Kikuchiyo, I'll be needing that wallpaper right now kthxbye

And Warcuied, you are supposed to put that AveTunes desklet off the screen a bit so it looks like it's coming from the edge of the screen.

EDIT - Screeny before I go for school

^^Scaled down stupidly

It looks better the way it is; almost original looking dare I say.

Each to their own, I think it looks out of place but ok.

I posted recently but I like my new wallpaper (and the thread is getting very PC-y againÂ

 ), so I'm putting a couple of new shots up.

I really dislike Leopard's transparent menu bar on lighter backgrounds. It looked OK on my space wall, but here it looks flakey. The new icon size is crisp though, I'm loving it - it's hard to tell how crisp the dictionary icon is in the shot (btw, dictionary.app has become the greatest thing ever in Leopard, with full Japanese, Japanese/English, and Japanese/synonyms dictionaries).

That's cool dude

Does anyone know a way to set a delay on RKlauncher from popping up?
I use Rocketdock because I can keep it in the background and after a delay I specify, it'll pop up if I have my mouse on the area where the dock is.
I can't seem to find such a setting in RKlauncher which makes it seem like such a waste because everyone is recommending it.

Also.. there are some settings which I can't seem to access...
Some of them I can't be too bothered about but others like "start up with windows" can't be selected..
Does anyone know whats up with that?

Lastly, I totally agree with flai. This thread should be made a sticky

Well, I recently installed OSx86 Leopard on my new PC. Unfortunately, none of the 4 network adapters (WiFi/NIC) that I own are compatible with OSX. So for now I'm just stuck with Windows until the Forcedeth drivers are updated. (Everything else worked great btw, even my GeForce 8800 GTS) You'd be surprised at how useless a computer can be without internet though.

Thanks for the nice comments, guys. I'm sorry you don't like it Flai :\ I really do think it looks good though. I'll try your suggestion for AveTunes, but I don't really get how you want me to put it.

Thanks for the icon links too!

Quite possibly because s/he lives in Japan?

More on topic, it just seems like one of the more bloated of the generic OSX desktops we've been seeing. Nice wallpaper though.

Don't get the wrong idea, I do like it, I just think it would look like it is supposed to if you move it to a position like this -

See how it is off the screen a little, I think you should put in like that

And Urza, perhaps that is how he likes it? With no windows or anything it's just two big icons and a Coversutra Jewel Case, not really bloated, I think the messyness of the bottom screenshot was just to show what he uses.

Which is relevant to my opinion how? You may like generic Mac desktops, but that doesn't change my opinion that they're bland and unoriginal.

Whoa Twi, WB killed your compy? I'm kinda scared now o__o I use WindowBlinds, and I love my computer to much to risk it like that.

Well, here's my desktop... I finally decided to stop being so lazy and start getting some album art for my songs, even though I have so many different songs that it will take at least a few hours to get 'em all. Either way, here it is:

I kinda like that AveTunes skin. I'll keep looking, but I may just stick with that one. And I do have Rainlendar, but I put it in ninja mode. :3

I'm getting kinda bored with my icons. I searched in DA but to no avail. Anyone know where to get some really nice icon sets?

Instead of looking for the album art for all of your songs, try MediaMonkey. All you do is scan the location where the songs are and once it is done sorting all of the music by artist and what not, you highlight each album you are looking for art for and hit autotag from the web. It automatically renames all of the songs for you and imbeds the album art into the song tag so you'll always have it no matter where you move the music to.

On Topic: One of the best I've seen here so far.

Because I live in Japan (rural Aomori, no less) and speak Japanese? Because I write a lot of Japanese documents for work and for the English classes I teach? Because I run Japanese software? Because I work in an office where all the machines use Japanese Windows XP (my Toshiba included) and so it's good for me to know Japanese computer terminology? Because I use the Japanese web more than English web sites?

Thanks for playing though, I'm sure we have a lovely parting gift for you.



As for the second shot I just wanted to show off some apps and pictures of my students.

I think the wallpaper is a little busy, but three icons is good - minimalism is better than having a lot of garbage everywhere (see my work laptop or the Windows install on this Mac for proof).

And that's the thing. When I used Windows exclusively I went to a hell of a lot of trouble to skin it, to change the icons, to make it look different. Since switching I've barely done anything - I've changed some system icons and when I used Tiger I used the Uno window decoration modification, and that's it (and I desaturated the mixi client icon on my menubar so it's not hideously gold but grey). OS X Isn't nearly as hideous as vanilla XP or Vista, so there's far less impetus for me to theme it or install crap like Shapeshifter or Windowblinds.

You say it's bland, but I say I like this elegance better than hacking system DLLS in Windows XP so it doesn't look like I'm living in 1998.
