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.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
