I just want to know where the menu bar icon .png files are so that I can customize them a little with photoshop.

Also, has anyone else done this and are there any special steps I need to take?

Thanks

You can find them in System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras. Right click & show package contents for the menu item you want to change, and go to /Contents/Resources. Should be there.

The battery also shows the amount of charge left in blue instead of black now as well.
The Adium icon (http://www.adiumxtras.com/index.php?a=xtras&xtra_id=4473) changes with my status. I needs the new beta release (http://adiumx.com/beta/) to work.
The date and clock is controlled by MenuCalendarClock (http://www.objectpark.net/mcc.html)

Wow...old thread. This was with Tiger. I haven't changed anything with Leopard. I would suggest heading over to the forums at MacThemes (http://macthemes2.net/) and searching.
