28 Ways to Customize Your Mac Desktop

Written by Danny Outlaw on June 3, 2009

Yesterdays edition of my Mac Week special showcased some cool and clever customized Mac desktops. As I had anticipated, I had a ton of questions about how to customize your Mac desktop in such a manner. So, I quickly got to work on this post that is full of tutorials, apps, and widgets that will let you customize your Mac desktop to your hearts content.

I feel it is worth pointing out that a majority of the really customized desktops are done with a program called GeekTool which you will see later on down the list. All of the tweaks that involve the use of GeekTools have a “GT” beside their title just to help keep things a bit more organized. If you know any other cool apps, scripts, or customization tips, please share them in the comments!
