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!

    • VidCoder 12.20

      By Copernic · Posted

      VidCoder 12.20 by Razvan Serea  VidCoder is a DVD/Blu-ray ripping and video transcoding application for Windows. It uses HandBrake as its encoding engine. Calling directly into the HandBrake library gives it a more rich UI than the official HandBrake Windows GUI. VidCoder can rip DVDs but does not defeat the CSS encryption found in most commercial DVDs. You’ll need the NET 8 Desktop Runtime. If you don’t have it, VidCoder will prompt you to download and install it. The Portable version is self-contained and does not require any .NET Runtime to be installed. You do not need to install HandBrake for VidCoder to work. Feature list: Multi-threaded MP4, MKV containers Completely integrated encoding pipeline: everything is in one process and no huge intermediate temporary files H.264, H.265, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, VP8, Theora video Hardware-accelerated encoding with AMD VCE, Nvidia NVENC and Intel QuickSync AAC, MP3, Vorbis, AC3, FLAC audio encoding and AAC/AC3/MP3/DTS/DTS-HD passthrough Target bitrate, size or quality for video 2-pass encoding Decomb, detelecine, deinterlace, rotate, reflect, chroma smooth, colorspace filters Powerful batch encoding with simultaneous encodes Customizable Pickers to automatically pick audio and subtitle tracks, destination, titles and more Instant source previews Creates small encoded preview clips Pause, resume encoding VidCoder 12.20 changes: Updated HandBrake core to 1.11.2. Download: VidCoder 12.20 | 47.0 MB (Open Source) Download: Portable VidCoder 12.19 | 89.3 MB Link: VidCoder Home Page | Github | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary to compete against AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update bug that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.
