Custom Desktop Folders

[Ray]

I see.  So there are three different states of this check box: empty, 
checked and "squared".  That's a new thing for me.  I always thought 
there were just two states of both check boxes and radio buttons, but I 
think I can handle that.  Thanks for laying it out.

On another note, I've discovered that while the desktop icon I assign to 
a folder is there when I first create the folder and set it all up, it 
shrinks the instant I write or copy a file into the folder, either 
through Livecode or manually on the desktop.  Do you know why this might 
be happening?

I only see the icon I assign when viewing by medium and large icons.  
Could this have something to do with it?
