ClearDock from unsanity is what I'm using to get the effect and I've applied a slight blue colouring to the dock background.

Thanks. Had that and didn't know you could alter it.

What program are you guys using to change the drive icons in 9A559 ? I tried copy and pasting .icns and .jpg and the they are not showing up. I have a feeling there is some setting I am missing.

Hmm... Copying and pasting .icns files should work in Leopard, and that's how it's been done on Mac OS since the very first system software. Unfortunately, apps like Pixadex and CandyBar haven't been updated to work with Leopard yet.

Thanks. There was something wrong with the icon files I was trying to paste. I had to resave them as icon files. Very strange.

Sorry for the noob question, but how do you customize Adium to display contacts like that? That's dead sexy.

oh and also, how is iTunes integrated into the desktop (look at some pics back). Thanks all!

It's all good dude. Just download the stuff below and install. After installing it should bring you to the Appearance preference pane where you can apply the enhancements.

Service Icons - pss-2

Status Icons - iBubbles Status Icons

Color Theme - simpledesktop

List Layout - Minimal

Window Style - Borderless Window

Opacity: 5%

Good luck!

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Samsung is shutting down yet another app used by millions

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • what other retro software do yall use

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
