Set icon and restart computer.

^^ will a simple logout solve the problem? or do i have to restart it? because ive done the logouts and they some of them still wont show

So I set up Spaces and assigned certain apps in each space.

I'm not sure if this is correct but, in order to go to say Space 2, 3, or 4, I need to go to Space 1,5 or 6 first then continue holding Cmd while pressing2,3 or 4. I can't go directly to Space 2,3, or 4. Is this normal?

I have 6 spaces altogether. I can go directly to Space 1, space 5, and space 6.

Someone shed some light.

Also, setting up Time Machine, how much should I partition from my internal hdd?

 

[silentxnight]

does anyone know why certain icons arent changing? like dashboard, ical, and some others. thanks.

drag it to the trash, or simply re-drag it to your dock. Mac's make everything reallllly simple to do.

Hey thanks man. I think i read ur post on how to do it when u just wrote it out like 3 posts before mine lol. But i stillhavent figured out why my icons wont show up for certain folders. If i have something in a folder like my documents folder, itll show up as the blue defaultfolder, but if the folder is empty, my icon will show. Do you know how to fix that? thanks.
