Official Desktop Customization Thread

ive just got a quick question for you guys. i had a i book before i bought my g5, and when i was setting the g5 up i just moved everything from the ibook to it. it worked really well, but now in the top right corner of the g5 i have the battery icon that tells me how much battery is left. obviously, the g5 has no battery but i cant figure out how to make that thing go away. any ideas?

* clears throat*
first off, you're quite lucky anything works at all, you CAN NOT just drag everything to a new computer, even if they were both ibooks. if problems aren't already showing up, they most likely will, especially since by the sound of it, you dragged parts of the system onto the g5, the only thing you really can do this with is files you created and some things in the home folders library, like mail and safari info, and a few things in the library directly in the macintosh hd.
as far as removing the battery icon, the suggestion given should work. has the battery ever drained totally? I wonder what would happen?

That is an odd predicament we have here...i mean...there IS no battery...would it show power coming in?...but then there's no way for the computer to acknowledge that, 'cause it knows of no other way, then an outlet...my mind has gone blank, trying to even think of it. haha

It's easy to just go with the flow and kind of toss in a comment and not be specific. My bad!

@ solidstalin: what computer screen thing? are you looking at my post?
@inap: if you start slowly going back through this thread, I've listed a lot of sites for backgrounds, icons, etc, if you need more, let me know.
@edgefusion: I like the icon set you're using for the creative suite, where can I get it?

@edgefusion: I like the icon set you're using for the creative suite, where can I get it?

It's the standard set of icons for the Adobe Creative Suite 2.

Btw, *** is with those friend names, like "Chad"? lol

Those are their real names, if you want to know what's 'with' them then you had better ask their parents.
