[QUOTE="CodeSamurai, post: 905856, member: 26618"] Sure! The dock is actually a 2d version included by apple. Go into your terminal and type: That'll get rid of the 3d dock. To revert, just type "NO" where the "YES" is. The info on the bottom is actually an awesome program called "Geektool" that uses scripts to display information at desktop level. Here's the download: [url=http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/]Tynsoe projects[/url] Once you get into that, here are some tips for getting you started: [url=http://lifehacker.com/244026/geek-to-live--monitor-your-mac-and-more-with-geektool]Geek to Live: Monitor your Mac and more with GeekTool - Desktop - Lifehacker[/url] and [url=http://blogof.francescomugnai.com/2009/04/mega-roundup-of-geektool-scripts-inspiration-gallery/]Mega Roundup of Geektool scripts + inspiration gallery. - FrancescoMugnai.com[/url] It's a completely customizable thing, so let it be your own! I actually didn't like where I placed my stuff (next to the dock) so now i have it in the top left corner of my desktop. The picture of the weather is actually a custom php script.
