Yeah, I love this dock. The indicators are so "bulky".
My desktop is rather clean, but I'm a fan of fancy Icons. But I have to recreate most of them 'cause leopard needs 512x512.

[cite] roisoft:My new Desktop ->
Ey, i like you background, really nice. Just curious, why some of the taskbar is transparent and some are not?
like this:
compare to this:
Here the background...
do you have hardware acelerated graphics?
roisoft: try pressing ctrl+windows+alt+8... (if you have QE/CI)
lol
[cite] DoiX:-> >> <<<< heres mine
who uploaded my image on a different site?
a little off-topic- how many "hackintosh" have done for your friends, family?
roisoft: Waddaya mean? How many hackintoshes we've prepared for others? In my case, I convinced four people to an Hackintosh, with full success, Windows is history. One of my friends still refuses, but only cause I always hack on his Aldi Pentium 4 But it seems that he will try a switch, too.
In my case 12, and tomorrow i´m going to build 4 more , it´s like a virus lol
[cite] roisoft:Here the background... do you have hardware acelerated graphics?
THanks for the background! Im using GeForce 7600GS. And I believe it has accelerated graphics. I just dont know how to install it right?
you have a link where i can enable the transparency? I knoe i have QE/CI coz i tried the this:try pressing ctrl+windows+alt+8. And it works.
I'm sorry, i know this is not a discussion thread, its just im really jealous with that transparency
Here's mine! First time installing OSX on this PC
Huh? High quality pictures? That one was 1280x1024. Pretty high. There is a link at the bottom that says view original image.
Oh well. Here's the link to original image.

The "Leopard" icon is the default internal drive icon from "Float" that comes with Candybar. I haxed on the apple with Photoshop. Png file is

And the TimeMachine backup drive is the FileVault image.

How do I change the dock colour?
Worked it out
How do you add a Startup disk info in the About this Mac graphics?

About this mac, stolen from roisoft ;))
Wallpaper, don't remember were i got it ...oh yeah can someone explain me how come cover flow in files works but in itunes not, i know itunes needs qe/ci..but why?
Can somebody please copy and paste the startup disk strings so I can add that to about my mac? Thank you.
[cite] WinLinMac01:Can somebody please copy and paste the startup disk strings so I can add that to about my mac? Thank you.
That part IS NOT in "AboutThisMac.strings". I've looked (in all the .strings files there...) I don't know where it gets that info from...
Thank for at least searching. Looks like I will have to do some thorough searching through the system. I tried manually adding a string myself, but was ineffective.

I've translated the HUD mod with Interface Builder but cannot seem to edit the window name.
How can I change this? it should read "Over Deze Mac"
