    I love your desktop. Do you mind sharing where you got your icons/dock/theme from? :)

    Here's mine. I noticed that when I took a screenshot of my desktop my mac didn't response for like 1 minute, is that normal while taking screenshots? I did CMD+SHFT+3

    Can someone tell me what that application in the bottom left displaying the CD album art is? It reminds me of CD Art Display for Windows.

    apple+shift+3 to take a screenshot, it will show up on the desktop once its taken.

    To change the colour of the menu bar, thats kinda a trick fix. In system preferences>desktop&screensaver in desktop section, check the 'translucent menu bar'. This will make it transparent, and the colour will be what the desktop is behind it.

    An alternative, that makes more sense, and you can pick any colour is LeoColorBar, i think you can pick any colour with that.

    You need a program called candybar to do it. If you get it I can give you directions on how to put it.

    Haha, I'd love to be on Leopard, there's no reason why I'm trying not to go with it, its just I'm usually broke and an extra $129 to spend isn't beneficial to me; if I could just go out and get it I would!

    At this point, considering its around Leopard's mid-life cycle, I'm just waiting for Snow Leopard!

    shboyles, I got it from InterfaceLIFT!

    That just hides it, it'll still pop up if I go near it.

    I don't use it, therefore it's useless. I use spaces and keyboard shortcuts to navigate.

    the dock is actually part of Finder to some extent, not to mention that just doesn't make any sense as it doesn't get in the way of anything, not to mention the need for a trash can.
