heyhey everyone, i was bored, and looking at destop setups for disney, but found none for WDW. so i thought if i cant find , make, but how can you get your own picture instead of example. the documents or folders, my computer recycle bin, etc thanks

Check out The Disney Experience . It contains pre-existing desktop icons and tells you how to make your own also.

There is also a desktop application (called "Ripple" or something) that makes the lower half of your screen look like it is rippling water and reflects the image and icons from the top half of the screen. My desktop is a picture of DTD West Side from the water at night- it looks incredible with the ripple effect!

Hope this helps!

umm yea, i was looking how, and i can find how to on the bottom icons beside start, but not the my computer ones and etc on the big screen, maybe im doing it wrong , i usually go into properties then change icon, but for the desktop ones, there is nothing that says that

hey, now, I know that the Disney experience has great icons, and i was wondering would any of you be kind enough to share icons from Disney Experience before April 2003? (I started in April of 2003 so actually before march of 2003)....If you did I would be very happy! :sohappy: Thank you!
