Hey guys, great looking desktops.

I just recently, got my powerbook and new to osx, so i'm new to customizing.

I just got a few questions, how did you get the drop shadow underneath the snyergy buttons.?

Also, is there anyway i can move around my icons in the system tray area.? (if that's what you call it).

and last one, How do i get it my drive on my desktop to display how much gigs i have left and in use.?

i tried right click and get info, but all it does is pop up a window, show the information on my drive..

Thanks guys for any help given, i'll post a screenshot pretty soon once i get my osx looking the way i want it too.

Press Command and drag it anywhere you want it. Drag it off to delete it.

View> Show View Options, then pick "Show Item Info", if you want the text on the right side, click "Right" under Label Position.

Could you post the texture ?

in any theme with metal to remove the brushed effect you will need

a) Themepark

b) Photoshop

in themepark if you want to edit the currently set theme go to File > New Theme or open a premade theme by open.

then go to Elements > Global Elements > Metal Window > Metal Window Texture

drag out the image onto your desktop, then open the TIFF in photoshop, or some other editor.

delelete the brushed part but leave the black color, make sure its a transparent bg. save the tiff and then drag & drop into themepark save the theme and then apply with ShapeShifter

[Edit]

To remove the brushed effect in iTunes youll need Themepark & Photoshop again.

go to File > Open Special > iTunes.rsrc

then PICT > 1024 (i think. someone correct me if wrong)

drag image to desktop, open in photoshop or another editor, delete brushed effect, save image & drag back into themepark. save resource.

in finder go to iTunes and control click then Show Package Contents.

go to Contents/Resources

drag iTunes.rsrc to a safe place incase you want brushed back. drag your modifed iTunes.rsrc into the Resources folder and launch iTunes... smoooth...

whats with the :: in front of every line? :blink:

Thanks guys for all the help, i'm still trying to figure out how to get that shadow underneath the synergy buttons.

You want it or you want to get rid of it?

If you want them, install Windowshade X from Unsanity.

If you don't want them, turn off the haxie.

Thanks for the program, but i never said i wanted to get rid of it.. :ninja:

Well I downloaded the program, it gave shadows to everything else, except the synergy buttons

sorry if i'm being a bother about this, i tried goofing around with every setting and i still couldn't get it.

    • AMAZON needs to take total accountability for this.
    • Server Summit had a heap of announcements, ADCS changes are baller.
    • Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

    • It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
