Change the "Displays" icon in your menu bar

There's a great trick over at Creative Bits. As Tigerstorm notes, Apple's offerings of displays has changed over recent years, yet Mac OS X still uses the same plastic Cinema Display icon in the menu bar. Wouldn't you like it more if that icon more accurately reflected the display you're using? I would.

Using some Photoshop trickery, Tigerstorm demonstrates how to make your own display icon for the menu bar, and how to install it on your system (after backing up the original, right?). Or, if you're more of the immediate gratification type, you can grab icons he's already made for the iMac G5, the metal cinema displays, the Powerbook and iBook.
