You download some on deviantART.

I don't know what the weather thing is though. Probably a widget?

Okay thanks! How do I download them? Do I have to put them in a certain folder to work? or what.

You can just download them anywhere.
Then:
Right click on the one you want to change > Properties > Customize > Change Icon > Browse.
And go to the image you downloaded for it.

There's another way to do it by adding it into the system shell, but that's harder, sorta.

It's Objectdock, the weather thing is a Yahoo Widget.

You're using ObjectDock right?
Right click > Dock Entry Properties > remove the title.

If it's just a regular desktop icon, I think you right click > properties > remove the title.

No, I don't really know what ObjectDock is. But when i try to remove it, it says I have to enter a title.

Hm. I'm not sure if you can really remove the title completely, now that I try it.
I found this http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/icn_desk.html ... maybe if you look at "Icons with no name," it'll help. But I'll keep looking for you. Otherwise, sorry, you might be out of luck? pinch.gif

EDIT.
This is easier to understand, and I think it might work.

And I think I was mistaken. You can just right click > rename, instead of going to props.
Good luck. [:

^ It's a compressed folder. Your computer should be able to open it..
When you find the icons, drag and drop them into a different folder. You should be able to use it that way.

Never mind, I uninstalled it and downloaded ObjectDock instead. I downloaded a Firefox image, how do I put it on my ObjectDock?

Drag Firefox into ObjectDock > Right click > Dock Entry Properties > Change image > Choose the image.
