    ... I like to customize my notebooks by changing the "My Computer" icon to the actual computer instead of the generic Windows "My Comp" icon. I just found a stock photo on the WWW and stuck a favorite wallpaper in it with CS5. My favorite program to show off these high def pngs is ObjectDock.

    I hope you like and use it (^_^).

    Wow, very nice! I'm usually a big fan of the generic icons for ObjectDock and only use generic icons but I am seriously going to have to use this because it actually came out perfectly when I loaded it up (it's too bad though that I have an X200 instead and so it looks COMPLETELY different from an X201 :p). Fantastic work and rep! :D

    Thanks for the positive feedback and rep NeeGo (^_^), right back at ya!

    I would have responded earlier but I was taking a ride on the ban wagon for a few days cause my avatar ( >_>)sniff.

    Anyway, I updated the png file and uploaded some more icons to match because I found a higher rez image to work with.

    If anyone has a special request go ahead and PM me or respond here, I'll try to accommodate your request.





    Notice I added some glowing lights? I like my bling.

    EDIT: Someone edited my original second post and made the png files into click-able thumbnails (assume the pic was too big). Just right click on the thumbnail and "save as" ".png", do not click the thumbnail and save the full view as this will only give you the option to save as "btmap" image with no transparency. It will look like crap if you use the btmap with ObjectDock. The zip files are Windows compatible icons.
