Default Candybar for Mac

I love to customize my laptop and OSes. So the other day I started using Candybar for Mac. It seems to be free and fully functional until you try to load over 250 icons and then it will prompt you to pay for and register the full version. The app is awesome it allows you to change so many system icons in the Mac OS. There are also some pretty cool icon sets you can get at this site InterfaceLIFT: Mac OS X icons (by date)

Here are a couple of screenshots of my Mac now
I have different images for Pictures, Documents, Music, etc (It makes it so much faster for me to choose them I don't have to look at the words while scrolling)


Once in Pictures for example it's so easy to tell my pictures folders from where my Iphone pictures are stored


I love it it's awesome. Anyone else have any other programs or sites throw them up.

In windows I used to use StyleXP that thing was sick. Then with Vista it was no more However today I was listening to a Paul Thurott podcast and they mentioned a software that they developed for themes etc. in Vista and Windows 7. They mentioned the site damn if I could remember it now. Anyway check it out and try it I might over the weekend once I load Windows 7 onto my Mac through fusion. I haven't done much tweaking of the Windows OS since Vista.

LOL I don't see why Windows 7 would be slow, it's just a tweaked Vista meaning if Vista can run on the machine Windows 7 should be just fine. My laptop is a Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM which meas I can have 2GB for Mac and 2GB for Windows. I've had it installed for the week and it works just how Vista worked great. All my programs work perfectly. The Windows 7 is actually a smaller installation because before the upgrade I only had 12.9GB free space and after the upgrade it jumped to 17GB of free space. I haven't had any problem at all.
