I really wish I knew :s - Are they not supposed to be that way? - The menu, I dont know the theme didnt fill it up all the way I guess :\


About the menu, I just restarted and it fixed it. But what do you mean about the qt buttons?

Cheers!

You menu extras just need to be reloaded. In shape shifter check restart menu extras after apply then re apply your skin and it should b fixed.

Please excuse my laziness if this is somewhere else in this thread, but how do you guys make the top bar and other window outlines different colors? Is it something you can change in system preferences or is there a download that allows you to do it?

Thanks

well, about the qt buttons, I am on 10.3.9, I upgraded to qt 7, the buttons turned square and look different, the icon also changed, then I downgraded back to 6.5.2, the buttons and icons stayed though

you can do it with a program (shareware) called shapeshifter. It's nice. I'd say check it out.
