Not so long ago I wrote about changing the login screen on OS X.  It was a detailed post about navigating through system folders and some copying and pasting and such. But today I bring you a better and more powerful way to customize your login experience. Introducing Visage.

Visage allows you to edit the login panel and the login background. It also brings the ability to enable desktop effects to your finger tips. Just install the Preference pane and you are good to go. Simplicity is always good.

Customizing my mac has always been a good way to make your computer more personal. You’ll know what I am talking about next time you start up your mac and look are newly customized mac.

Hit up keakaj.com/visage for the download link. OS X 10.1+

At the time of release this app is still limited to participants of the GrandCentral beta. Bummer huh.

Vocito is essentially a quick dialer that lets you dial your phone directly from your desktop. Vocito is also integrated into Address Book, QuickSilver, and Automator, and is fully AppleScriptable. The AppleScript connection makes it easy to have Vocito automatically dial your phone from just about any application that supports scripting or Automator actions. For example, you can easily set up your iCal meeting appointment to automatically dial the conference call for you at the correct time.

While still very fresh, it seems as though once this program takes of it will be very popular and simplify many aspects of our lives.
