[help] Icons

Okay I've been browsing around here for a while and some of you have created some beautiful themes. I'm using a panther theme and I've downloaded some icons for it. Now how do I get the icons to show up full sized? I have the stardock Icon program and I've already aplplied the icons I want, they just aren't big enough so they look awful.

Everytime I see a screenshot of someones theme they've created they have these wonderful large mac icons. Can someone help?

on the desktop?

here's how to get large desktop icons: http://www.xicons.com/articles/winxp128.php

but you'll have large icons everywhere.

if you just want large icons on the desktop, you need to use an app like samurize, desktopx, avedesk, or windowsfx.

Right click the desktop

Go to the Appearance tab

Click effects

Check "Use Large Icons"

Or

Click on Advanced from the same place

Select "Icon" from the drop down menu

Choose your size

(most icon's max size is 128x128)

If you want to make only the desktop icons big you can use Desktop X 2 - it's come with app that cold Icon X, this app can make the desktop icons big.
