I got sick of having a cluttered desktop and inconsistent beauty between all of the applications I use. I tweaked TextMate and Terminal, found an awesome background, and finally organized everything on my desktop. Feels so refreshing.
A few links to the awesome apps/plugins I installed:

http://www.eclips3media.com/workshop/2007/12/06/eclips3media-eclm-textmate-theme/ (I modified it a decent amount but this is the base)
http://ciaranwal.sh/2007/11/01/customising-colours-in-leopard-terminal (I also changed the colors here but this is the base, again)
Background from here: http://petercui.deviantart.com/
Things left to do:
- Convert back to Adium and probably do my own skin of it (never found a good one for it and thats why I switched back to iChat)
- Find/make an awesome skin for Firefox
- Keep tweaking Flexbuilder and Eclipse, TextMate now puts both those themes to shame, though the variety makes it easy to spot which is which in Exposé
- Skin Colloquy, very intolerant of anything I’ve found for it so far, though the LovableType (http://blog.plasticmind.com/downloads/theme-colloquy-irc/) theme makes a good base. The main problem here is that Colloquy doesn’t always override the theme settings so you have to dig into CSS.
- And, of course, skin my Tumblr
Other than that I’m fairly happy with where I’m at now.
Was inspired by my customization nemesis: http://aaronwhite.tumblr.com/post/46557830/rock-the-defaults
