Mac OS X Users - ShapeShifter 1.2 from Unsanity

ShapeShifter is a revolutionary new product that lets you change the overall appearance of your Mac using 'themes'. We're not talking about just desktop backgrounds and icons here, we're talking about everything - the look of windows, menus, apps, buttons, absolutely everything. You don't wear the same clothes everyday, your house doesn't look exactly like your neighbor's - why should the computing interface you use everyday be any different. You personalize your physical workspace to suit your tastes and whims, so why not your Mac? With ShapeShifter, you can:
  • Change the overall appearance of your operating system safely, quickly, and reliably;
  • Change the appearance of individual apps to match your theme and your mood;
  • Experience things that haven't been possible with Mac themes before;
  • Quickly preview themes without actually applying them;
  • Use Jaguar themes in Panther effortlessly;
  • Install different themes for different users;
  • Add and remove themes effortlessly.

What's new in v1.2?
  • Added ability for themes to skin individual applications.
  • Clicking a hyperlink of the form guiKit://www.someHost.com/myGreatTheme.guiKit launches ShapeShifter, downloads the theme, and loads it into ShapeShifter for you.
  • ShapeShifter now manages theme files for you.
  • Adding a new theme file to ShapeShifter now copies it into your ShapeShifter guiKits folder. This means that you can now double-click themes from within disk images to load them into ShapeShifter.
  • Removing a theme file from ShapeShifter now moves it to the trash. Pressing the delete key can now also be used to remove a theme.
  • Dramatically improves load time for the ShapeShifter preference pane.
  • ShapeShifter finally uses the Metal Window texture properly.
  • Added support for .theme files.
  • Safari now implements its metal windows just like every other app in the operating system. This means that themes that user large metal window bevels will look good in Safari.
  • Cocoa applications no longer clip patterns to an 8x8 pixel square. This makes themes like Brushed look better in Cocoa.
  • Address Book now honors the etched text colors.
  • Text color fixes - Finder Show Info Panel, Finder View Options, miscellaneous Carbon dialogs, Safari webpage text boxes, miscellaneous Cocoa list & browser views.
  • It's now possible for themes to modify appearance of the Keychain menu extra, the standard Color and Font panels, standard Cocoa toolbar items, toolbar Poofs, Cocoa browser views, Cocoa open/save panel label colors, the Cocoa table view drag indicator, and text rulers.
  • Added Spanish localization courtesy of Fernando Alvarez.
  • Fixed an issue that could cause inactive titlebars to use the color of a previously installed theme instead of that of the currently installed theme.
  • Using DLTA themes that contain multiple localizations on a Jaguar-based operating system no longer results in possibly mis-localized Finder menus.
  • Resolved an issue that would cause System Preferences to freeze if the user attempted to quit System Preferences while ShapeShifter was busy.
  • Resolved an issue that could cause the status bar at the bottom-right of the preference pane not to update.
  • Resolved an issue that could sporadically keep ShapeShifterCacheManager from working properly.
  • Misc speed improvements in ShapeShifterCacheManager.
  • More speedups when waking from sleep.
  • ShapeShifter will no longer try to display a modal notification while the screen is locked.
  • The ShapeShifter prefpane no longer tries to read in all themes if an error condition that would keep the prefpane from being used exists.
  • Slight optimizations to application launch times.
  • When your operating system has been upgraded but the Unsanity servers have not yet been updated with info for the new OS, you are now warned before a theme is installed.
  • Fixed a possible Finder crash.
The addition of Safari skins is nice. Now the custom buttons and the progress bar are skinned
