I make all of them. I did 'Borrow' the face art for Internet and iLife from Apple though.

Everything else, I modeled and rendered - I actually have an Electric Image Set specifically designed for consistent illumination and renderings for the icons.

any chance of sharing them? hehe

Sure! Profile/Email!

I've 'stuffed' the file - it's now down to ~725kb
 
My dock, I like have everything available within a click. I go to the Applications folder probably every 3 days or so.

Question:

Does more apps on the dock mean you are old OS 9 (and earlier) users?

How many auto-hide the dock?

Me, I keep only the many times per day stuff in the dock (email, web, chat) and the rest I access via the click and hold the Applications folder until the lists pops out thing.

Of course, I can't stand people that leave 57 links on the desktop either, or leaving everything in one folder. I crave organization.

To each their own I suppose.
 
Yz, you may be right. I always keep my dock on and i switched (for osx). As you cna see I only keep the integral apps there too. If i find mself goign for soemthing moreo ften i put it in my dock for a few days.
 
23 including the trash. Most of them are frequently used though some of them such as iMovie and iDVD I just have there for the hell of it.

I have quick access to all my apps and files through my home folder, documents folder, and app folder at the end of the dock.

My dock usually hides on the left side the screen, I rotated it so it would fit better on the forums.

I have 15 items in my dock. I didn't think that I had that many, until I just counted them. The dock takes up about 3/4 of the very bottom of my screen.
 
total...

I have 51 total.

And it's not that I constantly use each one every day. I just like how everything I need, if aand when I need it, is at the bottom of my screen. I hide the dock too so it's not constantly staring back at me.

For me, it's just easier with all of them there.
 
There are 7
Finder,
Text Edit,
iTunes,
folder for browsers and URL Bookmark Pro,
folder for favourite Jaguar apps
folder for favourite utilities
folder for maintenance utilities
Trash

Anyone know where to find a disc shaped calculator to finish off my Applications folder?

I create aliases for the folders using a script that doesnt add "alias" to each app title. Wow! 🙂
 
Well when i started this thread i never thought it would turn out this long...
anyways i have just cleaned my dock and went from 54 to 40 icons yay!
anyways, how do you take a screenshot?
 
You can use grab, or if you want to be a real geek, use command-shift-3 to take a full screen shot, or command-shift-4 to take a picture of a selection of the screen.
 
Shift + Apple +4 gives you a little crosshair you drag it over your space it captures it and makes a .pdf on your desktop. Then you open preview and export as jpeg.

edit thanks wes: I think there are oither shift-apple-number combos but i do not have thme on hand.


great topic tooi'm glad someoen gave me a chance to show off my icons.
 
open up the .pdf in preview and hit export under file. Then you will be able to save it as a jpeg. Enjoy
 
ok cool thanks.. i guess im blindf, because when i looked before i didnt see that

I'm on a crap PC at work, but running through them in my head, I count 18 on the dock back home, with proably about 8 on the "streamlined" powerbook. Always use auto-hide and magnify, beacuse they are just that cool.

I visited a friend of mine the other day who I hadn't seen in awhile. He bought a powerbook a few months back and I was helping him set up his airport. He was messing with my powerbook and then excalimed, "This is cool! How do you get the icons to get bigger when you select them?" I thought everyone new about that feature!

I keep as few icons as possible on desktop.
 
can someone explain to me why people send things in pdf form? can't you just use graphicconverter, or snapz pro X to save them as GIF or JPG so we can see them without clicking?
 
I have 30 icons in my dock, as you can see in the attached picture. I use most of them almost every day, the rest are ones that I'd rather not have to navigate to, or would forget I had if they weren't in there. 😉
