Mac OS Desktops will now be split into 4 threads over the course of a year to reduce clutter.

1Q - January through March.
2Q - April through June.
3Q - July through September.
4Q - October through December.

Posting Guidelines:
  • If you plan to img-embed your desktop, please try to keep it at/under 1024x768 and under 100k (It's recommended that you link it, externally).
  • Stay within the board rules, no matter how yummy you may believe it to be.
  • If you are going to quote, there isn't a need to quote an img-embeded picture - Just don't do it. Please just reference the post by page number/page link/etc.
  • Off Topic Posts will be edited or removed.
  • The desktops thread is not to be used as a means to post images of a pornographic or otherwise provocative nature. We do not support a babes forum and neither will we in an unofficial capacity. Please help to keep the thread relevant and safe to browse for everyone.
  • The moderators of this forum reserve the right to edit or remove your posts as necessary so they may comply with our Community Ruleset.
In the interests of keeping the thread on topic it is strongly urged that you format your posts in the following order:
  • Wallpaper: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
  • Icons: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
  • Programs: Name/where you got it (with link would be nice).
Remember, any slight deviation of posts in this thread not regarding desktops will be removed on sight - this thread is for Mac Desktops only.

I have a bad habit of dragging URL's to my dock - hence...

For me, it's the only way for me to be proactive in checking them out later; I know at some point the springs will annoy me to the point I need to tidy...

The clock i am using is the one in istatmenu and use my guide here to find the spotlight icon along with everything else. With istat menu just add the clock and change the text settings to white.

I am desperately trying to achieve critical mass in that department smile.gif

Funny thing is, I know I can use Spotlight and other methods to find / run common applications, but i seem to be tethered to this method. I guess deep down, I love to show off the fact that I have so many apps.

Green Circle on the top left corner of itunes.

I think if you hit the green button in the top left it goes into the mini player view. Or you could try Control + M

nvm, Snakehn beat me to it tongue.gif

close enough.. wink.gif

I only have a mac at work, and I only open iTunes when I need to tell the customer to do something in iTunes OS X.


EDIT: I DID say you could TRY Ctrl + M... never said it would work as expected tongue.gif lmao.

Very cute color coordination on the dock.
