puttabong how did you manage to get the transparent bar?
Puttabong
01-05-2008, 02:07 AM
@DoiX:
I don't think that I modified it, you mean the menu bar, right?
I think it's slightly transparent by default.

Mine is Transparent by default too.?
Also, how did Puttabong change his little blue dots that represent what apps are open in the dock to nice big white arrows?
I like that.

Hey jshanh,
I used a very nice application called CandyBar to change it, and this amazing dock made by Max Rudberg:

Hi!, I'm trying to upload mine but forum gives me this msg:
Some problems were encountered
An error occured while creating a new attachment folder. Check your upload path permissions
What's wrong?
Puttabong
01-05-2008, 02:58 AM
@Sergiales: I'm going to fix it very soon, pretty busy at the moment. Just upload to tickload.com until then, for example.
@LeeAMDMAC: That's the Harddrive I installed Leopard to :)

I used the leopaqua set, they're looking like Leopard icons abut are a bit more colorful. To change the default icons use this tool:

You can use LiteIcon instead of CandyBar, it's free (look on macupdate)

CandyBar is indeed one of the must-need Applications for me, though!
It's gorgeous.

Too bad CandyBar is not opensource where it is free to download and protected by GNU.

Right-click on desktop and choose "Show view options". Then this (http://data.fuskbugg.se/skalman01/--------------Picture%201.png) box will appear. Just drag the "Icon size" slider to change the size of your icons. If you want disk information, check "Show info item".

Hey Laxattack here's a link to the dock in my screenshot using the circle indicators.

you need to have candybar to apply the theme.
Good luck :]
