I remember getting that one from www.xanthic.net but the page doesn't load for me anymore. You can get one of his desktops from this link here though. Just search for "xanthic".

EDIT : I still have a couple of the Xanthic eye desktops on my comp. including the one featured in that screenshot. If anyone wants me to make a .sit of them I'll put them on my iDisk.

Me too. I tried to cut myself from blue and try other colors but it's still impossible.

Are you using PTH Clock? Because I'm using that but can't seem to set the date and time like yours.

Whoever posted the link to Customize.org I must thank you. I use XP as my main machine at work and I've been looking for a way to theme it more. Finally I can make it look more Aqua like. (I've yet to keep a theme on OSX as I *love* the original appearance)

I have one question though. Everyone always shows themes with few real world applications. Why is that? Do they typically look bad? The little theming I've done on XP looks great until you do something like open Outlook. Then it is clash city!

Regarding KDE. I've actually themed KDE a lot more than XP or OSX. I run it in the background under OSX. I'm actually very impressed with the latest version. I even found some UI features I'd like rolled into OSX. However when you theme it right, it looks just like OSX. While running non-KDE X11 apps involves a lack of consistency, there are plenty of KDE apps. I'm upgrading my Linux box at work to work with KDE tomorrow just because of switching to it from Gnome here at home.

That would be the Eject.menu included with Jaguar. Not sure how to apply it from preferences, but if you go into System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras and open the Eject.menu it will show up.
