Customizing Menubar

[icedd]

Hello, I have seen many nicely designed desktops and most of them have customized menubars, from the different menu icons (like gmail notifier, bowtie, etc) to even the fonts and different apple icons.

I have tried to use Magnifique but, that seems to only change some of it.

My question is, how would I be able to change the fonts and the icons on the menubar? What would I need?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Some applications add an item to the menu bar, i.e. temperature monitor or vuze. To change the font or apple symbol, you'll have to mess with system files.
