Hey, Ron, what are you using to customize your themes like that? It looks slick btw.

roncross@cox.net 06-26-2007 11:38 AM

Using ShapeShifter
 
What can I say tlarkin, I'm going APE over these themes. This theme is straight from Royal Inspiriat OSX 1.0. I am downloading these straight from shapeshifter preference pane. :)

Wall paper from interfacelift per your recommendation.

I played around with the demo version but never bought it, maybe I should go buy it, or perhaps Leopard will be more customizable?

roncross@cox.net 06-26-2007 01:21 PM

I wouldn't count on Leopard being more customizable otherwise Steve would have brought it up.

It's a great product, plus my children like the change in theme as well. Besides, I am not upgrading to Leopard anytime soon so this is a good purchase for the family.

well they claim to have over 300 new features, and I bet that with core animation there has to be some things you can customize yourself, or at least third party developers will be able to release something of the like.

roncross@cox.net 06-26-2007 05:22 PM

That maybe true, but Shapeshifter would already be inline to enjoy these benefits as they have been doing customizations for years now. The only customization Steve mentioned was the transparent menu bar which is cool but failed to say anything else about other elements of the OS. Of course only time will tell but there must be a reason why Apple haven't allow customers to customize their computers and have left this to third party developers like shapeshifter.

agnosticgod, thanks for turning us on to osxplanet. There once had been a satellite view of the earth in almost a mercator view, from koshi university which would show the clouds/weather systems rolling across the pacific. I loved that view, and osxplanet is even better, in color, and updating to the desktop.

Thank you.

Starcraft II got old so I called upon another:

Moved the Dock, and added GimmeSometune to assist in getting my album artwork.

Anti, scrolling down, I then saw the 'dark side' reference upon seeing the win task bar. Too funny about the security issues balloon.

I'm not sure I deserve it. My links go the desktop and the menulet of which were started by gaffer74 and myself respectively.

I got impatient. I was cursing at the computer, saying something like "Damned thing! Be gone now!" ;) The reason it's there is because I have UAC and Firewall shut off. (My router handles the firewalling, and UAC just plain sucks.)

I only got Vista on my MBP so that if someone tries to throw something at me that my Mac cannot handle, I can just fire up Vista and sneer in their face that my Mac can do Windows.

That, and games.

It was quite amusing to see the windows desktop and that security issues balloon. So apropos...

Okay, I am a HUGE Fallout Fan and can't wait for Fallout 3 to come out. So, I got some new wallpapers. Check out my new Pip Boy 3000, the iphone ain't got nothing on it.
