> 1. Change the desktop icons from the defaults to custom icons?

First, you need to create a series of resources:

a)  an ICN# resource, which is really two ICON resources back to back. This 
can be created in ResEdit. This will be the icon presented for your 
application on the desktop.

b)  a FREF resource. This resource associates with the creator of your
application. 

c)  a BNDL resource, to tie together FREFs and ICN#s.

d)  a creator type for your application, and a resource of the same type
(if your applications has type Fooo, you need a 'Fooo' ident 0 resource). This
resource is just a STR which gives some info on the file.

e)  Set the bundle bit for the application.

f)  See IM III-9 for more information.

> 2. Change the font of text in a window?

TextFont( fontNumber ). See IM I-171 for more information.
