I hope Vista causes Apple to include something everyone has wanted in OSX from day one: themes. I like how Vista has that simple theme switcher. Want a pinkish interface? Blue? Red?
Functionally speaking, OSX is spot on, and gets better with every update. But sometimes I get bored of Stormtrooper White, you know?

Apple will never let you change Aqua dramatically, I think they follow the theory of that allowing a theme is admitting your solution is not as good as it should be. Which I can understand considering the amount of work they put into interface design an usability.
Although I think at some point in the future they will let us hue-shift the blue/graphite components, because it would need to be done in real time so applications throughout the system that use custom graphics can do it too.
Or you could just install Shapeshifter :) |
Yeah, I thought so. I used to run ShapeShifter, but was worried when I had some dock issues. I really like being able to change themes on a whim, so I'll give it another shot.
I really want Apple to provide hue-shifting; even OS 9 supported this! With Leopard, everything (well, almost everything) is going to be resolution-independent, so I would hope some simply colour changes would be natively available.

Um, already possible in every Windows release ever since 3.1 or 95?
By the way, Windows Vista is the next puzzle in achieving TCPA.[/quote]
Oh I am quite aware of Windows inherent customization options. I remember somebody's pink-with-huge-window-labels-in-godawful-script theme back in t he mid-90's.
Sawtooth: I am messing around with Shapeshifter again, yes. I see the link you included contains a simple Aqua theme that removes the arbitrary brushed metal from apps. I'm going to use it!
(I know there was a utility released a few years ago that also strips apps of brushed metal.)
