INSTALL:

This icon set comprises a zip archive containing a Mac OSX folder. This folder contains the icons, which are are formatted as Mac OSX folders.

To install, download and uncompress the zip archive to your desktop. Open the folder. You should be able to simply drag the folders within to any location and fill them as you wish.

You may also use the folder icons for any number of additional folders. Click on a Junior Skeptic icon folder to select it, then type "command+I" (that's the command key and the letter I key at the same time -- the command key is the squiggly one beside the space bar. Do not also press the "plus" key). This will open an information window about the folder you've selected. In the upper left of the information window you'll see a small preview image of the icon attached to that folder. Click on that icon and type "command+C" to copy the image. Then, make a new folder ("command + shift + N""), and bring up an information window for that new folder (command+I). You'll see a icon preview image in the upper left corner of that information window, which should be the OSX default folder. Click on that  icon preview image, and type "command+V" to paste in the custom icon.

To enjoy your icons at a larger or smaller size, the icon display size may be customized for any or all Finder windows, including the desktop. Just open a window and type "command+J" to bring up a preference window. Select the "This window only" option, and then play with the slider to set icon size. When you're happy with the results, click the red button on the upper left to close the preference window.

Have fun!
