Really? ****...

Ive given a copy to a few people, very few, but still. if you really want it, catch me in ichat later, I can do a file transfer and send it to you as long as you promise not to
give it out to anyone.

 

[Macman]

I use www.interfacelift.com . They have some pretty good ones.


Oh any by the way, how are you guys changing your dock icons and getting the HD capacity and HD free space under your drives?

in the finder, click view>show view options, in the window that appears, click below the label position, it says snap to grid, show item info(thats the one you need to check. as far as changing dock icons, its done one of 2 ways, a. candybar, b. shapeshifter.

The HD free space under the drives can be done with the program 'DriveGauge'.

 

[shaun89]

Ill get it rght now. Thanks

 

[Macman]

true, but thats an unnecessary app as that feature is built into the os.

 

[Mr Bobbins]

is it ? Where has that been hiding ?

 

[bassplayrr]

Yeah, how can I get my system to display the HDD space under the picture of the HDD on my desktop, Macman? It's probably very simple but I ran a search and can't find out how. I'm still a Mac n00b. :/

[fyrman22]

Was wondering what program you use to get your iChat buddylist to go clear.Thats sweet

 

[iWhat]

Oh, I think that app is Adium, it's must download app.

exactly, only thing that sux about adium is no file transfers, but besides that, its great. tabbed chatting is so cool, unless your me.
@iwhat:
I have now started posting some nature/life desktops now.

 

[iWhat]

I've seen the nature ones, they are very nice! From the last 10 wallpapers, the colors in the sky are phenomenal in the 6th wallpaper. Nature wallpaper is very refreshing to me, especially in the winter time in Ohio, where everything is dead right now. I need something to look forward to in the winter months. Did you get those from MacDesktop?

 

[Macman]

nope, not macdesktop.
heres a really great image. youll love it

[iWhat]

Oh my! Okay, where can I get it now?

Edit: Oh, nevermind! I was trying to drag and drop, but no worky. But I remebered that I need to "Save As". But still where are you getting these great images?

that last one is from a photographer I use sometimes. its actually a photoshopped image, he took a trip, took the pic of the scenery, then took a pic of his wife running through a field, and put her in, adjusted the lighting on her, and thats pretty much it. if its not for profit, I can send you a copy in ichat or something. you were talking about that last one, right?

 

[iWhat]

Yep, I was talking about the last one. I got that image fine now. I always use the drag and drop feature to get my pics in firefox, but all I was getting, was .php files. But the "Save As" worked fine. Now that I'm pursuing graphic art design as hobby, I'm really starting to appreciate people's amazing creations.

cool
