May I ask how did you get that iTunes thing with the cover? Also the day/month/time? Thanks!

I used Bowtie for the iTunes info but I went and found a different theme (clicked find new themes or download themes in bowtie itself). This specific theme was called 'Next' by Christie Vallesky. With bowtie open I doubled clicked the theme from the downloads and bowtie picked it up. I placed it where I wanted it and it was as easy as that.

Regarding the date & time I followed the steps listed in the geektool thread which is very clear and easy to understand.

Time font is Skia
Month font is Helvetica Neue - Bold Italic
Day/AM-PM font is Imprint MT Shadow
Numerical Date is Helvetica Neue as well but light italic

Set the colors/font size/placement accordingly and it was all good!

I don't have the original, but you can Google the image and just fit it to your screen. :)
 
Oh well this is what I managed to do today..not much yet and a bit dark.

Saw Tron: Legacy and was inspired a bit. Did a quick search and this popped-up. Simple, but cool.

Just curious but where how did you change your dock to that style? I have been trying to look for it on the Internet, but I have come up with nothing. Thanks!

will show you all you need to know. :)

I use Mirage to remove the dock background files w/ no reflection, then Gookteel to add the white/black bar. The icons you can change using CandyBar (pricy and not recommended) or LiteIcon (free). Changing most icons is very simple, and explained in that thread.

Hope it helps!

All you need to get started is the programs 'Candybar' and 'Geektool'. This should be the correct icons to replace: [url]http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=text+dock#/d2jyr7w

By the way, theres a tutorial that shows you exactly how to do so on here. I'm just having trouble finding it!

I use an icon set I made myself, actually, but the process is the same for whatever style you're going for in icons.
