hey network icon on desktop

[rubah]

why can't I move you around?

is this some weird quirk like you can't be connected to a network to be able to move it?

[o_O]

Are we talking Windows or OSX here? I can move the network icon around on both XP and Vista. :p

Quick steps to fixing:
1) Find a Windows machine
2) move around the My Network Icon until you get bored of playing with it
3) Go back to using your own computer?

On a serious note does Mac have the ability to lock an item via any properties dialogues?

Take a screenshot, paste it into Photoshop, select the icon area and move it for as long as you like.

[rubah]

you guys think you're so funny.

(I want to move it so it doesn't clash with my background image!)

That's what you get for being a Mac user.*nursery-school supervisor look*

Can't you just delete it?

[o_O]

How about you find the icon wherever it's stored on OSX and craft yourself a new one? :p

Or just upgrade to Windows 95.

[rubah]

You can't delete it. It's the network. I could pull the ethernet cord, but then I couldn't use the internet :p

That's what wireless is for :p

[rubah]

it doesn't reach up to the top floors here, and technically we're not supposed to have our own routers because usually people don't set them up correctly.

I take it my post is invisible then ;_;

*pat shoulder* Happens. I'm sure rubah still likes you though!:p

[rubah]

Baloki, I don't own it, so I can't modify it.

[Baloki]

Baloki, I don't own it, so I can't modify it.

Then take ownership :p?

[rubah]

I can't unless I'm owner!

Can you start Aqua as root? Can you get root access?

su -c 'chown rubahness /path/to/network/icon'?

su -c 'chmod 777 /path/to/network/icon'?
