Old desktops (2010–2015) 13 Jul 2015

Since the interface-editing golden years of, eh, 2009, I’ve always been changing the way my desktop looks, be it through editing system files (this died with Snow Leopard, unfortunately), Geektool, Bowtie/Ecoute themes, and Adium themes. Here’s a five-year journey through CloudApp and my changing tastes. Starting with…

0 Picture 1

The oldest extensively-customized screenshot I have. Pretty gross. I made the folder/drive icons, never released them anywhere though.

1 Picture 1-1

Still gross.

2 Picture 1-2 3 Picture 1-3 4 Picture 1-4

And there we go. I peaked in 2011.

5 Picture 1-5

Pretty as it was, DragThing was horrible to actually use. I only turned it on for taking screenshots.

I edited both the menubar files and the highlighted blue section. The only thing I miss Snow Leopard for.

This didn’t last long.
