thought i would have 5mins on mac rumors before heading to bed,realised it was 1st June and thought i would post my desktop. My little dog. quality is better normally.just to keep to mac rumors limits.
Dock is usually hidden with magnification turned off. I use adium and quicksilver and growl, but don't have them in the menubar (no point in having them, in my opinion). I also turn off desktop icons (harddrive, mounted drives, cds, etc.)
