Ok, I've been a member here for a few years, but I am only now getting around to customizing my desktop. Can anyone please help me identify:
1) The dock/icon set. Is the dock appearance/active application indicator accomplished solely with Candybar, or is there something else at work? And what is that icon set?
2) I have the iStat Pro widget already, but I like the appearance of iStat in the menu bar. Is it worth the purchase over the free widget?
3) What is the name of the clock/weather app on the desktop?
Sorry for the barrage of newbie questions. Many thanks!

1) The icon set is part of CandyBar. The indicators you can modify by going to:
Macintosh HD: System: Libary: Core Services: right click on Dock.App and choose Show Package Contents: Contents: Resources: find the indicator files. I change mine up every month- including the color of the Dock, which you find the
scurve image files.
My orange Dock. I edited both the indicator lights and the scurve image files with ColorSync. It takes a bit of practice to get it right. As for those custom lights, I think CandyBar might still be the program to edit these, but I'm not sure. I like what Apple already has to offer for the dock lights.
2) The widget is good. I had the menubar, but it got increasingly cluttered. I switched to the widget on Dashboard
3) GeekTool. GeekTool is a load of fun if you're a bash (*cough* Terminal) user. There are a ton of sites through one Google search to find GeekTool commands. I turned mine off for next month (you'll guys will recognize this next month's wallpaper!!!) as it ruined the background.
