installation for MacBook Pro Retina on Mountain Lion

I use Candybar and LiteIcon to install most of my Icons.

But I have to install Finder and iCal manually.

Finder:

1. Navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices
2. Control Click on the "Dock" icon
3. Click "Show Package Contents"
4. Control Click the "Contents" folder
5. Click "Compress Contents" (This will create a backup of this folder)
6. Open the "Contents", then the "Resources" folder
7. You will see 3 finder Icons, depending on your screen resolution.
8. For retina, you only have to replace the "finder2x"
9. (NOTE: These files are PNGs not ICNSs)
10. Rename your new finder.png to match the file you want to replace.
11. Delete the old icon and copy in the new one.
12. Relaunch dock, and you done!!

Calendar:

1. Open you Applications folder
2. Control Click on the "Calendar" icon
3. Click "Show Package Contents"
4. Control Click the "Contents" folder
5. Click "Compress Contents" (This will create a backup of this folder)
6. Open the "Contents", then the "Resources" folder
7. You will see two Calendar icons called "App.incs" and "App-empty.incs"
8. Create 3 copies of your new "calendar.icns"
9. Name one "App.incs" and two "App-empty.incs"
10. Delete the old files and replace them with the new ones.
11. Now open the folders "Calendar.docktileplugin/Contents/Resources"
12. Replace the last "App-empty.incs"
13. Relaunch dock, and you done!!
