After finding a Photoshop plug-in that allows me to save .ico file, effectively enabling me to create my own windows icons, I have decided to take my Mass Effect obsession to a new level and make ME icons for everything. So far I've only shrunk down a couple concept art files that I have. My Networks is now a group shot of Shepard, Garrus, and Ashley, and My Computer is now a picture of the Normandy (unfortunately the icon files can only be 255 pixels high or wide and as such they are pretty tiny). I'm not sure what I'm going to use for the recycle bin because I want something similar but different for the empty and full versions, and I was going to use a render of the stock male Shepard for My Documents, but he gets stretched so I'll have to work with it a little. So yeah, eventually I'll have a complete Mass Effect desktop theme going on, and I might even do some research on making my own cursors. I really want to find a way to separate the sound files from some of the vids. If I can do that then I can make my computer play ME clips when I shut down or boot up or other such things that include sound effects. I'd really like to get a sound clip of Liara saying "goodbye Shepard" from the conversation vid and set it to play when I shut down my computer, but again it depends on if I can find a way to separate the sound file, or possibly record it. Anyway, I should really be getting some sleep before tomorrow, and I'll have all weekend to work more on my little ME project. Wish me luck with it and hopefully I'll make some progress by next week.

Later,
