Heh. This is my submission. Not sure why we do this, really - it's sorta like a circle jerk. But I've been known to send an odd screencap or two to a Windows lover... :p

Anyway. Nothing special, just a couple of haxies and some tech stuff. Enjoy!

here´s mine... my dock pops out on the left. I got DSL some days ago, so my Desktop is quite a mess with all the downloads.

What do you mean by desktop items? Do you mean the desktop picture? To change the picture all you have to do is go to the desktop control panel in system prefs and select a new picture or a new folder with new pics in it.

Im sorry, meant the icons (i.e. the picture of the hard drive taht symbolizes the hard drive on the desktop). I want to know how to change taht icon to look differently. Also, folders and such.

This is an easy one all you have to do is select the folder, app, or document you want to change the icon on and either type command-I or go to file in the menu bar and get info. Once you have the get info window up for the icon you want to change or the icon you want to copy. Just select the icon in the info window by clicking on it and then copy it or paste in the new one.

I hope you that helps.

Please repost this image without the menu bar or dock. I would really like to use this for a desktop background.

That's exactly what I did. Cheap huh?

Anywayz, I think I fixed it, although I never really saw it in the first place.

Bah. Either the rest of you have great eyes or I just have a badly calibrated monitor, but I still don't see it.

Here's a revised version again. If it didn't work this time maybe somebody with Photoshop can fix it.

Now you're really going to hate me. You fixed the black area but you're getting a lot of artifacts around all the text now. Just being picky. :p

Also maybe you have you're monitor set too dark or the contrast is too low. The black was very obvious against the grey. Try recalibrating your monitor use the monitor control panel and just do what it tells you to.
