Update:
By the way, Benjamin Daines, how do you get the "Apple Images" into Photoshop? They are in System Prefs, but that's it as far as I can see. I could make some really cool stuff with them.

Didn't work first time, try to attach file again.
Turns out file size was to large, put it into photoshop to fix the resolution to make the file size smaller.

I have been saving pictures and using them for my desktop but I have been saving them in my documents folder.I see on the desktop area where you pick the image you want to use, there is a folder called Pictures folder, but how do you add to that folder? The picture folder in my user account does not show in the list

 

[Ey3 D]

Hmmm.. Strange. Update for Apple pics : Not so great, since I am tired and have been Photoshopping all day. But tomorrow, my ideas will be back.

Just made this my background... Its my baby ... See Doo GTX 155hp...

 

[Ey3 D]

Running Limewire, eh?
How do you make your harddrive an icon that you downloaded? I tried putting the icon as a folder on my desktop and then dragging my HD to it, but nothing that worked.

 

[PowerBookG4]

you do it the same way you do all other icons.. get the info, select the icon and paste the new icon on the hard drive icon.

 

[Ey3 D]

Uhh.... Sorry I suck at this, but could you be more specific. I wanna make my HardDrive icon an icon I downloaded ( http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/17553576/ ). But whenever I try to copy paste my hardrive into that icon folder, it says it can't be pasted into itself.

Sure I will make a little mini-tutorial.
Picture 1: Find your icon in a folder
Picture 2: click picture and hit command I to get info.
Picture 3: Click on icon in upper left hand corner so there is blue around it. Hit Command C to coppy
Picture 4: Click on Hard drive Icon and get info. Select the Same icon on the hard drive and hit command V to change icon.

 

[Ey3 D]

Yay! It worked! Thanks a bunch man!

 

[Ey3 D]

Hmmm... Something weird is happening. I am downloading icons from InterfceLIFT.com and I download the files, they open with Stuffit Expander, the folder is on my desktop, but no items are in the folder. I have tried Safari and Firefox and they give the same result. I am gonna try a restart soon if it continues.

 

[Ey3 D]

It seems that only .zip files are working and not .sit even after a restart. Strange. Any ideas?

 

[iNAP]

I tried firefox and had all sorts of strange thing happen ....it stopped after I dumped firefox Also Limewire

 

[Ey3 D]

Well I use Firefox to download Photoshop Brushes and other things that Safari won't display somehow. But the strange thing is if I donwloaded multiple and opened them at the same time, some would work.
Update: Simple banner, too tired and lazy to use fonts or color... Pretty cool.
Cool new Kill Bill icons and a mix of others.
