Telltale Games

Alcoremortis · 05/20/2010, 10:46 pm

This is sorta random, but one weird thing that I just noticed is that PC users tend to keep most of their icons on the left side of the screen and Mac users keep most icons on the right. I have no idea why this is, especially because I am both a Mac and a PC user and I keep the icons on the right on my Mac and on the left on my PC. I guess it might just be due to factory settings or general accessibility or something, but I just find it a bit weird.

Maybe I'll switch all my icons around and see what happens.

maybe its because that's where icons defaultly go?

Yeah, I just tried switching all my icons to the other side of my monitor on my Mac and they wouldn't go to the edge, which was sort of annoying (I attached a screenshot). I'm going to move them back now.

I guess that answered my question. But now I'm curious as to why Apple decided to make the factory settings different from every other computer out there.

whoa! what's with that tomb of sammun-mak icon?

Alcoremortis · 05/20/2010, 11:02 pm

I don't know. What's with it?

I think that's just the way it came...unless the icon pixies are at it again...

The Highway · 05/20/2010, 11:03 pm

maybe you just need to increase the icon size? (i dont know if you can do that on a mac...)

*GuruGuru214* · 05/20/2010, 11:05 pm

Oh, fine.

Avistew · 05/20/2010, 11:06 pm

Peer pressure works!
Or you were that bored, I guess?

The Highway · 05/20/2010, 11:08 pm

Good job! Now you're iconimizing like the pros (me and me)

btw, what resolution is your desktop?

I played around with the icon size and it just stays the same way. Maybe this is some sort of weird Mac icon? Ehh, who knows.

1680x1050

And yes, I was bored. Besides, finally playing SBCG4AP is on my to-do list, and the first step is actually installing it.

Um, where do you actually dint the pics for the icons, though?

I might clutter up my desktop with text files and downloaded files/installers that I have to clean up when it gets too cluttered, but I don't fill my desktop with game icons. I especially like Windows 7 for how I can make it look.

The Highway · 05/20/2010, 11:18 pm

i like having my game icons right there for me to see. they take up about half the combined amount of icons i have on my desktop, and they used to be all in folders, the ones on the left side of my screen, and even before that those folders were in another, singular folder. but i dont like that, so i changed it and it suits me now.

No dice. It's on my list, but I'm trying to finish things I've already started before starting new ones.

The Highway · 05/20/2010, 11:21 pm

good idea. my plan right now though, is to play through all the sbcg4ap episodes for the fifth time, but this time i'm recording it with fraps, so i can get cutscene things that I really wanted to be on the dvd.

Chyron8472 · 05/20/2010, 11:28 pm

I put game icons on my desktop only when I'm actively playing them.

I mean, where did you find the icon images themselves?

The Highway · 05/20/2010, 11:31 pm

so, the ones for the files on the left or for the penal zone, launch of screaming narwhal, etc?
