I have just two icons on my desktop, like this.

That's all very nice, but I'd rather there was no text under them and that they looked like this.

I'm sure you'll agree that it looks much prettier, but of course it's a mockup.

Can I do this for real?

 
That's not really practical either - They still need to show the names in the sidebar.
 
Oh that's so close!

When it's highlighted or selected it shows like this:

and I can only have one like that? Obviously I can't have two files called the same " .command"
 
I honestly can't remember but I've put them (and the rest of the matching hard drive collection) into a Candybar set you can grab from here.
 
I've found another bit of an oops when using that method...

It pops open a terminal window as well!

/edit - Which I can force close through terminal prefs, but it still drops into the dock afterwards.

We're getting there though.
 
The Terminal window flashing has already annoyed me!

Time to try and find a different way to do it, I really like the way it looks.
