I'm a big fan of the font. Where'd you happen upon that?

You're supposed to keep it down to 800x600.

Some tools that will help you with that include a program I use called iResize.

iTunes widget is call bowtie and the clock is done with an app called Geektool. If you need any help let me know

@Ldawg543

All of the clocks, etc. are done with Geektool. It can be a bit of a pain to use, but if you find a good site that lists scripts, you'll be good. I haven't tried it, but this (outdated link removed) site looks like it has some pretty solid know-how.

The iTunes widgets you're referring to are most likely done with Bowtie. All of the different styles are available with a Google search, and if you've got some HTML/CSS savvy, you can write your own.

Candybar is an application you can use to switch icons (especially the stubborn system ones) and set default icons for new folders, etc. You can also use it for changing the Dock's style. It's not free, but there's a nice long trial before you have to buy.
SuperDocker is another Dock editing application. It's totally free, and super easy to use.
