Chromium Icon for Mac OS X

I find the default Chrome icon a bit too colorful and distracting sitting there on my dock... so, to replace it with the nicely subdued, blue Chromium icon, run the following command in Terminal.app:

sudo bash -c "curl -o /Applications/Google\ \
Chrome.app/Contents/Resources/document.icns \
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/\
chrome/app/theme/chromium/document.icns \
&& curl -o /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/\
Contents/Resources/app.icns \
http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/\
chrome/app/theme/chromium/app.icns"

This will download the two icon files Chrome uses, and replace the old ones. I haven't been able to figure out a way to keep updates from over-writing the icon, so you'll have to re-run this command the next time Chrome updates itself.
