That's pretty cool. I never knew that backlit USB keyboards were made. If Apple made one it would be much better looking though...

here's my june desktop

 

[efoto]

It's at Deviantart You can get it in almost any resolution. Just select wallpaper and then your screen res. Then under submitted on the right side select any time & top favourites. It'll be the first wallpaper. I could link you directly to it if i knew your screen res. I'm only using 1024x768.

Great, that'll work just fine. I am using 1024x768 as well (12"PB) but I usually snag the upper limit and crop down, then I have all the images larger for use on other screens and the like.

Just need to know where it was, thanks a ton!

Who is that. She looks familiar. Can you post a link to the stock exchange site?

I don't think you know her though. ;-) The description of the photographer was like: My 2 sisters rocking at the back as a window was opened at 200kmh on the Autobahn ;-)

Now, the link... Stock Exchange and the picture

I decided to change up my background already since the ol' Arch was a little busy and got annoying, plus I just didn't like it anymore.

I got that from the May Desktops thread by way of another user. Thanks

I changed my desktop and dashboard around. Here are the new screenshots.

Just got back from 5 weeks in Greece and Turkey...here is the iBook's desktop--taken at St. John's Basilica in Ephesus.

Heh

And she prefers Darth Vader? LOL

What's the sunshine icon in your dock?

Actually, Star Wars (A new hope) is her favorite movie. Not only that, she reads comic books too!

The icon is for Brightness Control. My Dell Monitor is brighter than the sun and that allows me to dim it.

Thanks for the link! That's an awesome pic. I've got to try to find someone who will resize it for me. That makes a great desktop.

Why don't you resize it within iPhoto? Works like a charm.

This might be a stupid question, but I have not really seen or noticed this before, so here goes:

Is it Tiger that allows colored items in the menubar of is that feature always available in OSX and I just don't know it? I see you added Apps and home, can you just drag and add them or is this new for Tiger?

It won't let me make it 1280x960 when I try to export it. It always tries to maintain the 3:2 aspect ratio, so when I type in 1280, it sets it at 1280x853. Is there some other way to resize in iPhoto?

Sry to say that's i believe the same old menu hack, this time its in the form of Buttler (home page). So you can't just drag folders into the menu bar. As to the other menu items I moded them to not be the normal colors.

for anyone else.. the first menu items are buttler followed by wclock followed by the regular clock, menu meters, battery, ichat, users, mod spotlight.

A little OT so sorry IA. Do you find that running all of those mod programs adversely effects the performance of the system at all? Speed, stability, etc etc....?

I know XP and OSX are completley different, DO NOT start that war here, but I know running mod apps like StylesXP seem to do as much harm as visual-good to the system.

XP? I am not running XP at all, I have been a mac os x user since before OS X was in beta since well.. sources.. That screenshot is of Tiger 10.4.1. Anyway wClock takes about .2% of my cpu and 2MB of Ram while buttler takes 0-1% depending on use and currently uses 5MB of ram. Not sure about menu meters since i think the application is combined to the windowserver process. Other then that all the hacks are system files, I don't run any other 3rd party hacks.
