deuce_mn,

Glad you like it. I have the avater's turn off but when I find davey's I will look at it.

Cool you got the wallpaper I made.
I got the full 800x600 and 640x480 verion if you want it. I never made one for my new PC that I use the 1224x768 on but that easy to do.
The 800x600 is 270KB so I can't post it.
You want a cup with your name on it or Random Discussion. Maybe just Random so I can make the text bigger and have it show up better. Could leave it black and you can just name as you have it now. What color cup you want?
Your TSG came out better then mine.
I just opened it and saved it as a icon may be why. I never tried resizing it first.

Say hewee... could you email me the 800x600 version? deucephilippe@svtv.com It's in my profile too but I put it anyway. Well I used a 64x64 pixel icon and pasted davey's TSG logo into it and saved it was 64x64. The icon size on my desktop is 32x32 so I guess it reduced it according, and for some reason this round-about method came out better than yours. Ohhhhh... actually I think that it came out better because I pasted the transparency tile over that off-white (or whatever color it was) that was around the TSG circle so you might be getting the original outside color and I get the color of my desktop. I will attach it anyway in case you want it. It is saved as .ico but I renamed it as .jpeg for the purpose of posting it. All you have to do is rename it back to .ico. Humm... what color eh... white to ash-gray would be good...

[deuce]

Ok well that didn't work. It has before, but oh well. Couldn't save it with the transparent in any other than .ico so this is 64x64 but doesn't have the transparent stuff in it.

Ok made a new one for the "Rambling Discussion" thread. I think I like this one better than the arrow but I'm not sure.

deuce_mn,

Hey the 800x600 wallpaper is in the mail.

Thanks for the icon. Yes it better but still fuzzy.
Maybe it's just too much trying to down size it and keep it looking good. I have a real good copy in .bmp that I got from the store page. But look at the ad below and it's ok but you can get the text to look right that small.

I can't tell if the desktop 12-10-01.jpg is better ir not.

[deuce]

Does anybody know if you can change just the my computer icon and not the whole set?

[RT]

Well, you can change it if you make a shortcut to My Computer...

Don't know if that's how you'd wanna do it, I don't think you are allowed to delete the original icon. There may be a way but I don't know it right now.

deuce_mn,

If you are talking about the drives in My Computer then look here.

No I was talking about changing the actual image that displays for "my computer". In other words... does anybody know how I can change the computer image to something else without changing the whole set? It sounds like it isn't possible. (by "set" I am talking about all the system icons... you can change everything from my computer to my network places to driver files to cursors all according to the same theme.

deuce_mn,

Go to Display Properties, Click on the the Effects tab.
Click on My Computer and click on the change icon button.
You will see a window that pops up that you can pick from.
If you want another icon then browse to it. Once ou find
your icon ok your way out. If the icon does not show up
then go to the Effects tab and put a check in the box that
say "show icons using all possible colors". You will be ask
tp reboot your PC for this to take effect. Then go back and
pick your icon. You can also use .bmp. When you click on browse
go to the "files of types" and pick "All files" then you can
use a .bmp. But on the .bmp it does not resize the whole image
right so you should do that it MS Paint first. It shows the
top left corner of the .bmp.
The link I post before will tell you the files that icons.
I have IconTOY that will find 1000's of icons on your PC.
The one I have there is no install but the IconTOY2 and I
see IconTOY3.1 is out now.

Ok I'll do that... thanks.

[deuce]

Well... made a new one that I thought looked better and then saw it didn't look better than the me one anyway once I did the switch... oh well. At least now I won't forget how to do it should I decide to again some day in the future.

[hewee]

What type of Icon do you want?

[deuce]

I don't know... I have been trying to go through and replace some of these boring looking and ms'y looking icons and trying to liven my desktop up so to speak. Why... do you have a bunch of good libraries or know of some?

[hewee]

Let me go find some sites for you.

I can make icons also.
