Is it possible to force replace an item that's in use? Because I'm trying to replace the dock image, but since it's always open it wont let me.

Try this: in the terminal type: sudo mv then drag the replacement image into the terminal window and then the original image. You'll need an admin password.

  • Go to Macintosh HD » System » Library » CoreServices.
  • Make a copy of the Dock.app so you can go back if you ever war to.
  • Right-click on Dock.app and select “Show Package Contents”.
  • Go to the contents folder, in the contents folder go to resources.
  • Copy the new dock images there, it should ask for an admin user name and password.
  • After the images are cooped in, go to the terminal and type ‘killall Dock’ and hit enter.
  • The dock should relaunch with the new images.
