Mac OS Desktops - 1st Q 2009


Recommended Posts

It has indeed, I've missed your desktops :p

Can you link me your dock, mail and bin icons?

Glad to see you around!

Dock: Personal mod of Niqu Dock/New Dock with a custom made separator

Mail Icon: Its from the Mail.app resources, I am to lazy to dig for it but will include it in the link below

Bin Icon: I have no idea where it is from but you can download them from here:

Icons

Hope an icontainer is ok

I've not got a Mac yet, however, I was just wondering how people are getting which song they are currently playing on their desktop?

I know Dashboard doesn't let you place gadgets directly on the desktop constantly all the time, right?

So I'd like to know how you've all made it possible. It looks nice :)

Bowtie (free) and CoverSutra (?15) are two of the most popular options.

Developer Mode lets you do that. ;)

they are always on top then, though, iirc, which made me personally not use widgets on my desktop... ;)

True, but if you have a big enough screen or multiple screens it shouldn't be a problem. I use a package tracking widget, and I put it on my far right display.

but you, sir, have 2 20" and one 30" cinema displays plus the 15" screen of your macbook so i would consider you an exeption. :p

How do you guys like Bowtie? I'm thinking about giving it a shot. What exactly does it do? :)

Bowtie is very nice - much like coversutra in the sense that it sets on your desktop and shows all the info for that song. I like it for the customization that is out there - there are tons of skins already for it. Give it a shot

This is true. :laugh: I wish Apple would make a way so that they don't always have to be on top. Maybe make them act like regular application windows?

...or do it like microsoft did, simply make it addable to your regular desktop... would be nice for sticky notes or something which would be the only thing id use outside of dashboard.

but maybe they add it with snow leopard and we dont know about that yet. =)

I hope they have it in Snow Leopard. That would be a pretty cool feature. :yes:

I have a half-assed theme going on. I've had a quick look for icons that go with it but I've only found the odd ones.

Can anyone help suggest dock icons that'd accompany the colour scheme? :o

And best of all, it's free! :D
