The Breakroom

Anthony locked himself away in the basement print lab with some etching materials and a copy of CandyBar 3 and told us he wasn’t coming out until he had something special just for you. We’re pleased to report that he’s emerged and brought an all-new copy of his popular Litho System with him, now with 512×512 sizes for Mac OS X, Leopard!

But wait, Anthony says if you “act now” you’ll also get a special free CandyBar 3 iContainer complete with a ultra-distressed Litho style dock that will make you envy of all the cool kids. With an offer like that, can you really afford to stand around when you could be downloading the new Litho System for Leopard and Vista right now? We didn’t think so either, so go get it and happy holidays!

UPDATE: For a complete Litho overhaul, you can download a few brand-new Litho desktop pictures (2.6 MB .zip file) – four colors in fullscreen, widescreen, and iPhone formats. Enjoy!

With only a precious few shopping days left, Ged has updated his holiday icon release from 2003, Winter Wonderland, just in time for Christmas. This fun and bright set of desktop icons is now complete with 512×512 and 256×256 sizes for Leopard and Vista and even includes new, iPhone inspired versions as well. In addition, the new Winter Wonderland contains a snow-covered custom dock, perfect for use with CandyBar 3 and Ged’s Alpine desktop pictures released in 2001. Grab a cup hot cocoa, your mittens and some mistletoe, then slide on over and download this special gift we wrapped just for you. Happy Holidays everyone!

Corey Marion’s eagerly anticipated system replacement set is now available for download on the Freeware page. Candybar 3 users had a bit of a head start since Float is the bundled default icon set but now everyone can get it. Float includes large icon sizes for Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista.

If your Leopard desktop is suffering a drought of creativity, we have just the thing – David Lanham has refreshed his popular Agua System and Agua Extras icon sets. Now all three Agua sets – Agua, Agua Extras Vol. 1, and Agua Apps Vol. 1 – include 512×512 icon sizes and new Dock resources for Leopard. Download all three, then fire up CandyBar 3 for a refreshing change of scenery on your desktop!

It’s taken over four years, but this week Futurama marks its long-awaited return to the small screen in the form of Bender’s Big Score on DVD. To mark the occasion of Bender, Fry, Leela and the Professor’s return to our living rooms, Ged has worked hard to bring you volume 5 in his series of icons based on the show.

Futurama Volume 5 – Heads In Jars, has 16 of your favorite celebrities like William Shatner, Lucy Lui, Al Gore, George Takei and many others. But that’s not all, not by a long shot! Futurama Vol. 5’s iContainer includes a custom Leopard Dock built with a technology not yet available here on Earth. Okay, that’s not true, it was made for the newly released CandyBar 3 from Panic. We got a little carried away there, sorry.

And of course, what GUI makeover would be complete without a futuristic desktop? That’s right, Ged’s also got a hilarious Futurama wallpaper just for you – The Krokermite Maneuver, based on the classic Futurama episode, Where No Fan Has Gone Before.

So with all this Groening goodness going on, don’t just sit there, head on over and download Futurama Vol. 5, and the desktop today. Come to think of it, all the previous versions of Futurama have also been recently updated for Leopard with 512×512 resources too, so put those cable modems to good use and get downloading while we enjoy the new movie on DVD. Have fun!
