I seriously doubt that I'll ever settle on a theme. Some of these show up Aqua.



The ShapeShifter site





Yeah, yeah, I'm a year late on this. But I LOVE it.

    I like eXec. And most of the themes made by Max Rudberg.

    I just want Tiger to come out already. And the real question is, how many of my current apps and extras will remain compatible? Oh bother.

    I've been waiting to pull the trigger on the installer. I was waiting for that point where I finally grow tired of Aqua and want a change. Strangely, this time hasn't come, yet, as I expected it should have (believe me, I was a BIG Kaleidoscope freak). I'll still collect a scheme or 2 when I see one I really like.

    I've been using this theme, which looks more smooth and professional than Graphite, and (this is the real nicety) makes Aqua and Metal look the same and for that reason really consolidates your desktop environment quite nicely.

    What ever happened to the Onyx theme that was supposed to be all the rage?

    The name sounds familiar, but I dunno. Wasn't that originally a Kaleidoscope scheme (or just a coincidental same name circumstance)? If so, I may have Onyx for OS9 Kaleidoscope...

    blah. if themes were remotely stable and easy to control i'd use them. i have nothing but trouble from shapeshifter, and it is OS X, so it's alright.

    i personally hate shapeshifter, a lot of the themes are cool but they dont stay cool for long. somewhere somehow they have something missing or something bugging out, the customization isnt crazy enough for me to give up the small better things about having the normal gui



    the pic placebo posted looks hot tho nice stuff

    Are you referring to the "half-drawn" line drawing look? If so, I do recall seeing a Shapeshifter theme done in that inspiration. As for what it was called, out-of-memory exception...

    I ended up buying Shape-Shifter because of this thread. Some themes are bearable forever, and others are not friendly on your eyes. They are difficult to say the least, but Man are they cool.



    Milk is good, Exec, and AlumiteX are good. Brushed is still good, but I've lost my taste for brushed metal. I'm using Aluminum Alloy Cryogenic, and I like it. I have the old solid blue spinning beach ball for my wait curser, and my pointer is also blue. I liked that old version better. Sweet Coma is about the coolest thing I've ever seen, but it's not friendly right off the bat. Your eyes will have to do some adjusting, and it's not an easy process. Sweet Slumber/Sweet Coma is why I decided to buy it. I didn't know you could take such liberties with the way the windows looked. I want to make a theme now.

    Gah! I'm looking through the Kaleidoscope archive but I'm not find it!

    i hate to say it, but i was perusing another site of a developer that was still making classic-compatible plug-ins, and it had large screenshots of classic dialog boxes, and you know what? i now officially MISS that look. bold outlines, crisp aliased text. am i just being nostalgic? personally, i think my senses just want a break from all the color and fuzziness and glows of operating systems today. that stark bleak nothing-but-the-facts look was, in a way, refreshing.



    strange, i know.
