Icons in dock

Hi,

new to mac and found this site and I have enjoyed it,

I was just wondering,
In the monthly desktop picture thread,people are always asking,whats that icon in your dock for where can I get it,what can it do.................


Can a thread be set up for this?

I think a picture of the icon, a brief description of what it does,and where it can be found would be great,especially for newbies!


Thanks,

keep up the good work

Hi thanks for that,
I did try searching for it to no avail!
sorry and thanks once again

Hi again,

Ive read through the 5 pages of the thread and to be honest it wasnt quite up to my expectations,
there are no pictures of what it looks like in your dock,
and also I am very sure that there are more applications out there,
not only freeware but software you can purchase,
I really think that a thread especially set up for this purpose (with a title that comes up when a search is done!)would be benifical to all newbies,
and it would cut out all the questions in the monthly desktop thread,
If you scroll through the threads this is the most common question being asked.


Thanks

create one. get the applications you want and have people add to it. make the name easy to search for.

Do you fancy starting it up-you being a legend around these places!
I am only a newbie and dont have the respect a person like you commands on the boards anyway....im crap at starting new threads and taking pictures of icons and stuff like that!

Come on powerbook you know you want to!

Anybody else fancy doing it?


If not can you tell me how to take a picture of the icon in my dock?


Thanks

Click to expand...

Easy Peasy Kev....just press shift+command+4 and drag to highlight the icon and release the mouse...hey presto.....one icon image on desktop.

Thanks pulse,ill give it ago later!

Even easier is what pulse said except after Shift Command 4 press the spacebar, that will turn your Crosshair into a camera and you can just click the icon
