[QUOTE="RadioSaigon, post: 1119951, member: 161927"] Gidday Gav I'm very new to the world of Mac myself -just a little over a week. All I have done along these lines thus far is change the wallpaper (to another supplied with the OS) and modify a few of the settings in System Preferences of what is/is not displayed on the desktop. Essentially, I haven't gone down the path of theming [I]per se[/I], certainly in the Windows fashion... However, in the course of my research, I have come across a programme by the name of [URL="http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/download.php"]GeekTool[/URL] that may be of interest to you. There's basic information [URL="http://www.macosxtips.co.uk/geeklets/about"]here[/URL] and a very active thread/discussion on its use and code-snippets (including examples and images of what you can achieve) [URL="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=628023&highlight=geeklets"]here[/URL] and of course, [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/os-x-applications-games/210866-geektool-what-how-do-i-get-what-do-i-do.html"]here[/URL]. This is probably not what you were expecting -and possibly a bit more hands-on than you'd like- but hopefully of some benefit to you. I'm sure someone will be along shortly with more information on the availability of themes! [/QUOTE]
