			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2><strong>1. Loginox: Custom Login Wallpaper</strong></h2>
<p>If all you want to do is change the login wallpaper than <a href="http://www.loginox.branox.com/">Loginox</a> is the app for you. Rather than using a manual hack just drag and drop your new image into a well and you are done.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/loginox-customize-mac-login-window.jpg" border="0" alt="loginox-customize-mac-login-window.jpg" width="470" height="227" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/picture-4.png" border="0" alt="Picture 4.png" width="301" height="200" /><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/change-login-mac.png" border="0" alt="change-login-mac.png" width="299" height="198" /></p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>2. Visage Login: Login Icon, Name, Text and more</strong></h2>
<p>If changing the login wallpaper is not enough than <a href="http://keakaj.com/visagelogin.html" target="_blank">Visage Login</a> should float your boat. As you can see from the image below Visage Login gives you multiple options to modify you login page such as custom text and the date and time etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>Customizing system icons is one of the best was to personalize you Mac. There are many tools and techniques to accomplish this task but here are the best ones out there.</p>
<h3>LiteIcon (Free)</h3>
<p><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/liteicon.png" border="0" alt="LiteIcon.png" width="73" height="60" align="right" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.freemacsoft.net/LiteIcon/">LiteIcon</a> is a free icon changer with a simple clean interface. Just drop the icon you would like to use into the well of the item you would like to change. Such as folders, Dock items (Finder, Trash, Dash Board) Devices etc.</p>
<p><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/lite-icon-screen-shot.png" border="0" alt="Lite Icon Screen Shot.png" width="377" height="336" align="center" /></p>
<p>Then apply changes and relaunch the Finder, log back in and TaDa! New icons. The only drawback to LiteIcon is that it has no option to change application icons.</p>
<h3>Applying Icons with the Finder</h3>
<p>Although LiteIcon does not change application icons there is still a free way to do this using the &#8220;Get Info&#8221; contextual menu.</p>
<p>To do this simply right click on the icon you would like to copy and click on the icon on the top left of the window:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-121.png" border="0" alt="Picture 12.png" width="264" height="350" /></p>
<p>After making sure the icon is selected (has highlight color around it) Do a Command C and then &#8220;get info&#8221; on the application that you would like to change the icon of. In this example Address Book. Once you select the little icon at the top left do a Command V and your icon with have changed.</p>
<h4>From This:</h4>
<p><img src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-13.png" border="0" alt="Picture 13.png" width="264" height="374" /></p>
<h4>Into This:</h4>
<p><img src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/picture-14.png" border="0" alt="Picture 14.png" width="263" height="379" /></p>
<p>If the application you have modified is in the dock you may need to remove it and reinsert it again for the changes to take place.</p>
<h3>CandyBar ($29)</h3>
<p><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/candybar.png" border="0" alt="CandyBar.png" width="109" height="92" align="right" />Aside from not being free <a href="http://www.panic.com/candybar/">CandyBar</a> is an incredibly powerful icons application offering a whole slew of features including application icon optimization, excellent icon organization, <a href="http://www.thecustommac.com/category/mac-appearance/docks/">Dock</a> customizations and much more.<br />
Using CandyBar is as simple as importing your icons and dropping them into the respective icon wells.</p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" src="http://www.thecustommac.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/cb-screenshot-1-v2.jpg" border="0" alt="cb-screenshot_1-v2.jpg" width="498" height="398" /></div>
