That is Adium with a custom skin on it, I am not sure which one but I am sure if you looked on DeviantArt you could find it in a matter of seconds.
I am going to need that wallpaper though, that is just straight ballin'.

Here's that cool map wallpaper.
Hope you don't mind, or whoever you got it from, but I modified it a bit. The brownish color wasn't doing it for me.
I really need to change the default icons.

How do you get that ?
Hi,
I saw quite a few desktop pics on this page.... and they have this weather and clouds and sunshine on one corner, music playing in another corner...
How do you get that ? How can I make it happen on my Mac ?
cheers

Finally figured out Candybar. I'm having fun playing around with icons and stuff lol. Desktop -> files -> original. I'm still playing around

my first post here
Been admiring all the wonderful desktops here for months before I got my 1st Mac in October, a 15" 3.06GHz MacBook Pro 5,3! I love it... my Father says that's because, and this is going to date me, it reminds me of the Atari ST. Once he said that it clicked, it does! So yes, I've been a geek for quite a long time (Actually started on an Atari 800 with 64KB of RAM... I know 64 WHOLE KB!).
Anywho, I thought it would be cool to post my December desktop as my first post so here it goes...
I created this custom desktop myself in Photoshop. I know, other than the green color, that it's not very "holiday-ish" but I like it. If you would like a copy of this please send me a PM and I'll email it to you. I did this rather than hosting it myself to kinda get a finger on how "popular" it is so that I can decide to make more or not.
The icon in the middle is a mythosaur skull taken from the right shoulder piece of Boba Fett's armor.
"The traditional Mandalorian crest, frequently mistaken for a Bantha Skull, bears a striking resemblance to the skull of a male mythosaur. But in truth, the symbol was actually adopted in reverence to a legendary Mandalorian combat-training master." (Source: "History of the Mandalorians," Star Wars Insider #80)
Custom application icons were used for Finder, Mail (Star Wars: A New Hope), Safari (Pith Helmet & Machete), iTunes (Headphones), VLC Media Player, Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, World of Warcraft Launcher (Custom icon by me) & Gmail (Pirate Flag). Custom folder and drive icons are from the "ALUMI v2" icon set by Joy-Vincent Niemantsverdriet. All of these were inserted with CandyBar v3.2.2.
GeekTool is of course used for the Date / Time, Hard Drive Information, IP Information & Weather. Date / Time font is FairydustB and the Hard Drive Info, IP Info & Weather font is Lucida Grande.
DateLine is used for the calendar above the Dock.
Bowtie is being used for the iTunes information bar at the top. I'm using The Dark Knight - Reloaded theme by Roberto Urso.

Lucida Grande: I'm pretty sure this is an Apple system font

First of all, Welcome to MacRumors!
There are veteran members of this forum that could take a hint from you on how to post constructively and helpfully. That is a perfect first post.

-Wall is titled The Immolation. Can't find a link at the moment, sorry.
-Mail icon is a poster from Episode IV. Link
-Macintosh HD icon customized to a new iMac. Link
-Zukunft Bowtie theme, customized to up the size for my screen. Link to the original
-Geektool scripts: stock quotes, calendar, and weather. Sadly I realized I created a Vista sidebar.
