Sorry, I didn't see your reply earlier- thanks! Wish Apple would make this easier. I can't stand the Dashboard wallpaper, thought, so that would be the first to go if I can figure it out.
you can, in sys prefs, make the dashboard show over your current screen, instead of having a space all to itself (which, to me anyway, completely misses the point...)
Nah, like I said earlier, I like it as its own space- just can't stand the LEGO effect
Here's mine- I'm a minimalist, so no active app dots in the dock and only the bare essentials visible. The dock houses my most-used apps.
I know for most FaceTime is a peripheral app, but for me it's essential because I use it to speak in the house with my family (because we have no intercom) so that we don't have to yell to each other while in different rooms.
I have everything set through multi-touch gestures. I eliminated the file icons by the Trash because I can use the finder for downloads and documents. It was important for me to eliminate the App folder in the dock because I want to access my apps through Launchpad only (and through the Launchpad gesture only), or else there would be no point to it. I also like Launchpad's display of the apps better than the App folder's.
As far as the wallpaper- boring, I know, but I've come to like the royal blues in contrast with my Air's aluminum bezel. I'll switch it up soon, but quite like the Lion look for now. I also have my dock on autohide with magnification.
(And, I know, I have to charge my battery!)

Stupid question...but how do you remove your name from the upper right menu bar. I see some screenshots with it removed.
I swear, my name wasn't there in SL, and I can't find the option to remove it in any of the settings. Just seems to clutter the menu bar, especially since I'm the only user account on my machine.
EDIT:
Bah! Just found it. Geez...I swear I feel like a Mac newbie, even though it's been 15+ years. At least I have the entire weekend to familiarize myself.

Seriously?
How about just walking into the next room and talking to the other person....unless you live in a mansion that spans acres and it would just take too long...if thats the case tho....quit complaining, your life is amazing....hell the fact that your complaining about FaceTime as a substitute for a much needed intercom means your life is amazing!

dude, just update Logic to the current version (9.1.4);
it's free, it should show up in Software Update.
it's not apple's fault (or Lion for that matter) if there's a required update and you don't install it...
