When I get a new computer it takes me some time to feel comfortable with it. I usually have a lot of things to change, e.g. rename the hard drive, change the desktop wallpaper, change the Dock, customize folders and their view, and set a screensaver.

Change your desktop background - go to your system preferences, click on Desktop & Wallpapers and then click on the Tab "Desktop". On the left side you can see a list with folders where you can find pictures you can use. But you can also use your own image - just click on any image you like with your right mouse and choose "set as desktop wallpaper"

Use your own Icons - if you don't have any just go to Google and add "Mac OS X Icons" and you will find great sets. Mark a folder you want to change the icon for, click CMD + I and you get into the information window of that folder. Mark the new icon you want to add and press CMD + C to copy it. Now mark on top left the icon the folder has so far and then press CMD + V to paste the icon into the folder.

Folder size - Especially when you have a large screen this is helpful. Go to your Finder and click CMD + J to open the preferences. Now use the slide for the symbol size to increase or decrease the size of your icons.

Customize the Finder Sidebar - When you have some folders you need to open again and again it is helpful to have it in the sidebar because this allows you to open it with just one click. Drag and drop any folder to any position you like and if you want to get rid of your folder just click on it and pull it out of the sidebar and it disappears again.

Nowadays, screensavers and wallpapers have shifted to Animated and 3D wallpapers and screensavers. Meaning your background is actually living or alive. Some of the more popular animated wallpapers are such beautiful things as dolphins swimming around your screen, animals playing in the forest, waterfalls flowing behind your documents, falling leaves of fall, christmas santa on his sleigh, dinosaurs roaring including t-rex and flying dinos, cute animals including kittens, dogs running around your screen, fresh flowers blooming with each day, and even the ocean waves breaking on the sand as you check your email...
