Add custom Virtual Machine icons to VirtualBox

Question

I'd like to use custom icons to better distinguish machines running the same OS from each other, in VirtualBox. is this possible? If so, what file(s) do I need to add/edit?

Examples:

I've got two Windows 7 VMs. One I use as a sandbox for testing various things, and the other I use for when I need to connect to work (ideally, my personal system - the host machine - never directly connects). I'd like to have perhaps a beaker for the sandbox, and a suitcase for the work machine.

I've got two Ubuntu VMs. One is BackTrack Linux, the other is a build I'm using to learn more about the OS. I wouldn't mind keeping the regular icon for the latter, but I'd like to use one of BackTrack's icons or images for the former.

I'm running VirtualBox 4.1.6 on Windows 7 x64.

Answer 1

You can change OS type in description in Settings->General->Basic. It's just a descriptive parameter and doesnt influence VM work from what I have seen.

I was looking for a solution too, but it seems that's the only way to change it. Btw Solaris icons are really nice :)
