Shapeshifter makes a larger impact IMO than candybar or silk, but I use all 3....

my order of recomendation for you is in this order (of course for complete optimization you need all 3)

1.)Shapeshifter
2.)Candy Bar
3.)Silk

you can get all of them from unsanity.com

you can see mine in the official desktop customization thread, I just posted it 5 min ago.

INflexion: where did you get the RAM usage % in your menu bar?

Wow I have a lot of questions.

Fyrman, how did you get your iChat to do what it is in that picture, small and on the corner like that. Is it a new feature with tiger or can I do it in panther.
