OS X :: Changing The Desktop Theme?
Mar 11, 2009
I am looking to see if there is a program(s) out there to change OS X desktop theme. Mainly how the tool bar looks/acts.
I want my kids to start using my G4 and they have no concept of where to look for the apps folder or how it works. They are used to Window and Ubuntu.
I like how Ubuntu has programs ot change how the tool bar acts. I was hoping to change the mac a little.
Also off the base of this thread, coming from a Windows and Linux past, is it an issue if my kids just click the red X instead of using the File/quit method to close programs? I see the menu bar still exists when they just hit the X..

I was wondering if its possible, and if so, how to change the theme of my mac? The default metallic that the Mac comes with is pretty boring to me, and I was wondering how I would go about changing my theme to a custom made one.

When I set my background to change everyday, it changes every time I restart instead. Do Macs consider that a day change or something? When else does it change, every time it's midnight?

my iMac keeps reverting after i'd say 2-5 minutes to the original default Snow Leopard background. I used to run a theme which changed every 15 minutes but since turned it off now it won't have any of it.

Got a new MBP 13". Just the one problem. Every now and again, always when I am touching the mousepad, the icon sizes on the desktop change. I then have to go into Show View Options and set it back again to what I want.

I know the 'show desktop' shortcut is F11 (which means pressing two keys to show this fn+F11). Can I change this shortcut to F13? so i can just press one key to bring up the desktop?

I was wondering if there is a way to change the icons of the websites that I placed on my desktop. When I place a website icon on my desktop it doesnt have a picture it just has an @ with http under it. Is there a way to make it into a picture icon instead of just plain text.

About a month ago I upgraded my computer from Snow Leopard to Lion, but now there are some features that I had in Snow Leopard that I can't figure out how to change in Lion.I heavily relied on Spaces for opening my programs and more importantly, opening up certain programs in certain desktops. I was able to go into my System Preferences and choose which program I wanted to open up in which desktop in Spaces. Now that I have Lion (and Spaces is gone) certain programs still open up in certain desktops, but I don't want that feature anymore. Am I stuck with programs opening up in those selected desktops, or is there somewhere in my computer that I can go to change that?

For some reason, every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.
I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

I am running a clean install OS X, including my third-party applications, and this five-year-old machine has never run better. However, an anomaly has arisen. Whenever I push play (iTunes) my desktop picture disappears briefly, replaced by a neutral gray screen, before reappearing. As I write this, I quit and re-launched iTunes and the problem still exists. I am loathe to restart my computer as I am in the middle of some pressing business. I will check back if a restart resolves this issue, otherwise, feel free to comment.
With iTunes running, pushing Play starts the song and one-second later my desktop picture disappears briefly. Pushing the button (Pause) again stops the song but nothing else happens. I am currently listening to iTunes DJ and just now the O'Jays started playing and without my doing anything, the desktop picture disappeared and reappeared. I have iShowUHD and will make a recording of it, if it continues.

maybe I'm just stupid, but I have tried to download a theme from InterfaceLIFT but I can't open it. While it is downloading it has a zip icon next to it, but when it's done and I try to open it, it comes up as a word document that has nothing but code on it. Do I need to click, drag and drop it somewhere or something? Should I be opening it with a certain application?

I have seen many screenshots (like the one below) of modified menu bars that have probably been made using some application. I like how you can change the WiFi icon to cell bars. And I have no idea how they got links to Macintosh HD, movies and TV shows on the desktop. Does anyone know what app that is?
And on the desktop, I have seen that some people have their iTunes album artwork and the song playing show on their desktops. I have many different commands, like the date and time, running on my desktop using Geektool. But I have never thought that geektool would be able to show the artwork though. Is there another app that lets you have this or is it also geektool?

about a month or two ago I was trying to change the theme and the software I used had a restore theme but it had a weird glossy thing over the buttons and the close and minimize and change window size buttons where to small so after digging around I found this theme where the buttons where normal but the menubar scroll bar and a few other things are changed still so I uninstalled the software and the theme stayed how can I bring back the original with all the icons the same and all that stuff without losing my files.

Is there a way to do my idea? You plug in the flash drive and when you double-click it, and background pops up with a little box for you to enter a password. I don't think any apps can do this, but is it possible?

I have a 27" iMac with a near top configuration. I use it for a large part of the time in a business context, and for that I use Illustrator and Photoshop CS5 extensively. After a difficult conversion from WindowsLand - my fault, I'm sure - I'm now a very enthusiastic Apple customer. The rest of the time is email, on the Web, hosting a large family photo library, music and all the usual stuff.
I also have an iPad 1st generation, which I use for email and as a storage for my digital photographs when I go on long haul vacations, two or three times a year [family live abroad]. While the iPad is great, it doesn't have ethernet, and not all places have WiFi. Also, photo management and linking to social media sites is a bit of a kludge. It doesn't run MS Office for Mac either.
So I am considering buying a laptop for use when I'm not in front of the iMac. I have ruled out the 15" MacBook Pro on size and portability grounds [and the new retina model on cost], so I'm looking at the 13" MacBook Pro, primarily because I had assumed the Air would not be sufficently powerful or capable for my needs. Now I'm in a quandary. Which might be the best option - MBP or MBA?
I like the MBP because it is upgradeable, whereas the Air isn't. However, I'm not replaceing the iMac with the laptop, simply wishing to be able to do a small amount of support work for my colleagues when I'm away. If I buy the best configuration for my needs to start with, why would I need to upgrade it? In addition, both the MBA and MBA can provide the ethernet that the iPad can't [albeit with an add-on for the Air] and can deal with the output from my digital cameras better than the iPad can.

Is there any application that can create an iOS theme on a os x computer? This would let you use the mouse as your finger to swipe through different pages (not like spaces)? I have heard chatter that when (if) MacBooks get touch screens, then Apple may produce an iOS like system for them.

I was wondering if anyone knew of a dock theme or hack that I could install relatively painlessly on 10.6.4 that makes the Dock, when placed at the bottom, look like it does when placed on either side of the screen. I've been looking all over the place but all I've found are themes for Candybar and co. that make the reflective bottom area some weird different color or texture. I would like to see a theme that makes the Dock more 2D-ish and at least similar to what you see on the sides of the screen when placed there.

I like the pro theme (or skin, or whatever you want to call it) in the settings for the terminal.... I also like to use the tabs. The problem is whenever I open a new tab, it goes right back to the default white background terminal. How do I make it so that the theme applies to new tabs as well?
