I have a simple question since i am a noob to the world of macs.

How do you show the hard drive info (capacity and disk space usage) on the desktop?

I tried searching... but I have spent nearly half an hour and couldnt find this info.

Thanks in advance...

Go to the Finder.

Press Cmd-J.

Check "Show Item Info".

Done.

PS: What the hell is up with your post count? :wacko:

Best Mac icons site I've found so far is http://interfacelift.com/icons-mac/ (or www.xicons.com)

Here's my desktop:

The wallpaper comes from here: http://hakubaikou.deviantart.com/ (not mine.... only wish I could make somehting like that.). Yes, its Kenshin. I'm totally blown away by the quality of the work here. Its almost unrivaled in terms of other work I've seen before.

Otherwise everything is pretty simple. My dock has all the apps I regularly use and I haven't done much in customizing the system.

# GuiKit: Somatic from http://www.dlanham.com/goodies/somatheme/

# Wallpaper:Growing Grasses

# Icons: Somatic - all part of the kit I think. and the others all from iconfactory

# No special programs running

I can try and remember exact links if people ask.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
