Got bored of my earlier desktop, so here's another:

How did you get your HD to show how much capacity was left? Mine only shows the total capacity

Nice shots guys!

I know it's a little off topic, but what type of monitor do you have?

 

[Psychopulse]

iMac G5 20"

Here's May;

Hmm...Is it just irony that you have Proteus open she looks like a prostitute?

 

[imacintel]

I love airplanes. Too much I had about 150 on my old machine, but let it go for a mac. See desktop at http://www.putfile.com/tpcookie!

Finder -> View -> Show View Options -> Show Item Info

I've got that checked but all I have is this:

I've got that checked but all I have is this:

Try reducing text size down to 10 pt (same place as Show Item Info)...

Thanks for your advice, but that doesn't help either.

 

[slooksterPSV]

Here's mine, if it helps.

Hmmm... weird... works fine here...



What happens if you position the label to the Right instead of the Bottom?

 

[G99]

Here's mine, if it helps.

I made my settings identical to yours, but still I can't get the "space remaining". What version of Tiger are you people running, and are you guys an admin of your mac?

I tried that. I think it may have something to do over whether you're an admin or not. Are you an admin user?

 

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

Are you an admin user?

Yes. I'll check my non-admin account...

Edit: Quite right. When logged in as a standard user I don't get the free space info on the boot drive... I get it for the externals, though...



Must be a permissions thing...

Thank you for being so patient with me..

No problem...

 

[G99]

Yes. I'll check my non-admin account...

Thought so. I'm not an admin, so I can't get that, I guess. I wonder why though. If I click on my HD, I can find out how much is left anyway. Strange...
Thanks for your help, anyhow.

A little plain, but it looks nice and the glossy screen...

 

[slooksterPSV]

Non-admins don't have access to that kind of power? Strange.

I think if you mess around with ownership and permissions, you can get it to work though. This is because I can see how much space is left on different volumes, and removable drives.
