Do you have it set up so it completely replaces the dock?

Thats how I use it, found my productivity increasing quite a bit with it. If you google for disabling the dock, you will get a lot of methods on how to, but if you really dont want to screw it up, just hide it to wherever you dont ever take your mouse to :) , in my case, the left corner of the screen.

I have around 50 items in DragThing when compared to a measly 10 or 15 max in the apple dock! And i get a lot more screen space now!

Can someone point me in the right direction for themeing Leopard.

Sure Mr. Mialo :)

First steps - Candybar and Magnifique - Candybar is pay though, but definitely the best application for icon replacements.

Magnifique can be obtained from the macthemes forum - its more like a theme packager for the mac, not too many themes are available for it as of now, but some of them are quite nice - the one in my screen is called mistikons - dark menubar version.

Apart from that DragThing for the dock - also pay - this is not required from a theming angle, more from a productivity angle

Superdocker/Candybar for the customizing the dock - I guess that should start you off, Geektool for a little more customizations, like embedding desktop text, but requires some bit of work

Deeper from the same ppl who make onyx also lets you customize a fair bit like login screens etc, on the whole, macthemes should cover most of your questions somewhere! Cheers

That's a great idea. I think I'll give it a try. (Y)

    • RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought are free on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers can now jump in and grab two more games to keep this week, as the Epic Games Store's ever-present giveaway promotion has just gone through another refresh. Replacing last week's Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat offers, the store has brought in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought to keep. From the duo, Roller Coaster Tycoon 3: Complete Edition is an enhanced version of the classic title that was originally released in 2004. It comes with enhancements such as widescreen and 1080p resolution support, as well as increased compatibility with modern PC hardware. It also comes bundled with all the extra content from the Soaked! and Wild! expansion packs. "Control park finances, shops, services and staff to succeed in dozens of scenarios," reads the description. "Become a true tycoon and embark on your promising new career, or create your ideal park without money woes in sandbox mode. Satisfy your guests’ needs and keep your park running smoothly to succeed." If management is not your style, Voidwrought lands as a 2D action-platformer featuring hand-drawn cosmic horrors. The title touts tight platforming and close‑quarters combat, all brought together with a strong emphasis on mobility. "Descend below the star-scorched surface and explore the multidimensional depths below," says the studio Powersnake about the game. "Witness the corrupted revelry of the Court, lose yourself in the icy tunnels of the Old Waters, and discover the grim fate of the Abandoned Expedition." The RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition and Voidwrought giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take their place on the same day as always. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
