Could you PM me what you did to change the fonts? I checked out Wowzera's guide but Wowzera had taken down a certain file, and that was ages ago I checked.

Thanks,

i'll just post it here so if anyone else wants to do the same.

i just found a font that a member (Trimegistro) on mac themes ported. the name of the font is Candela. The post can be found HERE

after you download it you will need to make a copy of it (**make sure the name is the same, aka not LucindaGrande-copy**). Then use one to replace the LucidaGrande.ttc file under /system/library/fonts make sure you totally delete this one before adding it first.

and the other to just replace the LucidaGrande.ttc file in /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/
Versions/A/Frameworks/ATS.framework/Versions/A/Resources/
ProtectedFonts/LucidaGrande.ttc


**BACK UP YOUR FILES**

empty your trash, log out, and log back in and everything should look nice and new.

if you find any other font you want to use you need FontLabStudio to change the font to a .tts file.

good luck

Excellent post, ★★★★★. Finally I can have Apple Garamond EVERYWHERE. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! One thing, though. FontLab Studio is $650!! Anybody got a suggestion for another app that can do the same thing?

If you go to that thread on macthemes (that is a link to the last page, it's still pretty active so you may get lucky) and tell someone that you want that font someone may port it for you. im also thinking of buy FontLabStudio, so if i do i will port it for you in the next week or so.

That looks just awesome! I'd like to have this black theme. How have you done it? Candybar?

if you want to make your menubar black like that use this link. it's the link that i used. there are a lot of warnings and what not but it worked fine for me. just make sure you back up your files.

there are also a lot of different vids on the side of that page.

as for the dock read THIS post that i made a couple days ago.
 
Here is a link to the wallpaper :)

I like my desktop like I like my desk top - clean. I use Quicksilver and Spotlight religiously. Hotkeys are beautiful.

Menubar Applications:
- Quicksilver for application launching
- Dropbox for file project sharing
- iMOnTime for assignment and project reminders
- Caffeine to keep my screen awake
- Shion for controlling the lights in my room
- Facebook Notifications for...Facebook...notifications
- Screensharing Monitor (turned on temporarily, forgot to turn off)

You were invited to Rockmelt?

Just changed it up. This is just a portion of an image, I just set it and let it center on the screen (cutting off the top and bottom), and it happened to land at a fairly nice spot. I have no idea what song either, I didn't care. I was actually looking for backgrounds for slides I was working on, and decided to repurpose this one.
