Having mucked around with the SystemIcons.bundle, I have changed the 'Computer' icon (by default a snow iMac) that resides commonly in the Finder window toolbar, to a picture of my PowerBook G3 Wallstreet.
At the same time, I've customised my PC to look as much like the Mac as possible:
- I've copied all the desktop pictures over to the PC, and applied the same one to both computers (Faux Fur).
- I've copied all the Resources inside the Beach screensaver into a single folder on the PC and set it as a slideshow screensaver, with 10 second intervals and no transition effects on both.
- I have StyleXP using Iceman's Jaguar theme to make all the windows looking like Mac ones (Mac scrollbars, the white background with the stripes, the traffic-light buttons; the works), plus it makes the taskbar look like the menu in the mac, once placed at the top of the screen.
- I have Y'z Dock, Y'z Shadow, and Y'z Toolbar all working simultaneously to emulate the finishing touches; the dock; shadows around windows and the taskbar; and the Finder icons in IE and Explorer windows.
But, out of preference, I have put a shortcut to My Computer in my Y'z Dock, with the Powerbook G3 icon I made as the icon, next to the Trash can, like it would be on the mac. I want to know how I can make a shortcut on the Mac, in the actual Dock to the 'Computer' - the Root directory. Not the Harddrive, but the computer, so I can browse the network from it too.
Is it possible? I could have sworn I saw someone who had done it...
