If, dear reader, you are anything like me - and if you are reading this, you do, I hate to inform you, share certain characteristics with my humble self, for instance, I know for a fact that you have the ability to read English and also a small and annoying mole on the left hand side of the neck which occasionally speaks - you have numerous different folders present in whatever Difference Engine it is that you use regularly relating to Second Life. For instance, I personally have one to store photographs and one for textures, inside each of which are numerous smaller folders, as well as one for sounds converted to the correct format, one for chat logs, one for blackmail information and so on. It may at times be awkward to immediately recognise these folders amongst many others, where they are wont to congregate, folders being gregarious things which frequently multiply.
All that aside, the point of this entry is to make it known that I have designed a few Icons for such Folders, at least for Engines of the Apple type that use OS X.

One may download all three icons here. To use them with one’s own folders:
- “Get Info” (Apple-I) on both the desired folder you wish to change, and the new folder - this should result in two windows;
- Click on the folder icon on the top left of the Info window of the new folder, so that the icon is highlighted, and copy it (Apple-C);
- Click on the top left folder icon for your folder, and paste the icon (Apple-V).
Of course, the Scary Green Eye Hand Thing is a trademark of Linden Labs not Ordinal Enterprises, these icons are purely for personal use and not for any sort of garage sale etc etc. I merely made them to prettify my own Engine slightly and thought that others might appreciate the same.

I should load your cannons and man your defenses if I were you, Miss Malaprop, for it seems a slight possibility the Linden Lab lawyers will come calling, waving new terms of service, if you sell anything but advertising on your site.
You are not permitted to use the marks “Second Life”, “Linden Lab”, the eye-in-hand logo, or any other trade, service or other marks registered to or owned by Linden Lab, except as explicitly authorized by Linden Lab and in accordance with guidelines posted at http://secondlife.com/community/fansites_regs.php.
