+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I have my trash can set as a virtual cache Quote Link to comment

+CacheCreatures Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I have my trash can set as a virtual cache How rude! I've got my virus scanner set as a travel bug. If you feel guilty about stealing them, I'd be happy to sell them to you for $20. Criminal, everyone knows you overcharge. You can get them from me at cost for $15. No markup I swear.

+The Weasel Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I'm surprised somebody hasn't come up with a geocaching theme complete with wallpaper, pointers, icons, and sounds. Although I wonder what sound you would use Quote Link to comment
+TeamK-9 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 I'm surprised somebody hasn't come up with a geocaching theme complete with wallpaper, pointers, icons, and sounds. Although I wonder what sound you would use Probably the sacred FTF song... Quote Link to comment

uperdooper Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 i made one using the signal wallpaper from the site. i have different kinds of bugs for all the cursors, a backpack for the my computer icon, a (forbidden), jackknife as another icon, and a globe for the recycle bin. the sounds are different bird noises. i changed the appearance to match the wallpaper. pretty much everything is scavanged from somewhere on the internet.

+GeckoGeek Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Although I wonder what sound you would use Hmmmm. Sound of a ammo can opening, closing, sliding among rocks. Golf balls in a ammo can. The sounds of footsteps in the mud. Tupperware. Rain, wind in the trees. What's more fun is to think up the sounds associated with errors. The sound of a cacher putting their hand in something yucky. (slush - *ick*). Falling down a hillside, or worst of all, an avalanche with a scream. Brings new meaning to the word "crash". Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Couple Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 A crazy question but here goes. How do you change your icons from the little yellow folder to lets say a cache box unopened? I've got the pic downloaded and ready to go but don't have a clue as to how to change it? Any ideas? Thanks, Dwayne Quote Link to comment
+Cache Viking Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 ... I wonder what sound you would use Sax music and a singing cat. Quote Link to comment
martmann Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 In win XP: Right click on the folder, and select "Properties" click the "Customize" tab click "Change Icon" button Click the "Browse" button to navigate to the ico file you want to use click OK. in win 98 sometimes you can't change the icon (this way) for a folder on the desk top, but you can for a shortcut to a folder somewhere else. You can use a bitmap (.bmp) as an icon, just change the file type to .ico, I use 40 x 40 pixels. Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Couple Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Thanks Martmann for your help. I run Windows ME. Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment
+drtmn Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Here is one that I found on XP that I have been using to put my .gpx and .loc files in Quote Link to comment
WH Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 The recyle bin on my computer is a toilet. It makes a flushing sound whenever i empty it. CITO Quote Link to comment

+Mopar Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Thanks Martmann for your help. I run Windows ME. Thanks anyway! It's pretty much the same idea. You should be able to fig it out from his instructions, if ya give it a try. Quote Link to comment
+The Cache Couple Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Yea, I used his instructions and it works fine with ME. I had to create a shortcut to that particular folder then it allowed me to change the icon. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment
+Doc-Dean Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 I use my avatar jpg as my geocaching folder icon. Quote Link to comment
