I'm wondering if you can tell me where to get the icons in your dock. I really like them all :)

Most of them I have found on macthemes2.net or from Jonas Rask. The folders are from the Aquave Project. The finder icon is from a application called Process.

Hmm, could it be the font size on your menu bar? I've downloaded your screenshot and full-screened it through Quick Look. Moving my mouse to the top of the screen overlays my menu bar over the picture, and your menu bar is clearly smaller than mine. Something I've noticed is that the text in your menu bar is smaller?

Is this just an error of the picture?

Odd, I don't know. This is a fresh install of Leopard (Thanks to the POS software called Parallels). The only thing I really changed was the color settings in which I use the TV gamma instead of the default settings which appear washed out to me.

bump??
Sorry I suck at returning PMs - I uploaded it here for you. I think that is the one you requested.

Let me know if it isn't and I will find it for you

My menu bar is the same size - nothing changed about it that I know of.

My dock is a little larger than what Apple sets it to (standard) size. As far as decrease in the work area it isn't that much of a difference on m 17" MBP. Plus the icons are sexy and I hate not being able to see the details of them on the smaller dock.

Wallpaper can be found here

The dock is actually called PDock (you can find it on deviantart) I then took the separators from my Niqu Maxified Dock and put them with it.

Hope that helps :D

and quite a nice job you did, farewell, nice job indeed. :)

:o New dock? Link?

And regarding that trash icon, maybe it's just me, but the two vertical white lines.. one of them is always black and one is always white. They alternate as I change the size of the dock and it takes a specific dock size to make them both white at the same time. Does that happen to you too?

Is that Adium or iChat? If it's Adium, is that dock icon iBubble 3? Yours seems to be shaded nicer and looks better than what I'm using

And regarding Quillz, he has officially switched to Windows Vista :(

Not quite... I did on my MacBook, but I was having more difficulty on my iMac due to my three external all being formatted as HFS Plus. So I actually deleted the partition on my iMac and am running OS X exclusively. But Vista gives me better battery life on my MacBook.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
