[Loren Littlejohn]

If you do, post em up and the answer is yes, yes I am very bored right now.

How can you actually change the icons in OSX?

Blonde moment- I went to put my cursor over the icons to see what they all were

Hahaha I did the same.

I also dont know how/haven't been bothered to change them however it looks pretty cool.

How can you actually change the icons in OSX?

One way:

Select icon

Command I (for info)

Command C any icon you want and or copy the icon on the very left upper corner in info window.

Command V (past) that bitch in the same info corner.

Done.

It's a lot faster than it sounds.

I used to customize icons (and bazillions of other things) when I still used Windows... I had more fun changing system utility names (Windows Exploder), error messages (Your computer wants to be alone. Please do not read the end of this message, as it needs its space.), and other parts of the interface (the Start button would read 'Break' when inactive and 'FUCK!' when pressed) to horrify anyone who used the machine and thought that they had really screwed something up.

I don't use an interface with icons anymore, but I will occasionally change my mouse cursor to a small, furry animal and enable mouse trails so that I can pretend that badgers are taking over my machine.

You're my favorite person ever on this forum.

^ Agreed. Goddamn!

@JBroll : You did this through the Registry, right?

Sneap forum needs more Jbroll posts.

Are there any newbs kicking around that we can set him on?

There must be at least one thread out there about someone placing subwoofers back to back so they vibrate in sync, or feeding one microphone to two identical DAW inputs and claiming to have better sound, because of magical physics...

No, but I hate the 3D dock so I make it 2D. I also prefer it on the side instead of the bottom, though I've had it at the bottom on this machine since I got it. Hi-res screen makes it take less space so it's less annoying there.

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

I used to have it on the side (the dock), but it actually got more in the way on that side than it did on the bottom of my screen, so I ended that.

I just use "Automatically Hide And Show The Dock" function so it doesn't take up space on my screen when I don't need it. It's amazing, seriously.
