I say your latest shot is PC. Because your "About this mac" is missing the disabled buttons. Your iphoto is missing it's shadow.

Nice system preferences panel though.

Oh yeah, which dock are you using there btw?

#7641

Using Y'z dock, Smoke.

Thank you, but it is easy.

I'm using an edited version of Deggy's Window Blinds skin(with permission for future release)

also, DesktopX for the system pref's, and About.exe

ALL these files can be found on the site.

Duckie,

That's a script for Samurize called "Aquaish Taskband". There should be a link for it here on the forums if one does a search.

If it's not found here, please let me know and I will email it to you.

I'm going to gather up all the scripts I've made that are Aqua related and send them to bill so they can be hosted on Aqua Source.

I just haven't done it yet as I am tired at the moment.

All the best,

Grusic

Hi all,

I've noticed in some of the screen shots that some of you are running a program that displays weather conditions in the taskbar.

I hoped these aren't faked as I would like to have such a display myself.

So, what is the name of the program and where might I find it?

Thanks in advance,

Grusic

#7733

Do you meen WeatherCast?

Download it here

Peace

Duckie, you mention that the DesktopX system pref's can be found on "the site" what site are you reffering to? I have searched these forums and found nothing.

Hello,

I saw at some of your screenshots a calendar. What program do you use and where can i get this?

Where can i get ResHacker? How do i use it, to change icons?

Thanks.

Hi Duckie,

Thanks for the fast reply.

While Weatherbug is nice, I was hoping for something that actually included weather icon support.

There are some Samurize scriptes that do have that feature, but I'm hesitate to use them as they are VBScripts and resource intensive.

Is there another weather monitoring program with taskbar icon support that anyone knows of?

Again, thanks in advance and Happy New Year,

Grusic

np, glad to help, but are you speaking of one which would allow moon phases/etc? if so, i'm on the search for that myself.

u-neek, the calender in most of the shots is RainLender, but I believe Samurize does it as well.

As for res-hacker, try Google. That way you can find the latest build.

#7841

I've seen a few screenshots with what i assume are a black Aqua windowblinds skin. Does anybody know if there are any dark or black OSX visual styles?
