I always hated Yellow icons,I used a registry Trick which I found on a Unknown Blogspot While Trolling over internet to change icons in W^7 and it also worked with Windows 8 so now I can enjoy.

1)Open Regedit

2)Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer

3)Then make a New key in Explorer,Rename it Shell Icons
