I made it in C4D, so you'd have to tell me what resolution you want so I can render one out for ya. I plan on putting desktops on my web site when I get it redesigned and back up (server change), but let me know what res. and I'll render it for ya.

rblanchette,
What mountain range is that? I used to live in the foothills of South Mountain in Phoenix.

rblanchette · Dec 18, 2003, 04:31 PM

What haxie is that in a lot of your menu bars? The one in the upper right that has your name, or user name displayed?

It's not a haxie, it comes with Panther.

It's the Fast User Switching item, and shows up when you have Fast User Switching enabled.

Ummmmm... so why are people posting in this thread? We have another one in the GUI customization section that is much longer. This is an old thread I believe. One needs to die.

Sorry you guys completely missed my "Desktop Girls" phase.

Well, it was a custom made Widget that I can't provide because it relies on something only my computer had and a customized .pl file on my web site. But it was all proprietary and won't work for anyone else, and doesn't even work for me anymore since I upgraded AWStats.

That thread is for people who've themed their systems or otherwise hacked and modified them, not for those of us with more modest ambitions.

Do you use the dock as an app switcher or do use the command-tab function ? How long does it take you to find the icon you are looking for ?

I keep most of the apps that I use "once in a while" in my dock, so yes, it's a bit big. In the OS9 days I kept all my apps in sub-folders of the Apple menu, and even though I use FruitMenu now, I have kinda moved everything to the dock. Its all organized somehow, in a bizarre way - so I know where my stuff is. I use command-tab for app switching btw - though sometimes also the dock.

how do you do a screen print using OS X? Excuse me cuz I'm new to Mac.

In any application, Command-Shift-3 will create a PDF of your entire screen and save it to your desktop. Command-Shift-4 lets you draw a marquee to capture a specific area; hitting the Space bar will let you capture a specific window.

Here is a rare picture of Mac OS X 10.0 taken last month. I was kind of bored in the holidays and stumbled across my 10.0 CD.

In the picture I am installing civilization 3. Unfortunately it wouldn't run. Actually my iBook came out after 10.0, so it was kind of fun the OS runned at all.

Wow - that brings back some memories... I remember being completely over-awed about how good it looked.
