How did you make your menu bar and dock black?
I'd love to have a darker OS X theme for nighttime programming, but I've got no idea how to do that.
 
How did you make your menu bar and dock black?

For the dock you can use CandyBar, but the menubar is a little more tricky. Download ThemePark and edit the SArtFile.bin, and find the menubar image (if you need the specific image let me know). Then change that to something you want (black), and then your menubar is black. However, your menubar items won't change to white, you have to do that yourself, or create a menubar image that is half black on left, and half white on right.

Like I said, I really don't know how to do much else, so if anyone could help me, that would be awesome.

So it's basically just the menubar that has another colour, right?
I'd like to change the complete OS X theme to black, including all finder windows and so on, but I reckon that such modifications are not possible, are they?
 
Picture is from InterfaceLIFT...I don't have the link though.

*Create menu items for iChat (help!)
