Pimp out Mac OSX
Have you ever wanted to customize your Mac OS X desktop beyond what Apple allows through its control panels? There are several ways of customizing your desktop and dockbar beyond the standard look that the Apple System Prefs allow.
1. Download a nifty little program called Candy Bar available at www.panic.com/candybar/
Candy Bar allows you to change icon sets, the look of the dock bar, and application icons. In short, it allows a high level of customization to your desktop. At the time of this post, the app costs $29 dollars to get a registered copy of it. You can also try it before you buy it for 15 days for free.
2. Download a nice desktop background for your Mac you can find nice desktop backgrounds at www.digitalblasphemy.com some desktop backgrounds cost money but many are free.
3. Download a useful utility called Overflow www.stuntsoftware.com/store/
4. Even without Candy Bar to change icons all at once, you can change individual icons within Mac OS X by copying a picture you want to use for an icon into the clipboard using Command-C and then clicking the file, icon, or application whose icon you want to change by highlighting it and then doing a Commnd-I on it. In the Get Info screen, the small icon at the very top of the window can now be replaced by highlighting it by clicking it and doing Command-V
