Some built-in customization options for your Mac, to change your Mac wallpaper, screensaver and what’s in your Dock.
Changing the desktop background
Screensavers and photo slideshows
Customize the Dock: size, position, effects. Add folders or applications to the Dock
This all offers only a basic makeover. Many of us have been disappointed with how little can be customized with OS X as compared to the earlier Mac OS9. For a more complete transformation of OS X, checkout Candybar, which will allow you to change the look and feel of system icons, folders, and the Dock to a remarkable degree. The trial download gives you plenty of time to get your Mac looking the way you want before it runs out.
