Quick question anyone whom this applies to... how do you get your desktop icons without any text? Can this be done without a 3rd-party app, if you just leave a space in the name, will it show up like that inside Finder windows and such? I want to have a desktop icon without text, but I want it to be named inside Finder windows. Also, making an alias doesn't look good because that little black arrow is present. Thanks for the help.

I was just curious just because I see a lot of screen shots in this thread with text-less icons. The thing is, I want it to say "iMac G5" inside Finder windows/save dialouges/etc. - but just not on the desktop.

edit: I could make an alias for my hard disk icon, except that it'll look bad on the desktop with the arrow IMO, and the shots in this thread do not look like aliases, they look like the real thing.

and then you can use candybar to change the alias overlay to a blank icon.

Thanks for the advice, but since I only want do this to my main HD icon, and maybe one folder, can this be done through the OS someone, some way without 3rd-party apps? Maybe Terminal? Or are there any other solutions. I would like to do this w/o spending money, and, if I don't have to screw with the OS too much to do so. Like, when Apple releases OS X updates where it may screw things up or something.
