Show off your OSX desktop

Nice Background, mind sharing? Also what the name of the app you are using to display the date in the menu bar.

 

[compslckr]

not sure what program he is using, but you can tweak the date display in your menubar to include additional details (Day, Month, Year, etc)

After experimenting a little more with GeekTool and some other stuff, Ive found what I think is my favorite UI for Mac in a long time.

Got to ask, how did you get it all black like that?

 

[dllfiles12]

^ soso sick!

 

[the_architect713]

@ranviper - love the black menu bar. Can you share a how to and links to files needed?

 

[ranviper]

Haha thanks guys.

For the menu bar you will need nocturne, its one o fit's features, and frankly, the only one I use from the app.

Snow leopard with no problems. Not using anything incompatable. Why?

Either way here is an update. Got bored with the black dock, but changed it and am using the ribbon over the apple, and some new icons. =) I like these icons even more.

The rest can be done using the guide in my previous posts.

looking up how you got the whole system windows (like itunes) into the black style. It mentions Magnifique but it seems to be deadly to SL.

Oh yeah I know, I don't use magnifique. I use just a few light weight apps. Nocturne for the menu bar, geektool and mirage for the dock, times, weather, etc, (links in my pervious posts) and the iTunes theme only works with iTunes 9 (I don't have a black theme anymore because I use iTunes 10) but here is the link:

That looks great. Is it some kind of desktop widget?

I got a new 2011 mac mini server, so I thought that after almost 8 years of using Aqua Graphite as my wallpaper, it would be time to change it up a little.

I think I found this desktop from someone else on the thread, I was looking for a muted grey desktop as having a neutral background helps with the photo editing.

The screens are dual 2209WA's, one horizontal one vertical. Arranged as they are in the pic. I would like it if I could find a real 1050x1680 version of the wood background so the sizes of the planks would be consistent between my two monitors.

The laptop got the same treatment
