I wanna know where to get some free icons like the ones seen in the "So, whats everyones desktop look like?" forum. I saw ozmosisq3's ikons and I thought those were pretty cool.
Any Suggestions?

Some nice icons over at Dot Studios and also at M's Factory. To use these spiffy icons, you need a program that will let you change your icons. I use Microangelo. It's shareware, but as far as I know the trial never wears out. There are other free ones out there, just look around.

Those sites seem to be for PCs. Does anyone know where I can find MAC icons?

Thanx PuckDewd and [Optima] anyway.

Ever tried using the "Mac" section on the Google search engine? www.google.com/mac Type in "icons" in the search directory and it will bring back a list of ALOT of places that have Mac icons (probably because they are easier to change on a Mac). Anyways, I hope that helps you out better than the other sites I listed.

Thanx PuckDewd

www.google.com/mac is really a great site.
Thank You

Thank YOU
I was getting tired of the same old folder icons on my desktop.
What about tips on making icons myself. How would I do that and what would I need. What are good guidelines to follow when making them?
Thank You

Hmmmm Making them yourself? It's been a while since I have been on a Mac (hopefully tha will be changing very soon), but I looked around for ya and I think this program might be what you are looking for to do just that. Icon Machine

Yeah it is a great program Zap (I use it myself), but WildMyth is needing programs for a Mac. Microangelo as far as i know of is just a Windoze program.
