mac os x sense offense?

[Stellanor]

So, there are some really SWEET-looking downloads on this site - cursors, screensavers, etc. - but aside from the wallpaper, everything looks to be PC-exclusive. Not that that's not justified, but I'm one of those fools (and right now I feel very foolish) with a mac... I love Panther, but dammit, it's downright TOUGH finding cool shit like what you guys have designed and being forced to stare longingly at its .exe extension.

Long story short - does anyone around here write nifty stuff for os x, or know where I could find some EQ-themed programs for my mac? Heh - maybe this is a sign that I should figure out how to work with the source code, already.

[wtf]

Greetings fellow Mac citizen of Libria!

You can do desktops pretty easily without coding. Just fire up Photoshop. Icons can also be easily created in Photoshop by simply saving an image as a Tiff, Pict, etc. The document will create a preview image icon. To use the icon, select "Get info" on the photoshop document and the target document. You can then cut and paste the icon of one to replace the other. It's a poor gal's hack but it works.

You can find some good tools on icons and desktop modification at www.macupdate.com/. The problem is that when the next OS comes out, you'll need to look for more tools since Apple tends to fight any modification of the aqua interface.

Let me know if you need me to elaborate on any of the above. Let us know your results too! I would kill for a good EQ Mac screensaver (outside of using the pictures folder as a slideshow.)
