Thanks mate ;)

Anyways, got bored of my desktop... Overhaul it a bit and it looks like this :-


And what are the rates for service for that Taxi ? :D

And speaking of SuperGT( which you have in your sig file), do you think there'll be a wallpaper of the GT300 Z4 out anytime soon? ;)

The rate of a lap around the Nurburgring in the Ring-Taxi costs €185 (about $250)... Very reasonable for a die-hard Nurburgring fan :lol:

Eeerrmmm.... GT300 Z4?? Is there a Z4 in the GT300 class?? I don't really get this one.
 
Cool, thanks. Got it all sorted now;

Thanks, HFS! 👍

Wallpaper please? That looks great!!!

Also how did you get your icons like that? I have the regular set of those icons but what I mean is how did you change the colors of some of the text...

I believe the icon set is called "Helveticons". Some icons, like the iTunes icon for example, have alternating version with either colour or regular white font.

Thanks! I did as Homeforsummer posted, it's fairly easy as long as you follow the instructions.

Here's the original paper; ORIGINAL

Here is the darkened version I'm using at the minute so the icons are more visible; DARKENED
 
Nice one Bram, are those icons on the dock made by you?

Thanks!

The icons are called "Iconpack". Although I did make my own Rocketdock icon set, it was a first one but I don't like it. I need to do a new set soon. I've also thought about making an own Rocketdock skin. you can find my iconpack on my DeviantART, the link is in my sig. They are no good, but a view is always nice to have :P
 
I have candybar but my free trial is already up. :/

It is still possible to replace all the icons without Candybar, you'll just have to dig around to change Finder and Trash. Applications can be changed by clicking Get Info on the App and dragging the new icon over the old one in the top left of the box.

Okay, thanks. I'll give a try later on tonight.

The massive N is my Mac HD shortcut, I just renamed it with a space to get rid of the text. Switched around the colour of the Helveticons to full black.
 
Alright, thanks for the help guys. I really appreciate it. I have another question though because this is something that has always kind of gotten on my nerves with having a mac... Is there any way where I can have my dock not hidden at all times but have pages over lap the dock instead of the page being shorter? If that makes sense. Also is there an icon by chance in the helveticon set for last.fm and adium?

I don't think that is possible.

There is no icon for last.fm or adium but if you have Photoshop you can always make your own. I made an Adium Dock icon package thing to match the set which I could upload somewhere if somebody told me a no-registration upload site.

EDIT: GRRRRR.... I've tried loads of upload sites and not a single one is responding to the upload, the file is only 500kb.

It's cool man, thanks for you trying though. I'll just remove it from the dock or something. I can't figure out how to change finder/the trash can. Also is there like an applications icon or something in helveticons to replace the folder icon?
 
You can drag them behind the dock, but not infront of it. Or is that what you meant?

Nope, I just didn't think it was possible to drag behind the dock. After a little observation though I believe it could be application dependant, I cannot drag behind the dock with Firefox but I can with Photoshop.
