[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1197690, member: 190607"] Surprisingly, I haven't had anyone ask about themes in a long while. I just checked, and even though there used to be a number of applications to change themes for OS X, most are now gone. There is no sign on the Web of Themer or Duality anymore, for instance. What's left for changing themes is: Shapeshifter [url=http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/shapeshifter/]Unsanity — ShapeShifter — Makers of haxies and other innovative products for Mac OS X[/url] (not compatible with OS X 10.6) and Themechanger [url=http://themechanger.sourceforge.net/]ThemeChanger[/url] (no mention as to whether it works with OS X 10.6) There is also: Candybar [url=http://www.iconfactory.com/cb_home.asp]Panic - CandyBar 3 - Change and Organize Your Mac OS X Icons and Dock[/url] an app that allows you to change OS X's system icons. As for actual themes, there are a few resources out there. I'd start at the most excellent Resexcellence site, which has themes -- and much more: [url=http://www.resexcellence.com/themes/]ResExcellence | Appearance Themes[/url] Also check out: [url=http://www.maxthemes.com/]Max Themes[/url] There's a rather dated thread at Accelerate Your Mac about OS X themes: [url=http://xlr8yourmac.com/OSX/os_x_themes_performance.html]More Comments, Performance Tests on OS X Themes[/url] I hope this helps. This is an area that isn't as popular as it once was. ___________________________________________ Randy B.
