    Does IE for windows still have trouble displaying transparent PNGs like these?

    Yes it does, I'm in school right now using Win2k with IE 5.5, and the PNG's aren't transparent.

    Mac's Girl: If you press Apple+Shift+4 you can select an area of the screen instead of the whole thing.



    There is also a command you can give through Terminal to select the output format (jpg, tiff, etc... tiff is default).



    You can also use TinkerTool to access this type of option.

    or you do that:



    Apple's Cocoa Development mailing list archives contain an interesting snippet that explains how to change the default screenshot (command-shift-3 and -4) format from TIFF to JPEG, PICT or PNG. The original article can be seen here (read the dialog box for the username and password), but it's basically a one-line terminal command:



    defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleScreenShotFormat imageFormat



    Replace imageFormat with one of JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or PICT to change the format of the screenshot.

    IE6 on XP doesn't display the transparency. One of the many reasons I use Mozilla generally.

That is not a jpg; it's a tif. I think some browsers may not handle it properly if you give it the wrong extension.

    before i assign these new Xicons to various folders, is there anyway to revert back to the originals (just in case)?



    my desktop is so sloppy right now, icons floating all over the place. i've been doing some rearranging and organizing, so i should post it up soon as im done.
