What computer/tablet is that? :o
Also, how did you make all the apps/logos have ponies? even Minecraft and Firefox. :/


It's just a regular desktop computer (Debian with Gnome3). As for the icons, there are people online who make those (mostly on deviantart). I put some of them together myself (like the LyX one) but it was mostly just a lot of work searching and collecting. :)

I was surprised to see that there wasn't just a ponified Minecraft icon, but a ponified Minecraft Tekkit icon. I mean, that's a whole extra level of fan derivatives. :P

In Gnome (and I suspect most Linux desktop environments), it's basically as easy as putting a folder with the properly named icon files in your home directory. :D

In WinXP and before, it was just right click, "Properties", "Icon", "Choose from Folder".
I've never tried it with Win7, I'm assuming it's the same. Vista doesn't exist.

There aren't many options. That Mac thing, and that's basically it.

I cannot post mine because it is against NS rules. Needless to say, you also have to be 18 or older to see it (some other places you have to be older).
