Do you use themes (via ShapeShifter) in OSX?
Yes?
No?
Were you even aware that you could?
I personally use ShapeShifter for theming OSX. I use "Full Metal Milk" mod at work, and AllumiteX at home.

You're a sissy though, I was asking everyone else! /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[macworldguy]

Yes.
I have no idea how to show you what themes I use.
What is the URL for the download to the theme(s) you use.

Oh, aside from the obvious items what are those programmes in your DOCK ?

Screenshot would probably be a good start /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Themes: No.
Why not: I like OS X the way it looks, with just minor twists (custom disk icons, a few custom folder icons, and nice desktop images).
-rob.

Thanks, griff- finally someone else with the same attitude! Besides, I'm too busy WORKING on my Mac to care what font the menu bar uses... /forums/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I get themes from several places
MacThemes
COTL Studios
Max Themes - the top dog of themers on the Mac

Those are pretty much the standards. But you can also try Resexcellence.com, but you have to wade-through tons of horribly ugly themes to find the few good ones.

The MacNN forums have a GUI Forum that is kind of the "Home" of themers on the Mac. ALL the themers hang out there, and you tend to get previews of new themes being worked on, as well as modifications to existing themes, etc...

I use shapeshifter for my themes on my iBook, I don't use any on my iMac.

[maflynn]

I use them - using SS.
MacThemes has a nice collection.

I do not use themes because they do not work in Terminal. ...... I use terminal when ever I can and I like the cleanness of the black and white.
Gizmo I just put my home dir. on the dock and I do not have to have all of that clutter like you.
I even try to find ways to get rid of some of the default apps in dock. actually I would not mind getting rid of dock alltogether. BTW the only icon on my desktop is an alias to printer.
Clean is really sweat. get rid of all desktop clutter.

I have a 1600x1200 pixel screen... I have the room to spare! I like being able to launch apps quickly and without scrolling through the App folder every time. Plus, when doing graphic design, you often open files from App A in AppB or App C, being able to quickly drop them on top of another application's icon makes it quick and easy.
