I'd like to use custom icons to better distinguish machines running the same OS from each other, in VirtualBox. is this possible? If so, what file(s) do I need to add/edit?
Examples:
I've got two Windows 7 VMs. One I use as a sandbox for testing various things, and the other I use for when I need to connect to work (ideally, my personal system - the host machine - never directly connects). I'd like to have perhaps a beaker for the sandbox, and a suitcase for the work machine.
I've got two Ubuntu VMs. One is BackTrack Linux, the other is a build I'm using to learn more about the OS. I wouldn't mind keeping the regular icon for the latter, but I'd like to use one of BackTrack's icons or images for the former.
I'm running VirtualBox 4.1.6 on Windows 7 x64.
As far as distinguishing between machines and changing the icon, you can use the answer from @koshua. Change the

settings underSettings

->Basic
to something different. I have confirmed that it does work to change the icon and I have found no problems. Also, a moderator at the VirtualBox forums confirms that there are no issues changing this setting after initial setup. > by mpack » 25. Apr 2011, 05:31
