Hey, everyone. It's been a while. I've been doing some research about Mac OS X, and I found some Terminal commands that I'd like to share (for those who have Macs).

Command #1: Login Messages
Copy and paste this command into Terminal to make a special Login message whenever someone logs in:

sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText "example text"

You will be prompted to type the Admin password. Replace "example text" with whatever you want to use as your message. To disable, type nothing in the quotes.

Command #2: Add double scroll bars on both sides

defaults write "Apple Global Domain" AppleScrollBarVariant DoubleBoth

Use the Appearances pane in System Preferences to change back.

Command #3: Add Dashboard Widgets to the Desktop

defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES
killall Dock

This allows you to drag widgets out of Dashboard onto the desktop. Requires the dock to be relaunched to take effect, so type "killall Dock" and press enter. Now, if you click and hold onto a widget in the dashboard and press F12 to return to the desktop, the widget won't disappear with the rest. Put NO at the end to reverse.

Command #4: Invert iTunes Store Links

defaults write com.apple.iTunes invertStoreLinks -bool YES

Normally the arrows next to artists and albums in your iTunes library search the iTunes store when you click them. This command changes them so that clicking will search your iTunes library instead. Put NO at the end to reverse.

And, as an added bonus, I found a review of Leopard's icons that has a funny icon included. Simply go to System -> Library -> CoreServices. Then scroll down to see public.generic-pc.icns. It's funny, I hear. If someone could reply posting this icon, I'd be grateful.

Anyway, I hope that everyone's been fine without me.
