most people fiddle with their desktops with the following programs,

Candybar for icons
Magnifique for skins
Geektools for custom things

theres a general guide for tweaking your desktop Here

I can't decide what color looks best with the rest of my theme. If you didn't see my theme it's this post. Let me know your opinion, which one?

Edit: Thanks for voting!

Just so you're aware, that's likely slowing down your computer significantly. Your computer will run much better if you move those items off your desktop.

Uhh.. .Can you explain this to me? The desktop is just another directory on the computer storing files it is no different than putting all of those files in the "documents" folder, or where ever else.

I think that files' previews are always updated if they're on the desktop, while folders are loaded only when you open them
Anyway I doubt that all these files may slow down a modern mac.

...3rd one from the top...

Haha, I had just narrowed it down to those two.

The more files you have on your desktop, the more RAM is used up by the Finder.

Would someone do me a huge favor and help me find the iChat MenuExtra Icon(s)? I don't think it's in CoreServices/Menu Extras because I changed/deleted it and nothing changed. Any help is appreciated.

just enable the menu in iChat's preferences. this is why i love iChat as you can go online and receive messages from the menu bar. unfortunately hardly any of my friends use AIM, Mobile Me or GTalk.
