Ok, so I reversed course on using the two Macs as my background on my 15in because the white background may be a bit strong. However, I am using the new El Captian 2 wallpaper from the Beta/Public Beta because it looks really cool on here, and like @MacCubed said, it makes them look very modern. To further the modern look, I combined the Yosemite/El Cap icons with the theme included with CandyBar (Float by Corey Marion) to give the system a really sleek look. I used the theme on both 15in and 12in, but currently I only have the El Cap wallpaper on the 15in;
I actually like the dock you are using better! Link?This is mine for August 2015
Dock theme: Dark Scurve
So I actually spent about 2 hours exporting all the El Capitan icons from my MacBook Pro and converting them to 10.5-compatible ICNS file with Icon Composer. I then used CandyBar to replace all system icons and application icons. I also installed the Mountain Leopard System theme.
Attached is the final result.
pretty satisfied.

Thanks for the link!
Would you mind uploading the icons? Because I could really use those for my App icons and if I change my mind about my current theme. Also, I could pass the icons onto Gavin to use with his Yosemite/El Cap theme since he is missing quite a few.
Yeah I was thinking about contacting him but there are still a few icons missing. I have all the ones in the Candybar options but some icons like the home folder in the sidebar, the Archive Utility etc need to be replaced manually. I could give you the ones I've got now if you want.
You two are welcome for the wallpaper inspiration. I actually think it looks better on Leopard/Snow Leopard than Yosemite/El CapitanThis is mine for August 2015

Anyone know how to theme the Yosemite menu bar to look like the one in Leopard?

C'mon, at least Yosemite knows a lot of neat tricksSigh. Sorry guys. I spend most of my time in Yosemite. I hate it. Give me Leopard please.

I love that wallpaper. It's been on all my Macs since it was released.
I actually pretty like the look of Yosemite/El Capitan but I hate the lags of the UI in Yosemite. Way better in El Capitan.
Ahh! Clipping around hair - the bane of my life around 10 years ago...that and feather boas!
LOL! Yeah, I do it for a living. I'm just a little less anal about it for my own stuff though. Unfortunately, the particular content I have been using lately for my desktops are all images created in the mid-50s to mid-70s where backgrounds and image quality weren't of as much concern as they are now.
Nice desktop, although those two white coffee beans remind me of Mmm, for lack of a better word "beavers"

Yeah, I can see that. It's occured to me as well.Nice desktop, although those two white coffee beans remind me of Mmm, for lack of a better word "beavers"
All I can say is - I did NOT create the logo for this coffee brand.
This is the desktop I settled on for my newly acquired PowerBook G4 12 inch. After upgrading the HDD from the 80GB it came with to a 120GB I had sitting around, I went ahead and did a clean install of the OS and found this pic for my background at WallpapersWide.com.
I usually rotate my desktop pics between these two pictures from time to time...the second picture is the wallpaper I tend to favor for my PowerBook...

I like the first one, kind of reminds me of whatever science-fiction story you want to think of where drop ships are coming in and preparing for an orbital drop. Pretty cool.
The second…care to share?
Yeah I agree the first desktop pic is pretty cool...I got it because of that science fiction like theme.... as for the second pic, it's a MacBook Pro keyboard with keyboard lighting...just love the bokeh affect with the other keys being lit...
I'm sorry! For some reason I misunderstood.... here they are! I also added a second keyboard pic...this is the one I used to run on my Pismos (a PowerBook G4 15 or 17 inch keyboard).
