    Default Has anyone customized their mac desktop?

    I was on lifehacker.com this evenin and seen this:
    http://lifehacker.com/5252599/the-dharma-desktop

    and then I wondered has anyone in the DJTT community customized their mac with any cool results,like music themes or useful widgets, I ask about mac because I have one but if anyone has customized their PC desktop let me see!

    A big show and tell of peoples desktops would be ace, tips for speeding up production and just overall customization I guess!

    Thanks!

    I would say 4 or 5 hours, even a bit more 'cause to the Miranda skin (I didn't knew how to code for this one... it takes me more time...)
    But you can have something running in seconds...
    It takes me time because I made additional icons, boxes, choosing colors and fonts...

    Magnifique seems to do a reasonable job of customising the OS X UI. I haven't fiddled around with it extensively, currently have a very simple monochrome theme (Veritas Public Beta) which replaces those god-awful coloured window control buttons.

    As for my PC. I use RocketDock with ecqlipse 2 icons. And a custom Vista visual style called Satin.
