Field Note #5 @Aydinz 2008-10-18

how do you make those stacks display an overlay icon? is there anyway to do it other then just having a stack icon being the first file in the folder?

Field Note #6 @nfoav8or 2008-10-18

2 ways... change the creation date of the overlay and/or place spaces in the front of the name. This will make them appear in the front.

Field Note #7 @Aydinz 2008-10-19

but there is no way to place the overlay in without putting the overlay icon in the actual stack folder?

Field Note #8 @nfoav8or 2008-10-19

Nope (or at least not that I know of anyways). When you place a folder in the dock it simply shows you the contents. I haven't dug too far into the core of the system to find out the answer to this though. It makes sense to me that there wouldn't be a way to place an overlay on top of the other contents of a folder in the dock and still be able to see those contents without it being in the folder itself.

Field Note #9 @Aydinz 2008-10-25

my latest shot love my hack atm. cant get enough of it, lol my next venture is to get rid of my WINHD and Backup drive on my desktop but i dont understand how to do it, even though i read that tut that Voyn1x wrote, it still doesnt work for me

Field Note #10 @nfoav8or 2008-10-25

haha, I love the shot of infinitemac minimized in firefox! way to show love.

Field Note #11 @Voyn1x 2008-10-25

Hey Aydinz, i've just realised that your system is pretty much the same as mine other than the graphics card :

I haven't come across many people with this mobo (Y)

Field Note #12 @Aydinz 2008-10-25

@ Voyn1x:
lol yeah i noticed that a while back as well i thought it was quite a coincidence...lol all it means is that anything that works for you on osx86 should work for me as well

@ nfoav8or:
Yeh, lately it has been one of my most frequently vistied websites, not just for my help but to read on other peoples problems to gain insight into the osx86 world of AMD and also to be able to help if i know whats wrong, but it seems you guys are too fast every time i find one...its already been answered

@ BHast2: Nice shot, i was using Blob icons for a while but then got bored of em you have a lot of stacks LOL i was like WOW and you seem to have a different client for every messenger...you could just use Adium like i do. it has all the different clients and is fully customizable also, what are all the different icons you have in your menubar, just like to know so that if the apps are good i can go get them as well

Field Note #13 @bhast2 2008-10-26

Ya I know about Adium (I don't like it) so i don't use it

if i close all my apps the all you will see on my dock is finder and all the stacks and of course trash.
in my menubar
linkinus, dropbox, skitch, coversutra, grabup, mainmenu, eject, sound, clock, username, spotlight

anything else you want to know
