Converting Mac OS X icons to Windows XP?

[Valkyre]

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?

and set the cross platform to:

always

never

then you can drop the extracted folder onto icon shop

also look at the iconshop help

Why not just get a mac? I can't understand why everyone swears by a pc and then tries to make it look like a mac. Just doesn't make sense to me. I'm not saying that it's wrong but I just don't understand.

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.

Cpu number is higher on PC but,that doesent mean that much ;)

Macs(G4s) are faster,yes they are :)

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.
