[QUOTE="Jigzill, post: 302007, member: 22480"] So I have been using the program Path Finder for some time now and love all the options and complex fucntions. However, it is TOO much. I don't need all the options and functions and I would really like to start using the standard finder again. So, in the standard finder i customized the toolbar, changed the background color, icon size, blah blah blah. It still isn't enough though, so i have a few questions: Is there an exstension or haxie to allow tabed browsing within the finder? How do I change the background color of the sidebar of the finder? It always is white and dosen't match the other background in finder. Yuck! I recently found some very eye-pleasing icons to replace the stock sidebar icons, ie applications, documents, photos. However, the application and system folders never have and won't change icons. I copy and paste in the "info" window but it never takes effect in the finder. All the other folders have changed but these two won't change. When I open the "info" window the "icon preview" displays what i have pasted but the folder in the icon itself does not. How do i get the to change permanently? Whats up with the little characters/symbols in the lower left corner? I have seen four little squares and a pencil with the line through it. What are they and what do they represent? Anyway to get the "system preferences" to appear in the sidebar? Anyone know of a website (if there is one) that has a collection of finder ad-ons for customization? thanx in advance! I look forward to your responses. jigzilla ps i have an intel macbook [/QUOTE]
