I can't seem to find a way to do it.

Whenever I download OS X icons and drop them in IconShop it crashes. I've tried both versions of IconShop too, so it use there. I'm doing this on Windows XP, does anyone know what the problem is? Or more specificly, how can I properly convert OS X icons to Windows XP?

Maybe because apple insists in raising hardware prices right after a release :ponder: And because PC's are really much better machines right now, either apple has to dump motorella, and find a new cpu vendor, or they can count on going out of business sometime in the near future (5 to 10 years ;)). Because really companies arnt going to look twice when deciding which computer is best when a PC's speed is double that of the mac's, and new graphics software is comming out all the time for the PC, which makes the choice alot easier. Also an imac's price is almost double that of a top of the line PC, but the mac equivelent isnt even close.

and set the cross platform to:

never

then you can drop the extracted folder onto icon shop

also look at the iconshop help

Thanks so much! I've been looking all over for a way to convert them.

And to mr. Bigfoot, I do own a mac. I'm modifying my PC to look like a Mac because I love the aqua interface as well as it presents a challenge for me.

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Just checked for updates on my Windows 11  machines and my Windows 10 machines. Windows 10 is getting the June cumulative but my Windows 11 machines aren't finding a June cumulative.  Odd.

    • Microsoft to default-block more files in New Outlook and Outlook Web

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft to default-block more files in New Outlook and Outlook Web by Sayan Sen Back in 2019, Microsoft announced a big change to its list of blocked file types for attachments. At the time, Microsoft stated that it was doing so to improve security by adding "file extensions to the BlockedFileTypes property of existing OwaMailboxPolicy objects." The tech giant deems such file types as no longer secure for attachments and is a good way to protect customers from potentially malicious attacks from threat actors. Over time the company has expanded the block list for Outlook for the Web and also the New Outlook for Windows app. In a new message via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, the company has announced that two more such file types will be added. However, the tech giant feels this should not affect most users, as these "newly blocked file types are rarely used." It writes: "As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance security in Outlook Web and the New Outlook for Windows, we’re updating the default list of blocked file types in OwaMailboxPolicy. Starting in early July 2025, the following file types will be added to the BlockedFileTypes list: .library-ms .search-ms" For admins, Microsoft says that no action is required if their respective organisations do not rely on the aforementioned file attachments. However, if they are still in use, then admins can "add them to the AllowedFileTypes property of your users’ OwaMailboxPolicy objects before the rollout." Speaking of which, this is set as a "major change" with the rollout expected to start in early July 2025. You can find information on how to do that in the official documentation on Microsoft's website here. For those wondering, the following file types are allowed by default: ".avi, .bmp, .doc, .docm, .docx, .gif, .jpg, .mp3, .one, .pdf, .png, .ppsm, .ppsx, .ppt, .pptm, .pptx, .pub, .rpmsg, .rtf, .tif, .tiff, .txt, .vsd, .wav, .wma, .wmv, .xls, .xlsb, .xlsm, .xlsx, .zip" You can find the list of blocked file types here on this Microsoft support article on the company's official website. If you are a system admin, you can view the message on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center under ID MC1090702.
    • TB Header / JTBT1 - MSI MAG Tomahawk

      By aclarke_31 · Posted

      Thanks Nik. This card is kinda what I'm looking for. Do you know if this connects to the motherboard via the TB Header / JTBT1 Header or if this is via the PCI Express slot? I was wondering if there was just a cable I could purchase that would give me a TB connection, since the header is already on the mainboard. Thanks
