Miss the old .Mac logo & related graphics like I do? Well, I luckily backed up all of them before updating. I opened the leaked MobileMe update in Pacifist & saw what was going to be changed. (Mods, let me know if this violates some forum rules at all, don't think it does though)
As a warning, I'm not responsible for any possible damage that this replacement might cause (don't see any chance of anything bad happening but, whatever).
Place the contents of "Prefpane graphics.zip" into:
System/Library/PreferencePanes/Mac.prefPane/Resources
Place the contents of "AOS Graphics.zip" into:
System/Library/CoreServices/AOS.bundle/Resources
"UpdateNotificationAlertGraphic.tiff" will still be a MobileMe icon. There was none for .Mac
Place the contents of "CoreTypes Graphics.zip" into:
System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Resources
Besides the one exception stated above, all graphics should be able to be replaced. Logout/ Restart & that shiny blue orb should be back where it belongs
Note: this is just a GRAPHICAL replacement. Attempting to do a full-on string replacement (to bring back all references to .Mac) would cause problems with other apps unfortunately. Hope this replacement process does help though
