I'm wondering if you can tell me where to get the icons in your dock. I really like them all :)

Most of them I have found on macthemes2.net or from Jonas Rask. The folders are from the Aquave Project. The finder icon is from a application called Process.

Hmm, could it be the font size on your menu bar? I've downloaded your screenshot and full-screened it through Quick Look. Moving my mouse to the top of the screen overlays my menu bar over the picture, and your menu bar is clearly smaller than mine. Something I've noticed is that the text in your menu bar is smaller?

Is this just an error of the picture?

Odd, I don't know. This is a fresh install of Leopard (Thanks to the POS software called Parallels). The only thing I really changed was the color settings in which I use the TV gamma instead of the default settings which appear washed out to me.

bump??
Sorry I suck at returning PMs - I uploaded it here for you. I think that is the one you requested.

My menu bar is the same size - nothing changed about it that I know of.

My dock is a little larger than what Apple sets it to (standard) size. As far as decrease in the work area it isn't that much of a difference on m 17" MBP. Plus the icons are sexy and I hate not being able to see the details of them on the smaller dock.

Wallpaper can be found here

The dock is actually called PDock (you can find it on deviantart) I then took the separators from my Niqu Maxified Dock and put them with it.

Hope that helps :D

and quite a nice job you did, farewell, nice job indeed. :)

:o New dock? Link?

And regarding that trash icon, maybe it's just me, but the two vertical white lines.. one of them is always black and one is always white. They alternate as I change the size of the dock and it takes a specific dock size to make them both white at the same time. Does that happen to you too?

Is that Adium or iChat? If it's Adium, is that dock icon iBubble 3? Yours seems to be shaded nicer and looks better than what I'm using

And regarding Quillz, he has officially switched to Windows Vista :(

Not quite... I did on my MacBook, but I was having more difficulty on my iMac due to my three external all being formatted as HFS Plus. So I actually deleted the partition on my iMac and am running OS X exclusively. But Vista gives me better battery life on my MacBook.

      Well I've done a grand total of nothing, and it now clocks between 2010mhz and 1995mhz (stock is 1710mhz) and hovers around 80c, warmer than it used to, but tolerable clocks seem to have returned. Thanks for all the advice on this thread. Will review the evidence and make a choice.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
