So ever have one of thbos afternoons when ypu just want to watch a little NCAA and you end up screwing with your laptop for way too long becuase a piece of crap software decides to act up? That's where I am right now with SS...
I run a neat little program called OSXplanet. Nice little donatewear program that looks cool and is very nicely designed. So today I am at this forum and see the new Docinium icon set and think they'd look nice on the desktop. Except how to apply? Figure its a container so lets do CandyBar except no go becuase I'm running SS. So I go into SS and set the icons to default which should allow me to run CabdyBar except now my OSXplanet desktop doesn't show up any more. And my Mighty Mouse curser is gone and why is any software so friggin' sensitive? So I guess my next step is to waht-uninstall SS and see if that brings back the desktop? And what happened to MM?

not sure about the rest of the problems, but i know MM has to have MM cursor and the SS cursor be set to the same cursor. really stupid, i think. SS should be cheaper and get rid of MM pane, so only have to do 1 set of settings.

In order to use that icon set, you have to replace the icns files in the Resources folder of each app. (i think)

Correct. The .icontainer file is for Pixadex not CandyBar, and the resources have to be replaced inside of each application.

To fix any problem that may have been caused, try deleting the SS cache file and reapplying your theme etc.
