Yes-- I'm trying to do the same thing. I've created these objects in my
methods section of my Zclass object which subclasses folder.

But when I 'add' an instance else where, I don't see these things in my new
folder instance. There must be some code that I need to add to 'create'
these objects that I want each _folder_ to have in it (like some dtml
documents and a user folder).

I'm wondering also.

Just save the existing folder to your harddrive. Then use photoshop to
change it. then back in Zope, in your Product click on your Zclass and then
the Basic Tab.

Then click on Icon Image and then select the modified image from your local
harddrive.
