Thanks again For all the help! I guess now I can put up my first effort! way simple but that how I like it, more to come as i know im gonna have quite a bit of fun with this!

Wow, that's awesome. Can you PM me your geektools scripts so i can set that up too? I would appreciate it. :)
 
Currently, to change the color of your ical icon, you have to do it manually. I used to use iconical to do it, much easier. It's broken after I installed Snow Leopard, so we are left waiting on an update. If anyone here wants to know how to change it manually, fire me a pm...

how do u get your folder icons like that?

Well first download the Movie cover art to your desktop (Eg. Scarface.jpg)

Download and install IMG2ICNS software

Drag the Coverart image file (Scarface.jpg) into IMG2ICNS and save a ICNS file (Scarface.icns)

(Do this for all the movies, so that you will have a bunch of .ICNS files)

Open up the Movies folder and right-click on the movie file say Scarface.mp4 -> Select "Get Info"

Drag the Scarface.icns file into the icon in the Get Info pane

Do this for rest of the movie files and ICNS files

In the movie folder, right-click -> VIEW -> AS ICONS (If not already done so)

Finally, in the Movie folder again, right-click -> SHOW VIEW OPTIONS -> ICON SIZE increase it to say 128x128 and voila! You are done! :)

Phew! Hope it helps!
