So I was poking around on the webs and ran across one of the Kryptonites , for me, of the computer world. I found a program that changes the Graphic user interface for OS X.
This little program called Shapeshifter from Unsanity.com is the really great. Over the years I have been involved with several of these GUI skinning programs and they all have their weaknesses. I have thus far not found a signifigant problem with this one.
In the hunt I also found this little program called iPulse made by the fine folks at Iconfactory.com. It connects to your system monitors to tell you what is going on with your computer through a very clean and skinnable interface. In addition to it incredibly sexy graphic nature it shows you a window (transparent, my favorite kind) with various data when you mouse over the different regions.
So cool. This is another reason to get a Mac (or run Linux...). If you tried this on your PC the whole thing would virtually explode or melt on your desk.
Both these have a very low Ram footprint which makes them at least a little guilt free.
On a final note if you keep any notes on your computer and need to organize you virtul brain you may need VooDooPad. Look into it.
I would write more but Rachel ( my wife ) keeps rubbing her butt on me...
