I recently installed this little app, and like the ease of use in adding additional icons. They also have a usable screen to adjust specific icon settings.

I’ve been using Apple computers since 1983 ( I had an Apple IIe), and Macs since 1991. The newest Macs are extremely user friendly, not to mention fast.
My wife who is not a big computer user, uses our Mac with no problems.
Since most of the places I’ve worked have been PC oriented, I have been using PC’s for most of my work related projects, and of course gaming. 🙂
