Is there any way to select (or permanently change) the post icon that goes along with Forum Announcements?
The post icon is a blank piece of paper and it doesn't do much to indicate "Hey, Look at Me!" I would prefer more to use the exclamation mark or a different icon that more fits the tone of an "announcement".
How can I do this? I don't see the possibility in the AdminCP.
That's this image:

If you want to change it, just replace it with new one with same name.
EDIT: Be sure you are looking for image in right folder of your theme.

That image seems to be used in other places though. If I change it for the announcements it will appear differently everywhere else as well. Won't it?
I'd prefer just to be able to change the post icon for Forum Announcements by itself, if possible.
Thank for your reply.
I guess if this will take code modification, it should be moved into the Plugin Request forum.
I figured I would follow up on this thread with my results.
Since no one responded as to whether this was possible or whether a plugin was necessary, I decided to use template edits.
For future reference (for any other members), if you would like to change the Announcement Icon (or the other small icon - "folder") that appear to the left of your Announcements on your forum display pages...
Go to this template: Templates > Default > Forum Display > forumdisplay_announcements_announcement and search for this code:
<td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}" width="2%"><img src="/images/announcement.png" alt="" /></td>
<td align="center" class="{$bgcolor}" width="2%"><img src="/images/gotoannouncement.png" alt="" /></td>
That is where you made the desired changes.
