I've edited some of the image files to be used as my dashboard and mission control background.

 

Also I've repurposed my dock as I find launching apps using a gesture from Launchpad much easier. I only have currently running apps and commonly accessed folders on my dock now.

 

Enjoy:

True and it seems like it has been reduced to the only theming solution for Lion indeed because I haven't seen anything else that themes the whole OS like it does. Blackmenubar only does the menu and it's done on the fly so cpu usage is involved and more so if you have rotating wallpapers like I myself do.

Date/Time and Current Weather scripts to create images, Imagemagik to invert them and apply transparent gradient, Geektool to apply them to wallpaper and update intervals. Background is HD brushed black metal which matches front of my case, added lower reflecting pool with Pixelmator using semi transparent gradient.

Amit, to have clock or any geeklet partialy covered by an image, you first need to set the background size to be the same as you native resolution, cause if OSX resizes it to fit the screen when you apply it as wallpaper it won't work. you would open your wallpaper in photo shop and crop the rocks or mountains that you want to hide behind and make a 2nd image containing just that mountain or whatever it may be. I'll just say mountains for now. Then in geek tool, you place you clock, and then use a separate image geeklet that just has the image of your mountains and put it overtop the same mountains of your desktop so that it covers exactly the same spot on the desktop that it was cropped from, and it will also cover any other geeklets placed under it such as the bottom of your clock. Hope that made sense :)

Hi, gives a little work, you need to use a photo editor, I used the gimp with the help of this tutorial, the hardest part was to hide the clock, but everything is done, you can view this tutorial here:
