Gooey Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Well i can't speak for other docks. But with YzDock you drag in a shortcut of uTorrent, right click the shortcut and click "Propertly of Dock Item.." then "Change Icon.." And select your new .PNG or .ICO file. Glad you like it.

This is kind of off topic but how did you get your steam icon to look like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrian Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Both icons are for docks, to download them just right-click and save image as. They're pngs, they're supposed to be. You can convert them to icons yourself with most icon software. I recommend Axialis Iconpackager, which has a trial period, but I'm sure you can google up some freeware. Which leads to...The steam icon is in a dock. As such, and as with every app in it, it has a specified image, which is usually a png and not the default icon of the app. He didn't change steam's icon, he just has a custom icon in his dock. It's very similar to how you can make a shortcut to an app and change the icon of the shortcut, but it doesn't change the actual app icon. Except most custom icons don't always come with 128x128 or higher resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooey Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Thanks for the explanation Darrian Majority of my dock icons can be found on DeviantART in the Icon>Dock icons section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyecue Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 Great icon.Could you try a version with the white border dropped, reduce the size of the white reflect layer by 30%, and then its height by 40%.A green orb with " µ " in it would be simle yet elegant, ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
