in which post?

Nearly every single one, the "Impact" and "Jasmine".
Update (finally): Batman Begins banner! I will show all the rest when I finish tuning them up and making them perfect. Made this one quickly, was fun, anyway.Sorry it's so small.

thats pretty cool. as far as the icons, the jasmine is from Mixthepix.om (outdated link removed)
, the set is called panther (the drives), and the Impact icon is a special one, if you look back a few pages in this thread, you will see the many times I have been asked about it, and the n once or twice I've given it out.
I'll change the impact icon for t he next screenshots.

i am trying to mod my clock on my mac, but the instructins were written for OSX 10.3.4 and i have the last Panther update (10.3.9), so needless to say, i don't the correct folders that are needed to mod my clock....does anyone have any suggestions??

 

[Macman]

the folders should be there, are you sure you're looking in the right place? remember, "~" means your home folder.

yeah, the programer actually scripted out the location within a .rft, but when i ctrl+shft+g to paste location, "this location cannot be found" pops up. i've even tried manually finding the location....even did a search for WindowClock on my HD....nothing found. and i have a clock (analog and digital) on my toolbar. i'm thinking that OS 10.3.9 changed the location and name of the clock application. but if anyone knows how i can get around this, i would greatly appreciate it. thanx.

you should beable to go into Apple menu/System/pref and your clock should be right there I just drag and drop mine where ever if I feel like it at the time

Macman, that first wallpaper with the explosion of violet is just brilliant. Did you design it or dl it somewhere? I'd really like to know because I'd love to get a copy of it if possible.
