Well i guess how do you even change the icon to those custom ones. Yes I love the punisher icon and the Autobot one. so no way i can get those? is there a tutorial on how to modify icons?

its easy to modify an icon for something, I could maybe give em to you, but theyre created by a friend of mine, only me and him have them, plus the copyrights and such. to modify the icon, do a get info on both the icon you want and the one you want to change, in the general info area, click the icon in the get info window of the desired icon, then click edit>copy, then select the icon in the same area in the other get info window, and click edit>paste. Im still looking for where I got the transformers set, its been a while.

well its up to you regarding the Punisher Logo but don't sweat it! Thanks.

Sounds easy enough! Is there a site where I can browse icons? I want to change my HD icon to something cool. Also a few other folders... Ideas? Comments? Advice?

OH AND MACMAN: where did you get the new iPod icon? cool...

Macman · Dec 7, 2004

well see about the punisher icon, but which one, I think theres 3 punishers, for icons, try
xicons.com, resexcellence.com, and iconfactory.com

I have tons of astronomy/space backgrounds, I use an app called apod grabber, apod is astronomy picture of the day, everyday, it shows me a new one, if I like it, I save it, thats one I liked.
